I currently make my own deodorant and use similar ingredients to this. Baking soda can cause some people to break out or have an irritation in their armpits. I have to reduce the amount of baking soda in my deodorant significantly to avoid irritation and I still sometimes have issues and have to go a day or two without any so my armpits can heal. Just a heads up to those who give this a try. Anyone have any other tips to avoid the baking soda irritation?
any body try this.??
I have it. Doesn’t work that great but smells nice.
thank you
