Why is natural deodorant working better than anything else on me

Hello! I’m (29F) pretty sweaty + taking SSRIs. My sweat smells badly and I’ve never found something that works: from antiperspirant to deodorant, nothing stops the sweat and the odor. Until now.

My brother came to visit last week and brought with him a can of natural deodorant his housemate makes, consisting of coconut oil, baking soda and essential oil. He is like me, sweats and smells, and told me that this thing keeps him odorless. I didn’t believe him but I tried it anyways. Well: it works. It doesn’t stop the sweat, obviously, but I smell of nothing!!!!!! I know the ingredients have antibacterial properties, but how does this work better than everything I’ve tried until now????

I need someone to explain this to me. I haven’t changed my hygiene routine apart from the deodorant. I’ve never been a fan of natural cosmetics as I find most people who make them to fearmonger and talk shit about chemichals and I don’t appreciate that.

Anyways, if you’re like me, try this recipe and see if it works wonders in your case too. Thank you all!!!
