No one likes to be stinky, and around here being stinky is very easy when we’re working up a sweat doing farm chores. Enter, deodorant. I wear it every day because I have to.
I switched to the natural kind years ago to avoid all the nasty chemicals that the big brands are loaded with, but the problem is that the natural kind doesn’t work nearly as well, and it’s more expensive!
But what can you do? Surely making an effective deodorant yourself would be pretty hard to do, right? WRONG! Sayward figured it out and shared her recipe on her blog recently. WOOHOO! Girl, you rock.
This is awesome, looking forward to trying it! Do you have any suggestions for all natural face wash/face lotion?
Hi Tonia! So, I read this post a while back and was inspired to make my own deodorant from Sayward’s recipe. It worked well for about 3 weeks, but then I developed an itchy rash around my pits! I’m pretty sure it’s not the essential oils I used, since I’ve used ‘em all before. Anyone else had this problem?
Oh no, Kendra! I’m sorry to hear that. I personally don’t have any problem using this recipe…perhaps leave a message for Sayward and hopefully she’ll have some insight into what may be causing the reaction. :\
