Aluminum has the tendency to accumulate in the brain and interferes with the sweating process of our body. Taking note of this, deodorants would seem to have a more natural effect on us by not disrupting the whole sweating process. But how about the products marketed as both antiperspirant and deodorant? All I can say is that you should choose wisely.
There are other natural ingredients that you can use for underarm sweating. Take for instance, baking soda. It is a home remedy that we can find in our kitchen. Baking soda works wonders by neutralizing sweat's odor. It can save you on many occasions especially when you travel.
Here's a homemade natural deodorant formula:
Combine 1/2 cup of baking soda, 1/2 cup of cornstarch and a few drops of essential oils such as lavender or cinnamon to give it a hint of sweet smell.
Place the ingredients in a glass jar. Blend well by shaking the jar. Sprinkle a light covering of the powder on a damp washcloth. Pat on. Don't rinse.
Homemade Basic Liquid Deodorant
Combine the following ingredients in a spray bottle:
1/4 cup each witch hazel extract, aloe vera gel, and mineral water
1 teaspoon vegetable glycerin
A few drops antibacterial essential oils such as lavender (optional)
Like any natural product in the market, always consider the shelf-life of your homemade deodorant. There is no way of saying when it will expire since it has an indefinite shelf-life. It depends on how preparation was made, the quality of your ingredients and so on.
