Question

Hello, Does a person need to pay attention to which perfumes and deodorant they apply to their body during Passover? Is there a mitzvah to buy deodorant that is kosher for Passover? Does such a thing even exist? And if not, what is the correct advice?

Answer

Hello, 

According to the basic law, something that is inedible is permitted to be applied to the body, and there is no obligation for it to be kosher for Passover. 

Some are stringent in ensuring that everything applied to the body is kosher for Passover. However, spray deodorant is not considered an application, and there is no need to be stringent.

Kosher for Passover deodorants can be found in retail chains.
