Smile homemade deodrants

Homemade deodorants - Natural Deodorants which can be made in your home

A quick look at the history of deodorants and perfumes reveals that personal hygiene arrived later than the fragrance of personal objects, such as gloves, bed linens, and clothes. Indeed, until modern sanitary ware was invented, washing was considered a bit of a nuisance rather than the daily necessity we now take for granted.

This means that deodorants and perfumes were used to mask body odors, which is still the role of deodorants today. However, by using the following homemade deodorants, you are only applying natural, plant-based ingredients to your body. These work in harmony with your skin and body, keeping you naturally fresh and clean
Geranium and Cypress Deodorant

This is a classic combination of essential oils with deodorant properties. Geranium is used in skin-care products for its delightful, sweet floral perfume and its astringent and antiseptic properties. Cypress helps reduce excessive sweating, and its fine, woody smell enhances this deodorant. The classic fragrance is deeply refreshing with hints of floral, citrus, and wood, and is suitable for both women and men.
Ingredients that use in this deodorant.

1 tsp high proof vodka
10 drops geranium
10 drops cypress
8 drops bergamot
5 drops neroli
4 drops lavender
3 drops black pepper
4 tb sp (40 ml) witch hazel
2 tb sp (25 ml) cornflower water
2 tb sp (25 ml) orange flower water

1. Measure the vodka into a 4 oz (100 ml) glass bottle with a spray attachment. Carefully add the essential oils, one by one. Shake vigorously to dissolve the essential oils.
2. Pour the witch hazel into the bottle, using a funnel if necessary, followed by the two flower waters. Shake well.
3. Label the bottle and the deodorant is now ready to use .
4. Before you use the deodorant each time, give the bottle a good shake to ensure the essential oils are fully dispersed

Citrus and Herbal Deodorant

This gentle, antibacterial deodorant uses some of the most effective deodorant essential oils, including bergamot, thyme, and clary sage. Blended with flower waters and witch hazel into a refreshing spray, this deodorant has a delicious, refreshing aroma that is suitable for both women and men.
Ingredients that use in this deodorant.

1 tsp high proof vodka
10 drops bergamot
8 drops clary sage
7 drops thyme
5 drops rosewood
5 drops lemon
3 drops lavender
2 drops mandarin
4 tb sp (40 ml) witch hazel
2 tb sp (25 ml) linden flower water
2 tb sp (25 ml) orange flower water

Smile Homemade Deodorant

Hello everyone. It's been a while since I last posted anything.
Does anyone know of a homemade deodorant that is good for
adults as well as children to use that doesn't involve BAKING SODA
as an ingredient?

Also baby powder works well as a deodorant

wash with soap. Dry arm pits. Then wet armpits with vineagar, white preferably.
Armpits smell due to bacteria- ( I think they release sulfur) that can live in a high salt concentration type of enviornment.
Vineagar is acidic and kills the bacteria.
I used to do this when I was broke in college studying bacteria. lol!

Caution: If your skin is sensitive, be careful with shaving and vineagar deodorant.

Alum powder is very effective and never cause dark armpits. It can be also used as foot deodorant by rubbing some powder within your feet especially in-between toes.
