Also, our body is healthiest when alkaline, but scalp and armpits are naturally acidic areas, which ensure least bacterial growth. Therefore applying only baking soda or washing it with just soap makes the area alkaline therefore, helps breed bacteria and the deodorants only kill the smell caused by bacteria whereas natural agents kill the bacteria itself. Cool chemistry, isn’t it?
