Definitely deodorant, and of the homemade variety! Even as a kid, I sweat like crazy... and every antiperspirant seemed to make it worse. Even the clinical kinds! My doctor was about to remove my sweat glands, but I decided to go the homemade route instead.
Ever since, I've been pretty much sweat free (even at the gym!), and odourless. Blisssss!!
1 part baking soda 1 part cornstarch 2 parts melted (but not hot) coconut oil
Then, stir in your favourite essential oil blends, pour into a sterilized glass container and stick it in the fridge for a few hours so that it hardens up!
It's seriously so simple, and super cheap! The baking soda acts as a deodorant, the cornstarch absorbs any moisture, and the coconut oil makes it nice and nourishing for the skin. For the first little while it presented some very minor irritation when applied right after shaving, however even that has gone away.
It's even passed the sweaty man test! My partner uses it, also, and the very best part for him is that there are no yellowish-deodorant sweat stains on his business clothes anymore!
awesome! thanks so much for sharing! I've heard about the irritation from using this combo, and it has lept me from trying it, but maybe it's about time I gave it a try.

Sounds like you have something amazing that is working for you. I'd love to hear more. :)
Mix together in a large bowl:
1 part baking soda
1 part cornstarch
2 parts melted (but not hot) coconut oil
