Since my mom had breast cancer Ive been very aware of what deodorants I use and usually i just dost with a little baking soda and call it done and hope for the best.. It works, but I like stuff with a scent so I se out to find a natural recipe for deodorant and here is what I have used for a week now that I look...

This recipe is for a small portion but you can adjust the ingredients to suit you. It isnt an exact science and infact I dont actually measure any of the ingredients so these measurements are guesstimates

1 tbsp baking soda
2 tbsp kudzu root powder (can substitute for corn starch or some other absorbent starch powder)
4 tbsp lip balm base from brambleberry (you could mix the oils yourself  Lip Base ingredients and INCI: Coconut Oil (Cocos Nucifera oil), Cera Alba (Beeswax), Sweet Almond oil (Prunus Amygdalus Dulcis), Avocado oil (Persea Gratissima). I find it simpler to just use this balm base.. Does the same trick )
1/2 tsp shea butter (optional)
(If you prefer to mix your own I will put the ingredients of the lip balm base at the end of this recipe)
2 drops tea tree oil
4-6 drops of your favorite scent essential oil (optional)( I like apple, or wake up raspberry from Brambleberry)
put your your lip balm base and shea butter in a microwaveable measuring cup melt at 10 second intervals until all is melted
when oils are melted stir lightly to mix in shea butter, then add your baking powder and kudzu root powder tea tree oil and scent oil mix well and pour into a container with a lid or when cooled slightly pack into an empty deodorant tube.. when its cooled it will harden and you will be able to use as a deodorant stick.. You can keep in fridge if your deodorant isnt as firm as you'd like, or add more lip balm base..

works wonderfully and lasts all day...

Enjoy
