sadly i am a stinky/sweaty lady and require antiperspirant, not just deodorant. which I did actually attempt to make myself once. i bought aluminum chlorohydrate powder and then proceeded to not make the time/effort to make an antiperspirant gel/spray out of it for about 5 years before giving up, admitting to myself it was an abandoned project, and tossing it along with components for several other abandoned projects in a pre-move cleanup 😑

fortunately I'm actually good on soap for now between Kirk's Coco Castille unscented and my hipster friend's homemade unscented olive oil soap :]

shampoo and conditioner have been difficult. I like the CeraVe ones I currently use but have to decide if I'm satisfied with their performance enough to justify the price. 😬 though if I do decide that I'll likely get them online for cheaper next time I run out

it is a big dumb scam that unscented things usually cost way more than scented.

    It's often harder to make "unscented" stuff because it means that none of the ingredients can leave a noticeable odor. Customers expect "no scent" not "smells like baking soda and tallow but not added fragrances".
