I haven't experimented too much with natural deodorants that you buy in the store, but the one I have tried didn't work too well for me. I have not completely given up my very bad for me anti-persperant(who wants to stink), that is until yesterday. I hate sweating, but it's very natural and good, but the very natural scent just stinks. So, since I really don't want to keep using aluminum in my deodorant and I don't want to smell when I sweet--if I can help it--I finally tried a homemade recipe I found at Lindsay's blog. I am VERY impressed with this simple homemade all natural deodorant.
I halfed the recipe since I wanted to make a smaller portion:
2 TBS baking soda
2 TBS arrowroot powder or cornstarch (i used cornstarch)
2-3 TBS coconut oil
mix together until you get a firm consistancy. I store mine in a small glass jar with a lid (here is a tip: in the condiment asile where they sell oilves and pickles (at least at my Fred Meyer) they sell pimentos in these tiny jars, I think they are like 1 oz. or 2 maybe, but they are perfect for something like this deodorant!! My jar of pimentos was only 1.09 or something. )
I am 100% positive that you will be impressed! I was amazed to go through my day not not smeel. Yes you still sweat but it does not stink! Apply liberally too.
