deodorant /Re: baking soda and aluminum

[Guest guest]

Baking soda works great as a deodorant for me. I even keep some in the

car for those especially sweaty days... ;+)

It is irritating in the summer, though, but I've found that Mexsana

powder works really well, too. I don't know what benzethonium chloride

is, and the " fragrance " keeps me from using it year-round. I suppose I

should use plain cornstarch, or mix up my own stuff...
