I’ve been making my own deodorant for quite awhile now. I really like it. And it works! No odor, of course, it’s not an anti-perspirant, so it won’t stop you from sweating. Here’s the recipe I use:
1/2 c baking soda
1/2 c cornstarch
antibacterial essential oil, such as lavender
I use about 8-10 drops of lavender. What can I say? I like lavender. lol But if you get any irration, try using less eo.
I got the recipe from another blog She recommends a book with lots of natural beauty products you can make. And a search of Amazon shows a few books on the subject. But I haven’t bought any, so I can’t recommend any. I do like this deodorant, though. It make a great body powder, also.
I keep mine in the bowl above. My mother gave it to me, it belonged to her mother. They didn’t keep their deodorant in it, though. lol
