I just tried that is the best one I have found. It has all the same ingredients plus beeswax to help with the 'solidness' and just a few drops of castor oil to make it 'glide on' much more easily. Otherwise the ingredients are the same - cornstarch (or arrowroot), baking soda (sodium bicarbonate), coconut oil, essential oils (I prefer thyme oil for anti-bacterial since I am not a real fan of tea tree's smell).<br />If you are interested in the exact recipe, let me know and I will share it in a few days, when I get it perfected.<br />Thank you Mary and keep the journey going...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5227092106086326810.post-32322103925270236052012-07-20T10:25:53.327-04:002012-07-20T10:25:53.327-04:00I'm interested in trying that second recipe es...I'm interested in trying that second recipe especially.

I found that I needed to add more cornstarch and baking soda as it was too oily. I would recommend going with 1/8th a cup of coconut oil and then slowly add more if you need. I am on day 4 of using it and I am sooooooo impressed with how well it works. I live in NC and have been outside sweating and no odor what so ever! I will never go back to store bought. I haven't tried adding essential oils yet as I am on a tight budget and can't really afford them right now.Cindy B.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5227092106086326810.post-22338800816839961422012-07-15T20:22:20.261-04:002012-07-15T20:22:20.261-04:00Hi Julie!
