Making a natural roll-on deodorant is simple and allows you to control the ingredients. Here's a step-by-step guide:

DIY Natural Roll-On Deodorant Recipe

This recipe uses magnesium chloride flakes and witch hazel as a base, with essential oils for fragrance and added benefits.

Ingredients:

  • 1/2 tbsp Magnesium Chloride Flakes
  • Pinch of Sea Salt
  • 1 tbsp Warm Distilled Water or Boiled Tap Water
  • 50ml Witch Hazel
  • Essential Oils (e.g., 12 drops each of Lavender, Ylang Ylang, Bergamot, and Grapefruit)

Instructions:

  1. Dissolve Magnesium Chloride and Salt: In a small bowl, dissolve the magnesium chloride flakes and sea salt in the warm distilled water. Stir until completely dissolved.

  2. Combine Ingredients: In a separate container (preferably one with a pour spout), add the witch hazel. Then, pour the magnesium chloride and salt solution into the witch hazel.

  3. Add Essential Oils: Add your chosen essential oils to the mixture. Adjust the amount and type of oils to suit your preference and skin sensitivity.

  4. Mix Well: Gently stir all the ingredients together to ensure they are thoroughly combined.

  5. Transfer to Roll-On Bottle: Carefully pour the mixture into a clean, empty roll-on bottle.

  6. Shake Before Use: Shake the roll-on deodorant well before each application.

Notes:

  • Magnesium Chloride: Acts as a natural deodorant and can help reduce body odor.
  • Witch Hazel: Acts as an astringent and helps to tighten pores.
  • Essential Oils: Provide fragrance and can offer additional benefits like antibacterial or soothing properties. Choose oils that are safe for topical use.
  • Storage: Store the roll-on deodorant in a cool, dark place.
  • Sensitivity: Always test a small amount on your skin before using it regularly to check for any adverse reactions. Adjust essential oil concentration as needed.
