2. Put dry ingredients in another bowl: mix potato flour and baking soda until smooth. Choose powdery soda because it will be easier to blend with other ingredients.

Different Versions of Natural Deodorant – Limitless Possibilities!

To give your DIY deodorant extra properties and lovely smell, you can try the power of essential oils – they will give your deodorant a unique aroma (all the more so when you blend different essential oils). Just remember not to overuse the fragrance substances. Only a few drops are more than enough because essential oils are highly concentrated and may irritate the skin when you use too much.

Which essential oils to pick?

The choice is totally up to you but you need to remember about unique properties of oils. For example, tea tree oil has antiseptic and antibacterial effects while thieves oil (a blend of essential oils) scares bacteria and viruses away (created during the Great Plague). Floral oils like bergamot, jasmine or rose smell like heaven. The fans of fresh aromas will click with vervain, lemon grass and green tea oil.

Note!

Apart from essential oils you can add natural cosmetic clays to give your deodorant nice color and extra conditioning properties. You don’t need to add much: a teaspoon is enough for one deodorant. Enjoy creating your compositions! Let me know about your DIY deodorants in a comment!
