    All I can say is WOW!!! I read about this here on MUA a few days ago, and instantly thought, "No way!!". Then I had second thoughts and tried it out just for the sake of curiosity since I had all...

    Just here to reiterate that this absolutely works and is one of my most successful DIYs so far. Superior to commercial products in several ways: 1. Pretty much 100% odor free since starting with...

    I haven't come onto MUA to write a review in a long time but I am compelled to do so. This stuff mixed with coconut oil to form a paste has been the most effective deodorant I have ever used. I...

    I think the combo of baking soda and cornstarch is a great deodorant (actually the best odor-fighting one I've ever used) but I gave it a 3 because the baking soda gives me an awful rash so I had...

    This homemade deodorant is better than any deodorant I've bought from the store. It keeps me dry and fresh for the whole day, which is a big deal to me. It also doesn't leave any gross residue on...

    The best thing is that you'll never smell all day! And even if you already smell, put it on and soon you won't stink! Works much better than all store deodorants

    This is amazing. I will never buy deodorant AGAIN. I mix corn starch, baking soda and coconut oil till it's a solid mass. Press it in a glass jar and use a popsicle stick to scoop some out. No...
