The advantage of a powder deodorant is that it has a longer shelf life. However, it can leave a mark on skin, which may not be ideal especially when wearing dark clothing.

Ingredients:

•1/3 cup baking soda (approx. 78.8ml)
•1/2 cup cornstarch (approx. 118.2ml)
•3 drops lavender essential oil
•2 drops rosemary essential oil

Combine the ingredients in a glass jar and shake well to blend. Sprinkle powder on a slightly damp washcloth and pat on.

Or..


Liquid deodorants feel refreshing on the skin and unlike powders do not mark the skin. As there are no preservatives, the spray is likely to last up to four weeks. Keep refrigerated to prolong the shelf life.

Ingredients:

•1/4 cup witch hazel extract
•1/4 cup aloe vera gel
•1/4 cup mineral water
•1 teaspoon vegetable glycerin
•3 drops lavender essential oil
•2 drops patchouli essential oil
Combine the ingredients in a spray bottle and shake to blend.

Hi Dazzler,

You are full of great tips I like it, I work at Cedar Falls Health Farm so really like things like this. Does this actually stop you sweating or does it just help with the odour? Bet it smells a lot better the chemicals you get in most products! At Cedar falls we have a product unique to us called Bespoke Remedies, where we sell products such as deodrant, body lotions and creams which are all made from natural products and also made to taylor each individual, you should take a look I think you will like the products. Do you sell any products?
