I loved my homemade deodarant and was so upset when I got the rash from it. If the coconut oil version doesn't work, I'll probably try the original again without any essential oils and see if that works. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-an-organic-deodorantanti-perspirant-that-really-works#post-86553 Sun, 04 Mar 2012 07:32:07 +0000 Andrea 86553@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@shellio: thanks! i tend to get rashes as well so i have to be wary of things. i don't normally need to use anything, though, which is good. i had a few days there where i was sweating like crazy....it must have been crazy hormones because it went away! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-an-organic-deodorantanti-perspirant-that-really-works#post-86485 Sat, 03 Mar 2012 21:32:26 +0000 shellio 86485@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Andrea: @looch: @anbanan15:<br /> <a href="http://angrychicken.typepad.com/angry_chicken/2008/07/homemade-deodor.html" rel="nofollow">http://angrychicken.typepad.com/angry_chicken/2008/07/homemade-deodor.html</a></p> <p>Sorry! I haven't logged on for a while. This is the recipe I was using, while I was pregnant it did make me start breaking out in a rash in one armpit. (After already using it for months - bizarre.) I was super bummed because it worked extremely well, and have been using Tom's ever since because I had some around. I just started using a new concoction, coconut oil, baking soda, and cornstarch. I figured if I simplified maybe I would eliminate the rash-causing ingredient, but the jury is still out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-an-organic-deodorantanti-perspirant-that-really-works#post-83173 Tue, 28 Feb 2012 07:48:54 +0000 Ardently 83173@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh, thanks for this post!

The one that works for me is NOT Tom's, it's DeoDry from the Body Shop. And I love it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-an-organic-deodorantanti-perspirant-that-really-works#post-83121 Mon, 27 Feb 2012 22:25:40 +0000 anbanan15 83121@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@chopsuey119: Thanks for posting it!

I opened this thread to say that Tom's does not do a thing for me. :) </p> <p>I make mine, using baking soda, cornstarch, shea butter, cocoa butter, and some essential oils. Works better than anything else I've used. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-an-organic-deodorantanti-perspirant-that-really-works#post-80921 Thu, 23 Feb 2012 20:45:41 +0000 autumnlove 80921@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Tom's of Maine deodorant works for me!
