I’m so thankful to have found your blog and I must admit I am LOVING every bit of it, thank you! I’ve been searching for a natural deodorant/antipersperant but haven’t found anything I liked that can stand up tp my fairly active lifestlye of hot yoga, running, workout. Thoughts? Suggestions? (Maybe your future blogpost?!) Keep doing what you do, Thank you! xoxo
Hi Joanna! You’ve made my day – I’m so happy to hear it! Ah… deodorant. Ha! I have tried every recipe under the sun. I’ve tried many natural brands too and I totally feel you. So much of it is our own body chemistry too, sometimes a deodorant works until I get stressed or they work for a while, but then one day it just doesn’t at all… has that happened to you?
Recently in Bali, I started using a natural formulation which did work well enough where I wasn’t embarrassed to hug my friends hello 🙂 The recipe was simple, aloe gel and essential oils – lemongrass and lavender. Essential oils are antibacterial, so the idea being that it reduces odor producing bacteria. Of course it doesn’t keep you dry, but when I’ve used baking soda based deodorants, it’s given me a bit of a rash and irritation. Which is common for some people.
The story is – I’m still testing and looking. But I do think that essential oils can be a very effective deodorizer. You can create a balm, using shea and cacao butter with essential oils. You might add arrowroot powder to help with staying dry.
But, yes = I’m totally inspired to put all this together and share recipes for deodorant! Thanks so much for writing in! Xx
