Several months ago I had a staph infection under my arms - nothing serious, just small, red VERY painful bumps. I visited my dermatologist, who said it is very common since staph bacteria lives all over our bodies, but can be exacerbated by deo/antiperspirants, especially on freshly shaven armpits. I switched to Tom's of Maine (I previously used Dove) and it really didn't help much, and honestly, I was stinky! ;) I am so hopeful that this will soothe my tender little pits!

Just a green FYI, Oxi-Clean is pretty close to non-toxic, and I’ve found that plain old oxygen bleach w/o fillers does an equally good job and is touted as eco-friendly!

The recipe sound great and I am ready to try this. The comments were also informative. I will let you know how this working for me. I have been struggling with deordorant/antiperspirant for years. I wasnt happy with any one brand. It's not that I have an oder problem. My number one issue is staying dry when not working out. Nothing seems to keep me dry "ALLDAY". My other concern and annoyance with commercial deordorant/antiperspirant is that yellowish stains on my shirts or expensive blouses. I want this to stop.. Therefore, I am all excite to try this. I did however, find the solution to clearing the yellow stains from my shirts and blouse. I swear by Oxi-Clean (at least until I found a Green alternative).

I would check the comments at my original post http://www.kitchenstewardship.com/2009/08/27/effective-homemade-deodorant-my-baby-steps-story/ and Lindsay's post that I got the recipe from (cited here), because there is discussion about this issue in both places!

Now I need to try this deo recipe! I *think* I don't sweat or smell much. I already limit how much I wear the deo/antiperspirant, since I break out in painful sores if I wear it too often (gross I know). I have found that Dove makes me break out less, but I'm really excited to try an all-natural recipe & maybe get rid of the rash forever!!!
