It all started with reading the labels of commercial deodorants. And I was shocked. Those products we bought for years had high amount of chemicals. Although some of them are safe, most of those ingredients are highly toxic.

For example, paraben can be the number one toxic material you can find in a commercial deodorant. Paraben is a popular preservative in the cosmetic industry. This ingredient helps to increase the shelf-life of products. But at what cost?

What is more most of the commercial deodorants have talc. And it is a carcinogen ingredient. Talc contains asbestiform fibres which makes this additive our number one enemy. The list goes on and on. To avoid such troubles, I decided to work on my healthy and organic homemade citrus deodorant recipe. Below, I will give you

ingredients and preparation steps of my amazing new homemade citrus deodorant recipe.
