It seems you then just spread it on, like icing a cake

It does look like frosting for a cake!
I usually use solid stick deodorants or crystals (not roll on or aerosols) but this is a bit softer than the norm!! Maybe it'll firm up by morning.

I just use baking soda on its own, mixed with a drop of water to make it into a paste.

That sounds a lot easier TMTT.

Sounds interesting, how did it work out Veggie and did it make leave marks on your clothes.
RE: Eco friendly recommendations - Veggie - 11-07-2022
The Verdict so far..........
Yesterday I wore a loose cotton shirt so it wasn't close to my armpits so can't really comment on the marks on clothes question - but there weren't any!
I got quite hot and sticky during the day but, at bedtime, I didn't smell sweaty. A slight hint, maybe, but nothing compared to many deodorants I've tried.
I didn't wash it off last night and, after a really hot night, I was a bit whiffy this morning!!
The recipe needed essential oil which I didn't add as I only had Eucalyptus oil that was drippable and I thought it might be a bit overwhelming. However, I've added some this morning to the almost liquid mixture. It would probably work well in a roll-on deodorant container but they're not easy to dismantle.
Ask me again tomorrow.

Day 3 and all is well. I'm going to keep using it. Definitely worth a try.

Thinking of you Veggie I bought some coconut oil.
Thats as far as i got though.

You possibly have the rest of the ingredients in the back of the cupboard - or your daughter/son will.
One thing, and this is a bit personal, ,,,,if your armpits are a bit hairy the deodorant seems to cake on the hairs.
