Spray Deodorant

This spray deodorant is light, refreshing, and completely non-toxic. It takes just a few minutes to make and keeps you feeling fresh all day. This makes 2 ounces.

Materials

  • 3 tablespoons Everclear grain alcohol
  • 1 tablespoon witch hazel
  • 1 tablespoon distilled water
  • 1/2 teaspoon vegetable glycerin
  • 10 drops essential oils

Instructions

  • Add the essential oils to the alcohol. Stir gently to combine.
  • Pour the mixture into a clean 2-ounce glass spray bottle using a small funnel. Then add in the glycerin and water.
  • Shake gently before each use.

Notes

  • Any essential oils work.
  • Because of the alcohol, this should last around a year.
  • It’s not an antiperspirant so you’ll still sweat, but it should control odor effectively.
  • If you prefer a longer lasting option, you can add a pinch of baking soda or a few drops of magnesium oil (though those can slightly increase irritation for sensitive skin)
  • For very active days or hot weather, you might need to reapply once midday.
