5. Acts as a Natural Deodorizer
Baking soda could be used as a natural and great alternative to aluminum and parabens containing deodorants. Baking soda absorbs odors and neutralizes the acidic waste products that cause sweat to smell. You can pat baking soda directly onto your armpits or mix it with coconut oil, shea butter, or cornstarch to make a homemade deodorant. While baking soda is effective for many, some people may experience skin irritation due to its alkalinity. It’s best to do a patch test before regular use and adjust the amount accordingly.
