It was not liquid or solid. Any suggestions?

It doesn’t irritate. It doesn’t stain. It lasts all day. I now make it for almost everyone I know. This is really the best recipe out there for homemade deodorant.

By all means, keep it in if it works for you but for those who are looking for an alternative, they can just omit it. You can add a TB of beeswax and more essential oil drops as well. I do and then put it in a deodorant container, swipe my armpits with it, but then rub it in with a finger just to make sure I got good coverage.
For those looking to reduce sweat, lemongrass is supposed to reduce excessive sweating. I add it to the batch I make for my 13-year old son and with a couple more oils, it smells really good! I

So glad you like it, Mandy! It is strange spreading it on like lotion, but I have gotten used to it. Let us know how the beeswax works out!

Thank you so much for the recipe! I’m going to try adding beeswax though because as much as I love this deodorant spreading it on with my hand is still so strange.

This is because bentonite clay has a strong negative electromagnetic charge, and when activated by water, it acts like a magnet in and on our bodies, pulling metals and toxins to it. It also has an affect on the body’s pH and provides the body with some vital minerals at the same time.

Your Dr actually told you NOT to worry about congested lymph glands?! Wow, your doc def needs to be educated. Lymph congestion (caused by the nasty ingredients such as alumin in ordinary antiperspirant) is serious, as those of us searching for safe alternatives, know. I’m glad to know you didn’t listen to him/her.

I don’t care for Drs but that’s prob because I have to see several on a regular basis due to a very bad back (up to 4 surgeries as of 4/15) & all the physical, emotional, mental & relationship complications that go along with it. All I can say is, if my Dr had such a nonchalant attitude regarding something such as what you’ve experienced, I’d either school him, find another Dr or, more likely, both. 😉

Ok, Ik I got of topic a bit, sorry all & thanks for bearing with me. I’m in the group that’s extremely sensitive to baking powder in my deo. I’ve tried at least 4 different deo recipes w/o baking soda & while I’ve had all end up with a nice consistency (to a 1/2 C amt ttl, I add a Tbsp beeswax in order to have a hard enough product when poured into an old deo container) & have experienced a softening/moisturizing of my pit skin, which has been nice, none work to control odor. In researching other uses for my Aztec Secret Indian Healing Clay (which, btw, IS edible according to customer Svcs at aztec-secret.com, in case any are wanting to try it’s benefits when ingested, as I do), I happened upon this blog & I’m so glad I have. I’ll be making this deo recipe tonight & will post my experience later on. I’ve high hopes as so many have posted positive results. Thanks for the recipe!
