Natural Deodorant
Choosing a natural deodorant is as important as any of your skincare.Your skin is the largest organ of your body, and so it makes sense that your natural skincare is not just about your face and body. Not everyone likes the idea of using a deodorant on their body, but there are many times, in our modern society, when it is desirable to keep your body odor in check. Under your arms is the most common place where odors can build up. The first line of defense is to keep this area really clean with a good scrub with soap and water on a regular basis. If you find you need additional help keeping fresh smelling, then try making this recipe below.

Crystal Stone
This is a great natural product that I have used for a long time.It is not the only product I use as I like to have more protection from perspiration and body odour if I am exercising with others around! But it is very effective for an "average" work day when I am just out and about, or at home. It is made from natural mineral salts and has no perfumes and chemicals, and takes absolutely months to wear down - so it is very cost effective too!
Bergamot for Natural Protection
Here is another simple recipe to try.Bergamot Essential Oil can also be used as a natural deodorant.
As it has antiseptic properties, it can be used to kill the bacteria responsible for body odor. WHAT YOU NEED: Bergamot Essential Oil1/2 cup Cornstarch or Arrowroot PowderORWitchhazel solutionWHAT TO DO: Add about 30 drops of Bergamot Essential Oil to the powder.
ORAdd about 10 drops of Bergamot for every 1oz of Witchazel solution.

WHAT IS NOT IN THE NATURAL DEODORANTS:
- There are no synthetic chemicals, aluminium chlorohydrate or heavy metal based ingredients such as ammonium aluminum sulfate, potassium alum, potassium aluminum sulfate.
- There are no parabens or alcohol based preservatives.WHY ARE THEY SO EFFECTIVE?
- Natural ingredients including baking soda and maize starch which have been blended with naturally antiseptic plant oils and extracts so they have a drying and antibacterial action.
- They have been tested on volunteers in various conditions - sports events, males, females, every day office work, hot summer and winter situations.
- The ingredients kill the bacteria which create the unpleasant aroma and the other ingredients absorb excess sweat.
- Aloe and coconut based skin softeners are also included so they can be used straight after shaving. WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN AN ANTIPERSPIRANT AND A DEODORANT?
- Antiperspirants work by blocking the sweat glands, and this can only be achieved with using minerals such as aluminium based ingredients.
- Deodorants do not stop sweating - rather they mask or neutralise odours produced due to the activity of the bacteria on the skin.
- This is one of the most hotly discussed topics in the natural personal care markets. The risks associated with antiperspirants are well documented, with some links to breast and lymph cancers along with Alzheimers Disease, being the two most well known concerns.
