How to Make Natural Homemade Deodorant

Finding the perfect deodorant can be a real challenge. There are so many options, and not all of them work for you. And what’s worst, most of them have extra additives that you may not want in your body. That’s where making homemade natural deodorant comes into play. It is amazing because it allows you to control exactly what you’re putting on your skin – no additives!

The recipes below use all-natural ingredients and oil and will leave you smelling nice and wonderful. The only thing you may have to worry about when using them is they lack antiperspirant properties. But if you switch over to natural homemade deodorants you may find that you actually sweat less, and your pores are clearer. This can also reduce the darkness in your underarms.

Note: These recipes call for essential oils. The oils are optional and are there mostly to help it smell the way you want.
