How to Make Your Own Deodorant
Things You’ll Need:
- A container
- Baking Soda
- Corn Starch
- Mint or Bay Leaves
- Rubbing Alcohol
- Essential oil or fragrance
Dry Deodorant #1
Plain baking soda works wonders because it neutralizes odors. If it can neutralize the odor of a cat litter box, imagine what it will do for your underarms.
Fill a small shaker container or tin and just sprinkle a light covering of baking soda onto a damp washcloth. Pat on. Don’t rinse. For a fragranced deodorant powder, add a few mint or bay leaves to the tin.

Combine the following in a plastic zipper bag,
1/2 cup baking soda
1/2 cup cornstarch
a few mint or bay leaves
Shake well and pour into a tin with a lid.
To use: apply with dry washcloth & dust on. Alternately reuse an empty spice jar and sprinkle onto damp armpit. For unscented deodorant, omit the bay or mint leaves.
