DIY Natural Deodorant
This zero-waste deodorant is honestly life-changing, I kid you not. No more body odour and best of all, no aerosols, packaging or nasty chemicals. It costs practically nothing to make and can be whipped up in 2 minutes flat. It really is that amazing.
Tried and tested in the Australian summer, it’s a winner and while you will still perspire, you will not smell. I learned the recipe when I attended the Earth Carers course and I hope you enjoy it as much as we do!
