I did at one point combine it with cornstarch. I still had underarm staining and odor issues. I so wanted it to work!! Hi Beth,

Are you still using baking soda? Did you tell the group you were using a different recipe? Please let me know because I am ready to write my comprehensive deodorant post and want to link to the bloggers who've tried baking soda and its various recipes. Hi Karen.

I have shifted my dusty trail to applying it in the shower, basically I step into the shower stall and the trail lands accordingly and I then use the dust to clean the shower stall !!

A couple of weeks ago I read a great idea and I'd tell you where if I could remember. I've long used coconut oil for various skin care purposes and had a little jar in my bathroom anyway. Now I put a little of that in my hand, sprinkle a little baking soda on it and mix it in. I then apply that. Much less irritating to the skin and coconut oil has some antibacterial properties, too. The source for this idea actually pre-mixed the ingredients and added a few drops of an essential oil as well. I might go ahead and do this at some point but for now, my impromptu method works. As for the baking soda *trail*, apply it over the sink and then afterwards use it to clean your sink. You can have fresh-smelling pits and a clean sink, too.

I too use a mineral pressed powder and never noticed a "trail" perhaps because it's pressed it's compressed more! Lisa, I think it would be great if you tried this!

I use a rock right now and it works well but still has some aluminum and I would like to get rid of that. I already use mineral makeup so I have to clean powder off of the bathroom and my clothes anyway. :) I’m thinking about trying this.

Woo hoo! Like I tell everyone, I would use this method even if I weren't trying to be eco-friendly. And I can related to your 3 days and no odor. It's happened to me, too, when I was sick and couldn't bring myself to get up and take a shower. No odor. That NEVER happened with commercial deodorant. Another convert! Woo hoo!
