Because of its excellent odor-absorbing properties, deodorant is another product that often contains baking soda. This is the same reason why some people keep an open pack of the product in their toilets or freezers. It works because of its antibacterial properties. Did you know that human sweat has no odor? It doesn't smell until the bacteria on our skin start breaking it down into acidic waste. Although this process isn't completely stopped by baking soda, it does make the final product significantly less acidic and fragrant. In a pinch, try using it as a natural deodorant by patting it on your armpits.
