This rose and lavender spray deodorant recipe will make you smell like a flower, even when you are sweating it out in the garden! Made with gentle, all-natural ingredients that work hard and protect your health.

I could tell you all about this all natural spray deodorant made with plant-based ingredients that are good for your skin. I could go on and on about how it is packed with the skin soothing benefits of aloe, witch hazel, lavender, and rose. I could rave about it containing no harmful chemicals that can cause disease and impair your body’s natural functions. Or I could tell you that that it smells just like a floral garden in the summer.

But you don’t care about that, right?!

You just want to know if it works!

Formulating Natural Spray Deodorant Recipes

I started formulating spray deodorants after sharing a room with my friend Crystal (the creative genius and my mom-spiration from Hello Creative Family) who used a deodorant spray she customized at an essential oils workshop. The combination of fragrances she used smelled like a bakery: clove, cinnamon, and vanilla. YUM. I tried it out and boy-oh-boy did it ever work! But using hot oils like clove and cinnamon caused my sensitive skin to have a reaction. Nothing terrible, but I wondered if I could make a recipe that worked just as well, but was calming for skin at the same time.

I made a few different variations of simple spray base and tested some combinations of essential oils until I found one that was soothing, nice-smelling, and does the job. Rose and lavender for the win! It’s pretty, floral, and more than anything else, it works.

The Testing Process

I’ve tested it now for a year on myself, my family, and anyone else who will agree to it. After testing it in the all four seasons in Vancouver went well, I needed to turn up the volume a bit so I took it to southern Mexico and I had some surprising results. It worked just as well as it had at home, but I also ended up using it on my face and skin to sooth and cool down my freckly, over-sunned skin. And I learned that it works great on clothes too. It not only prevents any odor for my underarms but I was also able to use it on my clothes when they needed a bit of freshening up.

All-Natural Rose and Lavender Spray Deodorant Recipe

This recipe is not only good for your skin, but also the planet. I’m big on reducing the amount of packaging I use and I love glass or stainless steel bottles that can be reused. Here are some pretty blue glass ones that I use.

Ingredients

• 15 ml aloe vera gel
• 15 ml lavender hydrosol
• 45 ml rose water
• 30 ml rose witch hazel
• 2 drops rose absolute essential oil
• 3 drops lavender essential oil

Make it!

Measure all of the ingredients and add them to a fine mist spray bottle. Shake well to combine and spray on underarm area after showering or when your underarms need freshening up. Shake well before each use.
