The new word on the street is that we need to be careful of deodorants...that aluminium in them has been linked to breast cancer. Though tests seem to be inconclusive, I would rather not take the risk

I tried going without deodorant and it worked fine with my low-meat diet in Malaysia, but now that I am back in SA 'the home of beef' I am struggling!
I therefore have tried this recipe and finding it hugely successful!
1 tablespoon corn flour
2 teaspoons baking soda/bicarbonate of soda
A few drops of essential oils like lavender or rosemary

I will admit there are some days when I smell, but in order to cut back on those I make sure to wash my clothes regularly and avoid synthetic clothes as they get older.
It is nice to cut back on one more plastic container I would have added to the rubbish heap!
