Personal hygiene and body care are important aspects of maintaining individual health and self-confidence. One of the common problems experienced by the community is body odor caused by bacterial activity in sweat, particularly in the underarm area. Deodorants are widely used as a practical solution; however, commercial products may not be suitable for individuals with sensitive skin and can be relatively expensive. A natural spray deodorant containing ingredients such as alum, aloe vera, rose water, and essential oils may serve as a safer, more affordable, and easily prepared alternative. Nevertheless, limited public knowledge regarding the appropriate composition, ingredient proportions, mixing techniques, and hygienic procedures may affect the quality and safety of the resulting product. Therefore, this study aims to determine the effectiveness of socialization activities on the preparation of natural spray deodorant in improving participants' knowledge and skills. The socialization was conducted systematically through the delivery of educational materials and hands-on practice in preparing spray deodorant, with emphasis on ingredient composition, mixing techniques, and hygiene during the preparation process. This activity is expected to enhance participants' understanding and practical skills while encouraging independence and creativity in utilizing natural ingredients as safe and affordable personal care products
