deodorant. dee

That is what I was wondering. I believe the baking soda is not as
pure as they say it it because why would it work and all of a

rash and try later on, it will work that time. Sounds funny, huh?
The skin normally maintains an acid pH to prevent unfriendly
bacteria growth. If you use baking soda, it will take the pH
alkaline, which will allow unfriendly bacteria to grow, and those
can cause a rash. Stop the soda, the skin goes back acid and kills
the bacteria, and all is well again. Use of the soda after that
causes no problem until an unfriendly bacteria can repopulate again.
