This looks like a good recipe- I use Tom’s of Maine, but when it runs out I believe I will be trying this.
I HATE having even slightly damp under-arms, but here is something that works: apply a light layer of stick deodorant, then a layer of powder deodorant with a good powder puff. Cornstarch and baking soda works extremely well for this. Using the puff, lightly dust off all the loose powder, so only the part that adheres to the stick deodorant remains. You can refresh the powder throughout the day if you’re wearing a shirt with tight underarms or doing something really strenuous.

My husband has been using this for about 2 months and I think it works better than his old deodorant. He goes to the gym during the day and trusts this enough to use it. He doesn’t have any kind of BO at all by the end of the day, where he used to have just a little. As soon as mine is gone, I’ll be making a lavender version for myself. Another successful product, with no yucky chemicals in it! And CHEAP!

mina–Maybe make it much stiffer. I’ve never had a stain issue. Wait, what color are the stains…white or oil? I was advising you if it was oil. If it’s the right consistency and applied lighty…it’s invisible.

I’ve tried this deodorant and I confirm: it works well as far as smell is concerned but unfortunately it does leave stains on shirts. I’ve tried hard to get rid of those stains, but unfortunately the marks are still there.

I think that I’d like to try this recipe, but one question:
Doesn’t using coconut oil cause you to get oil stains on the underarms of your garments? Even if it’s solid at room temp, it’s still oil, right? does it get de-natured or something by adding it to the baking soda/corn starch mixture? I like using the totally natural products, but don’t want oily stains.
I’ll be checking with you!

I have tried so many natural deodorant and none of them have ever worked. The crystal stick worked for a bit but then stopped being so effective so I went back to aluminum deodorants. Anyway, I don’t like the idea of all those chemicals so I decided to try this and I am totally impressed! I’ve been using it for a month and I’ve never noticed it wearing off throughout the day. I changed the recipe a bit (added shea butter and used eucalyptus and clary sage oil). Thanks for posting!
