Natural Deodorant

Zinc oxide helps fight body odor in two ways: it stops many of these bacteria from growing, and it react with the sulfur compounds so they turn into forms that don’t smell. That means zinc oxide doesn’t just cover up odor—it actually keeps the stink from forming in the first place.


Sage extract adds to the deodorant in several ways. It contains compounds like thujone and rosmarinic acid that slow down the growth of bacteria on your skin, which are the main cause of body odor because they break down sweat into smelly chemicals. Sage also has a mild astringent effect, which can slightly reduce sweat production and help keep you feeling fresh. On top of that, it’s gentle on the skin and adds a pleasant herbal scent, making deodorant both effective and soothing.


Baking Soda is also a useful ingredient, but in tiny amounts. I use the teeniest tiny bit in my recipe, but not much, because it can be very rough on the skin, and I am personally very sensitive to it. Why baking soda works for deo? Bacteria that cause body odor like to live in a slightly acidic environment on the skin. When they break down sweat, they release acids and other smelly compounds that make sweat stink. Baking soda works in deodorant by changing that environment. Because it is alkaline, it raises the skin’s pH, making it less acidic and less comfortable for bacteria to grow. With fewer bacteria around, there are fewer odor-causing reactions happening, which helps keep the skin smelling fresh. But here’s the catch: baking soda is pretty rough on skin because it can change the skin’s natural balance too much. That’s why some people get redness, dryness, or rashes when they use deodorants with a lot of baking soda.
