Homemade Deoderant

I've been toying with the idea of homemade deoderant for a long time.  There are so many chemicals in that store-bought stuff, and we're always looking for ways to go more natural.  I think I've pinned about 6 different versions of it, and most of them use a combination of coconut oil, cornstarch and baking soda.  This one seemed the most simple, and what I liked about it is that it makes a small amount - I just want to try it out and see what it's like, without making a huge batch.

Her recipe is just 2 Tbsp of baking soda and 2 Tbsp of cornstarch.  Mix together and add 3 Tbsp coconut oil (softened).  I also added some lavender essential oil.

It made a small amount - enough to fill the trial-sized deoderant container and a small cosmetic container.  I'm not sure which application method will work best - using the deoderant container, or just applying by hand.

Again, head over here for the original post.

Update: It's been about a week now since started with it.  I've used it for every day use as well as when I go for a run.  It's important to note that it is a deoderant and not an antipersperant.  I do sweat some, but I don't notice any odour.  I like the fact that it's a natural product, and I don't cringe everytime I put it on like I used to.  If you've used homemade deoderant, let me know your recipe and what you think!
