Our Theories About Natural Deodorant

"Pooh, you stink!"  This has been a frequently repeated phrase in our house, as we did not find the store-bought deodorant to be effective. This is probably because we live in the deserts of Saudi Arabia during a part of the year. As a result, my mother took our deodorant business into her hands.

Our family has always been quite healthy and tried to do everything naturally, including toothpaste, deodorant,  and beauty care. 

Our mother made our deodorant once we got old enough to be stinky. Her first deodorant was made of coconut oil, baking soda, constarch, and essential oils of tea tree and lavender. It was not too effective, but not ineffective. She improved it and changed her recipe over the years, until we had an effective deodorant.

We were fine with that, until we started smelling more. Then my mother tried different things, and in the end, found out that we had wasted quite a bit of money on ineffective deodorant! We started using baking soda, just sprinkling it over! It was very easy and effective.

We hope that this helped! Try baking soda!
