A BEAUTY fan shared her simple deodorant alternative that doesn’t contain aluminium.
Her DIY recipe is easy to adjust and all it takes is two ingredients to take it to the next level.
Editor SunnyDGardenGirl shared the money-saving tip in a post.
She explained that most of the aluminum-free deodorants she’s tried haven’t worked for her.
The high-quality alcohol, however, allowed him to eliminate underarm odor without any complications.
“Like Everclear or 100 proof vodka,” she said.
“Just spray it on your underarms and it works surprisingly well.”
She warned others to avoid applying alcohol under their arms if they have just shaved.
“It will hurt if you’ve just shaved, but that’s the only time that’s happened to me,” she said.
Although the alcohol was enough to eliminate the odor, she included two additional ingredients in her recipe to prevent her skin from losing moisture and add a pleasant aroma.
“If you want to get fancy, you can add glycerin for some skin-protective qualities and essential oils for scent,” she said.
Her favorite recipe, she explained, called for a very small amount of alcohol.
“I used to use four oz. [of] Everclear, a teaspoon of glycerin and about 20 drops of essential oils,” she said.
“Choose some deodorants to add more oomph or just what smells good.”
She also revealed her pre-made natural deodorant when she doesn’t feel like going the DIY route.
Her favorite is $14 Little Seed Farm Deodorant Creamwhich comes in seven different scents and an unscented option.

The deodorant in the bathtub, she explained, did wonders for preventing odors.
“I absolutely love Little Seed Farm deodorant,” she said.
“It’s the first natural deodorant I’ve found that actually works and doesn’t smell bad!
“I love it so much and will never use anything else as long as they keep making it.”
While $14 per deodorant was initially difficult to swallow, she explained that a single tube lasted ages.
It’s expensive, but I only use about two jars a year and it’s SO worth it. You can get free samples on the website or order a sample pack to try out several scents before committing.
