Hi everyone! I've searched high and low for a natural deodorant that I like. I've used many brands from the store, and also online. Some are better than others, and with skepticism I tried doTERRA's deodorant line. I was pleasantly surprised! It worked great, and it was something I felt good about having my family use as well.
Here is why I like it compared to others:
- Doesn't have an overpowering smell
- Doesn't have aluminum (which is the biggest ingredient I was trying to avoid)
- Wasn't harsh or irritating
- May leave you damp (sweat is good and natural), but not stinky (the oils kills the bacteria)
- I also liked the texture (didn't fall apart, or feel "melty")
Here is a little more information, and also a link if you would like to explore for yourself! https://www.doterra.com/US/en/p/natural-deodorant-with-doterra-balance

ReplyDeleteAdd bicarbonate (baking soda) and should you wish, any fragrance you like.
Pour into container and let it cool down.
Cheap, natural & effective.
@Unknown: Thanks for this. I tried doing something similar, and the baking soda was really harsh on my armpits (made them sore). I might suggest using arrowroot instead if you do have a breakout. The essential oils are good because they are antiviral and antibacterial (to eliminate odor). This recipe may work. Thanks!
