Sorry, wasn't sure best place to put this. Anyone care to review recipe's effectiveness? It seems best ..when one is shaved.
Mama Goode's All Natural Deodorant
3 TBSP of shea butter
3 TBSP baking soda
2 TBSP corn starch
1 tspn jojoba oil or vitamin E oil
1 tspn essential oil of your choice
2 TBSP of coco palm wax or beeswax melted (optional)
Mix all of the ingredients and place in an airtight container. You will have to take a pea size piece and spread under your armpit. Enjoy!
Keep in a cool place.

I just use baking powder and it works great! My underarms are nice and smooth. However, if I'm going to the gym to do a workout where I'll be in close proximity to other people, I'll wear DH's antiperspirant (which is about once a month).

How do you apply the baking soda? I could be picturing this incorrectly but it seems like it could easily get messy.

This is the recipe for home-made natural deodorant that I want to try when I get the time. It sounds totally easy and I have all the ingredients already (though I might sub in tea tree or lavendar oil).

I like that she reused a deodorant container - so I'll keep my next one instead of recycling it.
And yeah - how do you apply plain baking soda without making a mess? With a dedicated make-up brush, perhaps?My new non-farm blog: Finding Freedom

I use a powder applicator. I hold it over the opening of the baking soda, tilt upside down over the sink, shake a few times, tilt back upright. Then pat my underarms
