Tired of conventional deodorants packed with chemicals? Try these natural DIY deodorant alternatives for a healthier and eco-friendly option:
1. Baking Soda Deodorant:
- Mix baking soda with water or combine with cornstarch for added sweat absorption. Apply directly to your underarms for odor control.
2. Lemon Juice:
- Lemon juice's citric acid kills bacteria causing body odor. Swipe a lemon slice under your arms daily, but avoid sun exposure afterward due to phototoxicity.
3. Rubbing Alcohol:
- Fill a spray bottle with rubbing alcohol and spritz your underarms to kill odor-causing bacteria. Add essential oils like lavender or tea tree for fragrance and extra antibacterial power.
4. Coconut Oil Deodorant:
- Combine coconut oil with cornstarch and baking soda to create a creamy deodorant. Mix and store in an airtight container or empty deodorant dispenser.
5. Shea and Cocoa Butter Deodorant:
- Melt shea butter, cocoa butter, baking soda, and cornstarch, then add vitamin E oil and essential oils for fragrance. Pour into a container and refrigerate until set.
6. DIY Solid Deodorant:
- Use candelilla wax, jojoba oil, arrowroot powder, baking soda, and shea butter to create a solid deodorant. Melt ingredients, mix, and pour into deodorant tubes before setting.
7. Apple Cider Vinegar:
- Swipe a cloth soaked in apple cider vinegar onto your armpits for its antibacterial properties. The vinegar smell dissipates as it dries.
8. Detoxifying Bentonite Clay Deodorant:
- Mix bentonite clay, arrowroot powder, kaolin clay, coconut oil, and candelilla wax to create a detoxifying deodorant. Heat, mix, and cool before transferring to a container.
Give these natural alternatives a try to keep feeling fresh without the harmful chemicals. Your skin and the planet will thank you!
