If
not to your liking..
-If too oily, remelt and add more (tablespoon or two at a time) baking soda and/or arrowroot.
-If too hard, remelt and add more(tablespoon or two at a time) shea butter and/or coconut oil.
-If seems to irritate sensitive skin, reduce baking soda to a few tablespoons next batch or remelt and add another 1/4 cup each of oil, butter, and wax (..but that would make a large batch of deodorant)
