How to Make Natural Deodorant Recipe: 3 Ways to Make Your own Natural Deodorant at Home
Banging out a set of burpees, commuting on a crowded train, or piping out a presentation — it all sounds like a recipe for potential underarm gush. And while traditional deodorants and antiperspirants are designed to tamp down body odor and moisture, the ingredients used could be harmful, and even make your pits smell worse in the long run.
They can even change the pH balance to make your pits bacteria-friendly sweat saunas.
That’s why we’ve got the deets on natural deodorants and even how to make your own.
The science behind BO sounds a bit repellent: Like a petri dish from middle school, our underarms create a warm hangout for bacteria. And when we perspire, these guys basically eat our moisture. The waste generated from their snacking is what creates the odor we associate with sweat.
While deodorants and antiperspirants do different things, many pit sticks you see on shelves are actually deodorant-antiperspirant combos. Traditional deodorants use antimicrobial agents or ethanol to slay the bacteria. Antiperspirants, on the other hand, use aluminum-based salts to plug up the sweat glands so that those armpit bugs can’t chow down and create a stink.
Corynebacterium is common bacteria that set up house in the armpit, along with Staphylococcus, Propionibacterium, and Micrococcus. Your skin is supposed to have a normal level of bacteria. Like your gut, some of these are good bacteria. But using antiperspirants can lead to the growth or introduction of new and different bacteria — ones that are even smellier than before.
Antiperspirants mostly are based on aluminum compounds that can cause neurological problems as a result of the closure of the sweat glands.
But the interesting thing is that sweat does not smell itself. Body odor comes from the bacteria that feed on our sweat. If we stop these bacteria, your body will be fresh daily.
The healthy shops sell natural deodorant. You may notice that they often contain soda, tea, or other natural essential oils, potassium, and aluminum salt, which do not have the same effect as aluminum compounds, in particular aluminum chloride used in conventional antiperspirants. All of the above are effective and natural inhibitors of bacteria, but oils add a pleasant aroma (unlike synthetic fragrances).

Why do our pits smell and how does deodorant work?

Maybe that sounds great to you — a double whammy to bacteria. Not so fast. A 2016 study shows that these traditional products alter your skin’s ecosystem, and maybe not for the better. You could be unwittingly intensifying your body odor while reducing your immune system. Study participants who didn’t use pit products had Corynebacterium hanging out in their underarms. This bacterium produces BO, but it also gives us a boost against infections.
