New cheap homemade deodorant!

[LeahBoo]

I tried baking soda a while ago, worked but made the skin break out. Someone suggested mixing with cornstarch and that did the trick. Kinda hard to use though.

Then the other day, I found the pump from a crystal deodorant spray I used to use and had an idea. I put about a teaspoon of baking soda in it and filled it up with hot water.

It works!

that's a good idea! i'm having a heck of a time getting the consistency right with my deodorant & it seems to crumble too easy (but works great). you could also add a little tea tree oil to it. it's an antiseptic and will kill bacteria, plus in small quantities, it can smell nice i'll have to try this! thanks.
