Homemade Spray Deodorant

Detoxifying a home is not something that can happen overnight, although it sure would be nice to snap our fingers and declare our habitation completely healthy and chemical-free.  Cleaning out the toxins in our home can be overwhelming, and trying to find healthy and effective alternatives to the chemicals upon which we have come to rely is not always easy. 

One of the things I have found difficult to replace is deodorant.  The "healthy" deodorants are often expensive, and in my experience, rarely effective.  I found myself constantly tempted to return to the chemical laden, but cheap and reliable,  deodorants.  That is, until I discovered this recipe.  This deodorant is my very favorite!  Not only is it an easy recipe with very little clean-up, it really does work!

• 4 drops of vegetable glycerin
• 20 drops of Young Living Therapeutic Grade Essential Oil (potential combinations below) 
• 2 oz. Witch Hazel (minus a little to allow room for the other ingredients in your bottle) 
• 2 oz. amber glass bottle.  (You can buy them here)

Potential oil combinations:

• 10 drops of orange
• 7 drops of vetiver
• 3 drops of frankincense   

• 10 drops of Purification
• 10 Lavender

Feel free to experiment with your own scents!  Any oil with bacteria-fighting properties will help keep odor in check.

Fill your spray bottle with all the ingredients and shake before each use.

This deodorant dries well if you fan you arms a couple times.  If you prefer an immediate dry feeling, follow your sprits with this pleasant Dusting Powder.
