Homemade Deodorant
If you’re feeling ambitious, you can even make your own deodorant. Choose essential oils that aren’t tested on animals, like those from Aura Cacia and ECO. Modern Essentials. Some people are sensitive to essential oils, so always do a small test on your skin and wait for 24 hours to see whether you have an adverse reaction before applying any of these oils liberally.
On a small saucer, mix the following oils together. Once combined, apply a thin layer of the mixture under your arms until it’s completely rubbed in.
- 6 drops of jojoba oil
- 2 drops of essential lavender oil
- 1 drop of essential rose oil
- 1 drop of essential vanilla oil
