Easy Deodorant Spray

Commercial deodorants contain harmful ingredients that are devastating to your health. Many contain aluminum that damages the brain, and synthetic estrogen that has been linked to cancer. With a few ingredients like essential oils, witch hazel, herbal infusions, and apple cider vinegar, you can make your own deodorants. The best of all is that you can use the ingredients for many other homemade body care products as well.
