Have you found a way to apply it without 'clumping up'? Add essential oil? If so, does it diminish the effectiveness of the deodorant?

The best way has been to run warm water over it and apply gently. I have found that I really don't need to apply a lot and if done gently, really doesn't bother me. This stuff is amazing. Still works in hot tropical climates, I am finding out!

Use it right out of the shower and leave your underarm a little wet for it to go on smoothly.

the warmer it is the less it clumps. it's warm here in florida. you might want to heat the whole container against your body before applying.

Before finding this deodorant, I used coconut oil and baking soda. One day I put some coconut oil on under my arms by habit before remembering that I had this new deodorant, and discovered that when I then added the deodorant, it glided on SO much more easily. So, if you just keep a small container of coconut oil in the bathroom, you can add a little first. No need to heat the deodorant at all this way.

I do put on deodorant along with talc. I have never tried just talc as a deodorant. Try going to their website and ask them or ask your doctor. I hope this helps.

Yes, I do. My skin tends to be dry. I apply it right after my morning shower and about 30 minutes prior to applying make up. I've used both liquid and mineral powder and have personally found no problem with clumping.

I apply at night and take showers in the morning after a 1 hour work out. I scrub my armpits and it's still effective for the next couple of days. I also had my doubts but for me it's working as advertised.

This won't clump like regular coconut oil. As for face wash, I don't see why not.

I would think it doubtful as using a regular deodorant will clog your pores. Why would you want a scent anyway? Just use some perfume or cologne.

Inever had a problem with it clumping as I didn't put it on very thick and it worked effectively. I used a thin film instead of pasting away as I feel the majoirty of those who have this issue had done.

Yes really well. Also I read on Internet to put a little under arm instead of a deordarant and it worked really well. I love the stuff. Put a little in shampoo and body wash works really well also. I bought another pound just to make sure it was around. A little goes a long way. Good luck

I wouldn't use shea butter for deodorant; here's a simple deodorant recipe: 3 Tbsp. coconut oil, 2 Tbsp. beeswax, 2 Tbsp. baking soda, 2 Tbsp. arrowroot, 1/8 tsp. tea tree essential oil, 1/8 tsp. lavendar or rosemary essential oil. Melt beeswax and coconut oil over double boiler over low heat; whisk in baking soda and arrowroot powder. Remove from heat and stir in essential oils (for a feminiine scent use tea tree, lavendar, sweet lime, and ylang ylang; for a more masculine smell use tea tree, cedar and sandalwood). Pour into deodorant container and leave uncapped for 24 hours, or til it's cool; then cap. This should make enough for one stick of deodorant.

I haven't used it in my deodorant, but that is a great idea and my men would love it. I think it would be great.

I'm not sure what allergens you're trying to avoid...maybe you could modify this one if there's something you are allergic to. The beeswax will keep it from melting, even in the trunk of a car all day in Hawaii! I've made this recipe several times, if at all possible, use every ingredient. I've made it without castor oil and it was not the same :( http://amyrogershays.com/2013/07/16/homemade-deodorant-for-sensitive-skin-bentonite-clay-and-baking-soda/

I use regular deodorant still everyday. I applied the hydrosal every day for several weeks then I applied it every other day. Now I am on my second bottle and apply it a few times a week. It works great and has saved me regarding my issue. You can use it externally on several parts of your body, not just hands or underarms. My dermatologist told me about this product.

I haven't tried it lol. But considering it's not a true essential oil it can leave a sticky residue.

I use it with coconut oil on my skin. Fragrance doesn't last long. Worth trying!

This is what I mix for one deodorant container... „Ã 1.5oz Liquefied Coconut Oil + 1/8 Tsp Baking Soda + 1 TBSP Arrow Root Powder + 8 Tsp Bentonite Clay + 5 Drops Of Any Scented Essential Oil ( Note if it makes your pits itch, back off on the baking soda, you need to use such a tiny amount of that ) I like to use lime oil or teatree and pepemint oil for scent. I keep mine in the fridge too. Keeps it fresh, solid and fees nice going on. Enjoy

I dab the product on MY problem area(excessive forehead sweating) at night for a few days duration; the residual benefits keep me dry for extended periods of time. Once the sweating reverts to former stage, reapply again as per above regimen. I would bet that you can probably forego the deodorant or use very sparingly every 3third or fourth day.

Dylan (Alis) Crystal Rock is marketed as a deodorant not an antiperspirant, however I found that it significantly reduced underarm perspiration for me. I checked again before responding to your inquiry. I sweat profusely when I exercise and yesterday and today I checked after exercising and found that my underarms were significantly dryer as compared to the rest of my body. So the results for me were pretty good, but everyone is different. Give it a try and see for yourself the product is relatively low priced so you wont risk much in trying.
