They say that the key to making friends is the lack of bad body smell. Sadly, most of the time, daily personal hygiene is not enough to keep your friends close and your odor away. So, we opt for antiperspirants, deodorants, and other body sprays to solve the problem. However, what we don’t or rarely have in mind while shopping for these products is how rich they are in chemicals that not only don’t get the job done right but may also harm your skin. So, what’s the real solution?
Since the awareness of consuming organic body products has raised, people have been producing creams, perfumes, and body deodorants made only from natural ingredients. This way, they will make sure they smell nice without worrying about potential side-effects to their skin. And the best part is, it’s not that hard to make them. All you need are some natural ingredients and your kitchen.
The only problem left to solve is – what ingredients to use? This is where we step in to help you. We’ve put together the best 10 recipes for creamy deodorants for you to gain insight into what to use and how to make them.
Your job is to pick your favorite and say goodbye to the store-bought deodorants once and for all.
Homemade Deodorant For Sensitive Skin
