My husband showed me a couple weeks ago what he's been using instead of deodorant. He mixes a few drops of tea tree oil with a dollop of real aloe vera gel. I tried it with TTO once, but the smell was overpowering. I'm using lime essential oil. So far, so good. And if I make too much, I just smooth it around my elbows and knees. Smells nice.

Why, yes! I am happy! How did you know?

I just made my homemade deodorant and so far it's working well for me. I used arrowroot powder, baking soda, and coconut oil. I still sweat of course, but it's odorless and lasts longer than I expected even when I sweat profusely. Here is a link to my deodorant recipe and the ingredients I used. I even started making other recipes with the same natural ingredients, because lately my skin sensitivities have increased or changed and my skin has been reacting to commercial products, so I had to go the natural route.

I'm using milk of magnesia- 4 days now and it's working well. My alum crystal stopped working as it used to. Too many days where it fails now.

Re: Natural Deodorant 2
I tried toms of maine and it failed me, too. I am almost fed up with these damn deodorants failing on me. I am using coconut oil, but it requires reapplication at least once.
Lime juice from a bottle was best, but it burns now. Same with alum crystal and baking soda. So I will try iso alcohol or apply some lemon essential oil before my coconut oil.

Re: Natural Deodorant 2
