What Makes Himalayan Salt Good for Deodorant?

Below are a few reasons why Himalayan salt is good for use in a deodorant:

► Minerals – Himalayan salt is super rich in minerals that nourish the skin and help it detox. They include magnesium, potassium, sodium and more.

► Antibacterial – It kills off bacteria and germs that are the number one cause of bad body odor. When we sweat, it doesn’t stink but when the bacteria on skin mix up with the sweat is when the BO comes in full blast.

► Neutralizes bad body odor – Salt absorbs the bad odor and neutralizes it.

► Fresh clean skin – Himalayan salt also soaks up excess sebum and sweat on the skin, keeping it fresh and clean.

DIY Himalayan Salt Deodorant – 2 Recipes

Below, I’ve listed two great DIY Himalayan salt deodorant recipes: one is a roll-on recipe and the other is a spray. I’d use the roll-on for winter and the spray for summer. But it’s all up to you! Choose whichever tickles your fancy!

1. DIY Roll-On Himalayan Salt Deodorant

• 1 tsp Himalayan pink salt (where to get it)
• 5 drops rosemary oil (where to get it)
• 5 drops peppermint oil (where to get it)

4. Roll onto clean and dry underarms.

2. DIY Himalayan Salt Deodorant Spray Recipe

• 2 tsp fine Himalayan pink salt (where to get it)
• 1 oz witch hazel (where to get it)

1. Heat the distilled water until very warm.
2. Then dissolve the Himalayan sea salt and baking soda in it.
