π‘ Natural Deodorant Tips
Transition Period
Switching from commercial deodorant? Your body may take 2-4 weeks to adjust. This is normal!
Baking Soda Sensitivity
If you experience irritation, try reducing baking soda to 10% or eliminate it entirely. Arrowroot + magnesium hydroxide work great.
Application Tips
Apply to clean, dry skin. For cream types, warm a pea-sized amount between fingers first. Less is more!
Hot Weather
Natural deodorants can melt above 76Β°F. Store in a cool place or refrigerator during summer months.
