Someone poated about using some concotion of oils, and alcohol with a natural powder over it as a deodorant the other day- maybe it was another board? Anyway I just wanted to say that today I used some rosewater (which is rose oil and alcohol and water with some Country Comfort Baby Powder over it, and not only did I not stink at the end of the day (which to be quite frank I usually do with normal deodorant) I didn't even sweat all day- and it wa sa hot one and we were out running around most of the day. So to whoever posted the idea-
THANK YOU!!!

I'm so glad to read about this! I was wondering if there were any other options! I had tried some other type of natural rock/mineral deodorant once and everytime I saw my Mom, I asked her if she could tell, she told me I smelled!! I couldn't stand being stinky so I went back to regular deodorant again, but I hate using it. I'm going to give the rosewater and powder a try. Thank you so much for posting about this!

I wanted to try this too but I couldn't figure out where to buy rosewater. Where did you all get yours? And Lala, was it you who had a recipe on here to make your powder using clay? My memory's been really cruddy since I gave up .

I think it's the combo- the alcohol from the rosewater helps to evaporate the sweat and the powder absorbs it and they both smell nice. On hot days I put them on a couple times, but I think it is still better than the regular stuff.

I tried it today, except I didn't use any alcohol--just lavender water I made with essenial oil and water--and the powder we've got--which, coincidentally, happens to be Country Comfort . I just checked and I'm still smellin' pretty fresh! The funniest part is that ds (17 months) actually sat up and sniffed my pits when we woke up from our nap.

that is too funny!
:LOL

I think the original recipe I posted was in the crafts forum!

I got some rosewater for $1.65 at my local indian food shop/store!
Bargain!

And I make my own with essential oils too...
