All these years later I've spent money on deodorant. Lots of money on deodorant that is natural, free of aluminum and allows my body to sweat in a natural way. Deodorant that offers fairly short term relief of odor. The pay-off of using deodorant that is mediocre in preventing smell is being free from fear of the build up of neurotoxicity from the use of aluminum chloride. This felt like a reasonable trade to me.
I've tried crystals, expensive herbal products, not so expensive roll-ons. Then finally I discovered this product by Weleda, it is alcohol based and the best part is it's a spray so there's no cross contamination from rolling something on to my stinky pits. It smells just like a gin & tonic and works so great! However at $15 every 6 months, not to mention it's difficulty to locate I felt like I needed to research making my own. And would you know the answer was in my liquor cabinet this whole time?
Reusing my spray bottle I filled it with 100 proof vodka. I then added 10-20 drops off tangerine essential oil and shook vigorously. Voila! I no longer stink and I have an inexpensive, homemade solution to deodorant!
