BODY CARE: roll-on deodorant with aloe vera

This will allow you to make an effective, 100% natural deodorant in the form of a liquid gel.

This is a recipe that we tested and which has already found quite a few fans. The formula is suitable for both men and women, because it can be personalized with low-dose essential oils, and without danger of irritation.

The recipe for this deodorant is quick and simple to make. It contains very few ingredients: you can easily make it at home and you will know exactly what is in it.

You should know that perspiration (a normal phenomenon) has no odor; but it is its decomposition that smells bad. So a deodorant should not prevent perspiration but prevent the development of bacteria that causes our bad body odor.
