After switching from shampoo to no-shampoo, ie. I use 1 heaping teaspoon backing soda in a glass of warm water and 1 teaspoon cider vinegar in half a cup of water. I was ready to tackle the deodorant.
I have been using deodorants, not anti-perspirants, all my life, but this year I noticed that they did not seem to work as well any longer. That sent me on an Internet search for recipes to make my own. After reading tons of info and searching for what they had in common, I found my recipe and I must say for the past 2 months that I have been using it, I am very happy.

- 2 tablespoon baking soda
- 6 tablespoons cornstarch
Combine and mix well. Works best by shaking in a closed container. Now put in a smaller container.
Apply with powder puff. That's where I ran into a snag, where do you get a powder puff? You make one! I crochet one that's washable and will post the instructions shortly.
Note:
Some recipes call for half baking soda and half cornstarch. I found that the baking soda portion was too strong and left red marks. So try it out and then adjust the blend.
