An important note about Antiperspirants- while they are okay for occasional use it is not considered healthy to use them Daily as anything that blocks the bodies ability to perspire is not particularly healthy! This is a simple recipe to make and use for those “little black dress” occasions where you don’t want them to “see you sweat”!

For daily use we recommend our “NO Secret” Deodorant.
This is a pretty simple recipe, all you need is:

1 cup water
1 1/2 tsp alum powder
1/4 cup vodka

Mix all ingredients and stir well until the alum is dissolved. Pour into a spray bottle or clean container. To use, spray on the body, or apply using cotton pads

Alum can be found in the seasoning/spice section of any major grocery store, or it can be purchased online at places such as Amazon. Wondering– What is Alum? Check out this link for more info.

Why make your own antiperspirant?

Many commercial deodorants contain Aluminium zirconium tetrachlorohydrex glywhich is VASTLY different from EDIBLE Alum, which is frequently found in pickles, baking powder, etc.
