I got tired of normal deodorants and anti-perspirants -- they didn't always work, I don't like the way they smell, and the residue made my clothes discolour and eventually break down under the arms. So I started using Odaban spray, which I love. There's basically nothing in it except, I think, water and aluminium chloride. Now I want to make my own version at home, but I'm kind of intimidated by the chemistry aspects -- can you help me? I've found a source for aluminum chlorohydrate, which I believe is basically the same as aluminium chloride, but I am clueless about how to make it into a simple minimalist spray product like Odaban. Would I mix it with water? Hot or cold, and how much? Do I need to do or add anything else?
*I know that aluminium chloride is claimed to be linked to increased risk of Alzheimer's and breast cancer, but that doesn't bother me -- I don't worry much about stuff like that, and it looks to me like the support for the link is pretty weak.
