Yup. Years ago my girlfriend and I were discussing the annoyance of deodorants; back then they all had some fragrance added and we didn't like that. So we started using a combination of baking soda and cornstarch, and it worked great! The soda combats odor and the cornstarch reduces perspiration. Every antiperspirant I know of on the market uses aluminum to clog the pores except Secret, which uses zinc. Personally if I'm going to be clogging my pores I think I'd rather do it with cornstarch. Also there's the advantage of being able to choose your own scent, or none at all. And some people are alergic to aluminum, so cornstarch provides an alternative. Of course another alternative is to go ahead and sweat a lot and stink. With luck people who are offended by such things will just go away and leave you alone.

If a rash appears you might have to discontinue use because cornstarch is notorius for holding and feeding bacteria and promoting yeast infection.
