May. 1, 2008 - Non toxic anti perspirant and deo....
It kind of tickles me that people find this interesting, but ok, here goes, by special request... If you are interested in an alternative to the stick and roll on anti-perspirant/deodorant that causes cancer there are several things you can do to keep body odor at bay. 
Probably the simplest thing, is to purchase a crystal rock. All you have to do is run it under water then rub it on your skin. This was the first thing I used. Another thing you can do is when you get out of the shower, or before you get dressed, rub a little coconut oil on your skin, it has antiviral properties and it really DOES work! One thing that I do, perhaps some might find it a little extreme, is by taking a daily dose of Liquid Chlorophyll. Not only does the liquid chlorophyll act as an internal deodorant but it is also good for you.
Ok, so there's the run down on how you can get away with NOT using toxic underarm sticks.

Another thing that works well is baking soda. You can put a few drops of essential oil to make it smell good, but even plain works. I was thinking that using the coconut oil like you mentioned before putting on the baking soda would help it to "stick". We put ours in a ball jar and use a cosmetic pad for application.

How do you use it, do you rub it on your underarms? Is it gritty? I need to know more! Sounds like a great idea, baking soda is cheap!

We just mix it up in a bowl, about 1 cup of baking soda, 5-10 drops of essential oil. Then put it in a ball jar with a cosmetic pad on top and apply it as needed. I don't notice it to be gritty using it this way. I tried to use it as a non toxic body powder (not just under the arms) but I did think it was a little gritty for that--not as smooth as store bought powder, so I am still working on that!
