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

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.

It didn't firm up! I spread a dab onto my armpits and, surprisingly, it wasn't greasy. I'll let you know at the end of this incredibly hot day how effective it is.

Sounds interesting, how did it work out Veggie and did it make leave marks on your clothes.

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. Big Grin

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

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. Big Grin
