Hi every one this can be used as a deoderant cost $1.89 per 2oz tube and will last three to four days per applacation. It also does not have any harmfull ingredients. It is great for dipper rash to. Another use is it will dry up any poison ivy, oak, sumac. Happy Smells to all.
Thanks for the tip! I've only seen it used on lifeguards' noses!
I think I'll even use it on that rash on my dipper...(!)
Interesting... I have been using something along the same lines: zinc oxide, cornstarch, baking soda. Works pretty well. Readily available source of zinc oxide powder: Gold Bond's Medicated Powder. Just add cornstarch for dryness, baking soda to raise pH beyond bacterial growth threshold. No aluminum, no glycols, and antimicrobial.
hey Tom Paine that was a good one my mispell I ment diaper like as a babys. That is funny I think I will leave it.

Hey, Montalk! That sounds something that ought to go in your recipes thread along with biscotti. Maybe keep those little "dippers" from "burning"! Haha! (Although, they may not be very tasty...:( )
I really haven't worn deodorant in years, myself. There was a point when I found out how toxic they can be, and then just never bothered with using anything else, natural or otherwise, after that. I have found eating a cleaner diet and cleansing reduced b.o. dramatically. But, then, I love my bacteria. Works like garlic on vampires. You find out who your friends really are! And gives everyone else something to talk about. Yes, it's a service. "Happy smells", indeed! Ha! 
No offense intended mriver! I just couldn't resist!
Montalk, no wonder they say that taking a bath with baking soda is good for you, I just never
thought of it in terms of PH and bacterial growth threshold, thanks!
Thook, I haven't used regular deodorant for years, but I have been using one of those clear
"stones" they sell in the health food store. Just wet it and rub it under your arms and let dry.
It's probably got alum in it, but I'm not sure.
They say back in the Golden Age (whenever that was) that humans didn't have bad smells.
What with the crap that's foisted upon us to eat these days and the anxiety produced by
constant competition with other STS types it's no wonder we have wanted to cover our
odor. But your cleaning up of your diet has probably cleaned up your odor to mostly
normal human smell. Which is okay. I'm sure we have all noticed the difference between
honesty hard working sweat and nervous anxious sweat.
I recently went to using zinc oxide for a deoderant. So far I can't complain, although I really have never had issues with BO.
I actually started using zinc oxide as per Dr. Hulda Clark's advise regarding body products. I was getting disgusted by what was considered a "health" brand of deoderant anyways. Not only were they expensive, but most still had heavy metals! The most obvious was the Burt's Bees natural spray deoderant. Although the ingrediants were just herbal extracts and alcohol, the solution is sold in an aluminum canister!
No offense taken Tom Paine read your reply and busted out laughing that was great.
am glad that there are people waking up and watching what they are putting in their bodies.
Hey Tom Paine I'm on one of those "stones" as well. Nice to finally find someone else that uses them. My understanding is that they are completely Alum free and I have to say that EVERY other product I've tried, both "natural" and standard has caused my skin to blister within three days. Theses stones are fantastic, been using it for two years now and one stone practically last a year. Cheap and effective.
Sorry if that sounded like an infomercial but they actually are good.
Hey Kiwi friend,
I wonder what's in those clear stones? I've looked at the packaging and it doesn't say.
They don't prevent perspiration but they keep it from going sour, that's what I like about
them. So using them doesn't block the pores under your arms which can lead to getting
clogged lymph glands and other scary lumps! As far as I know they were originated in
the tropics, like the Philippines or Thailand. I've had this one stone for over a year.
Not a bad investment, I'd say!
Using zinc oxide now on various external places and I've noticed an improvement
immediately! Funny, drugstores are keeping it BEHIND THE COUNTER. Guess the
major sellers of medicine that doesn't work wants to keep it quiet, ey?
