The difference between an antiperspirant and a deodorant is an antiperspirant will clog and close the pores, stopping the sweat process, whereas a deodorant will deal with the odour sweat, neutralising smells and act as an antiseptic against bacteria.

I have therefore only concerntrated on deodorans and will not mention homemade antiperspirants, although recipes are available.

A Basic Deodorant Powder
1/2 cup baking soda
1/2 cup cornstarch
A few drops essential oils such as lavender or cinnamon

Place the ingredients in a glass jar. Shake to blend. Sprinkle a light covering of the powder on a damp washcloth. Pat on. Don’t rinse.

A Basic Liquid Deodorant
1/4 cup witch hazel extract
1/4 cup aloe vera gel
1/4 cup mineral water
1 teaspoon vegetable glycerin
A few drops antibacterial essential oils such as lavender (optional)

Combine the ingredients in a spray bottle. Shake to blend. This will make approxmately 3/4 of a cup, and will last indefinite.
