Commercial deoderants' active ingredient is aluminum - which has been linkedy to alzheimer's. I haven't had a lot of luck with the natural aluminum free deoderants from the store - they don't seem to work well at all. Here's a recipe to make your own. The only thing you need is an empty container from regular deoderant. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------This recipe is from http://www.littlehouseinthesuburbs.com/2009/03/quick-stick-deodorant.html

SERVES 1 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

1/4 cup baking soda
1/4 cup cornstarch
10-20 drops tea tree oil
2 tablespoons coconut oil (find it at health food stores -it's solid at room temp.)

Directions

1
Mix all ingredients in a bowl until well combined.
2
Smash into empty deoderant container and smooth over.
3
Let it sit 1 day to become solid again.
4
Use with a lighter hand than you would with normal stick deodorant, especially the first couple of days or it'll drop little balls on your bathroom rug. Used correctly, this stuff is invisible and lasts for ages, as it works with a very light layer. You should not be able to see it once applied.

This actually works really great to stop sweat and stink. HOWEVER, your skin may be sensitive to the baking soda. It's not affected me in other areas, but once used in this form, it made my skin red and itchy (didn't go away for over 5 days after stopping it). I am going to try reducing the bs and possibly upping the cornstarch to see if that works. The recipe I got elsewhere also uses 4 T oil and it still hardened up.
