I'm finding that I do sweat a little bit using the baking soda, but do a mid-day freshen up and it works fine. I might try mixing in a little essential oils. We'll see. Saw this today.

It won't stop you sweating, but hey - you're supposed to sweat, and you will sweat less once your body realizes it doesn't have to fight the antiperspirant anymore. I keep some in an old spice bottle in my medicine cabinet: While washing up in the morning, sprinkle it on wet fingers to make a paste that dries in a thin film, and then top it off with baby powder. Sometimes I spritz a little fragrance under my arms too. I understand some people are more sensitive and need extra ingredients to reduce irritation, but straight-up baking soda works for me.
