The best deodorant is thorough washing every day, but if this is not enough…

Pour all ingredients in bottle and shake to mix.  Put a little on a piece of cotton and apply to freshly washed and dried skin.  It can also be used on the feet.

The best substances for washing the skin before you use this are water and starch (corn flour, rice flour) possibly with the addition of some EO and diluted cider vinegar.  These are completely harmless and you need have no qualms about using them.  Do not get carried away with quantities and end up smelling of disinfectant rather than just fresh and clean.
