Does anyone here make their own deodorant? How does it compare to the ingredients found in this recipe?

I love giving my 'homemade deodorant testimony"!! I've been using this recipe for almost 4 years! And it's not about cost, but really just about DIY'g!
I use a recipe of:
1/4 cup baking soda
1/4 cup cornstarch
1/4 cup coconut oil
5 drops of tea tree oil
Optional add'l extract oil for fragrance
This makes enough for 2-3 small jars...which lasts close to 5 months!! The 'looseness' of your mixture can vary from season to season...ie. It will be creamy in the summertime & very hard in the winter, but I've never had it stain any of my clothing...it melts right into your skin. So easy & cheap...and a much, much better alternative than anything you can buy.
Here's a link to an excellent YouTube video & a visual of what I use. Try it for a while...you'll be hooked!

I see this or a real similar recipe as the best for DIY deoderants.

I am not asking this to be snarky, I just want to learn something. What is in store bought deoderant that you all choose not to use it?
