Easy, four-ingredient method for 100% protected, home made deodorant that doesn’t sting or burn delicate pores and skin even after shaving.
Deodorant is a kind of private care objects that MUST be 100% protected. Each single ingredient must be unhazardous because of its each day use very near the lymph nodes within the armpits in addition to delicate breast tissue.
Sadly, the “protected” deodorant manufacturers in the marketplace have been progressively cheapening their merchandise over time. This pattern appears to have gained momentum since 2020.

Ingredient Substitutions
My private desire for home made deodorant formulations is to make use of magnesium hydroxide powder because the lively ingredient as a substitute of baking soda.
Magnesium hydroxide may be very light on delicate pores and skin, though it’s barely dearer.
Even when your pores and skin isn’t significantly delicate, baking soda formulations could burn after you sweat (pH goes too excessive) or should you use them proper after shaving.
One other substitution is natural cornstarch for arrowroot powder. This substitution is a barely inexpensive choice.
I desire mango butter in my deodorant formulation as a result of I discover it non-greasy. Be happy to substitute shea butter or cocoa butter should you desire!
My favourite important oils to make use of in home made deodorant are vanilla, orange, vanilla orange (half-and-half), or lavender. It’s also possible to omit the non-compulsory important oil for an unscented method.
