Homemade Deodorant for Sensitive Skin

Simple, four-ingredient components for 100% secure, do-it-yourself deodorant that doesn’t sting or burn delicate pores and skin even after shaving.

Unfortunately, the “safe” deodorant manufacturers available on the market have been step by step cheapening their merchandise over time. This pattern appears to have gained momentum since 2020.

Ingredient Substitutions

My private desire for do-it-yourself deodorant formulations is to make use of magnesium hydroxide powder because the energetic ingredient as a substitute of baking soda.

Magnesium hydroxide may be very mild on delicate pores and skin, though it’s barely costlier.

Even in case your pores and skin isn’t significantly delicate, baking soda formulations could burn after you sweat (pH goes too high) or in case you use them proper after shaving.

Another substitution is natural cornstarch for arrowroot powder. This substitution is a barely inexpensive possibility.

I desire mango butter in my deodorant formulation as a result of I discover it non-greasy. Feel free to substitute shea butter or cocoa butter in case you desire!

My favourite essential oils to make use of in do-it-yourself deodorant are vanilla, orange, vanilla orange (half-and-half), or lavender. You may also pass over the non-compulsory essential oil for an unscented components.
