The Deodorant Dilemma – DIY or not?

I have completely swore off the regular style deodorants! Mainly due to them not working and I become a stink bug in no time, but also since they contain a myriad of things that may make me sick!

Currently I have been using the LUSH deodorant bar – Aromarant. It works brilliantly, and so far 1 stick has lasted me over 3 months and counting!

Though I am considering using a product that I can hand make myself, these are a few recipes I have found on the internet:

How About Orange – How to make your own deodorant

Essential Day Spa – DIY deodorants

Instructables – Deodorant

What kind of deodorant are you using? Have you tried a make your own deodorant and did it work?
Let me know and I can try your recipe out!

    Hi!
    I actually made a deodorant spray using the natural crystal alum dissolved in filtered rainwater and added some essential oils. I sell it on my website – it is not cheap but very effective; quite a few male friends never use anything else and it’s the only deodorant so far to keep ‘teenage sweat’ at bay. 100% natural and long lasting!

    Cheers,
    Judy

      wow! Sounds pretty good if it can keep the dreaded “teenage sweat” away!!! :)

      I have heard good things about natural crystal deodorants!

    Baking soda! Just dust it on, it works well enough although I haven’t really tried it in the heat of summer. As a deo, rather than an antiperspirant of course.

      Does it leave any white marks on your clothing and how on earth do you dust it on up your arm? Wouldn’t it all dust off?
      I will give this a try though!
