In my case, it was the only solution that worked for natural deodorants. I tried many combinations and recipes to no avail and kept stubbornly trying to find something effective for me. Decalac made all the difference in my case (I discovered by accident how effective it is, when I used it instead of lemonester, which was out of stock at the time).

I use it in deodorants and it's good. But to not get messed up with so many little bottles I would be glad to be able to order it in 100ml or at least 250ml.
