…just make your own at that point and save money? You should not be suffering spending extra on unscented stuff. That’s like the easy ass default. You can buy unscented soap in bulk for cheap as hell.
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”.
I believe that, often, “unscented” things have stuff added to mask smells and “fragrance free” is the one that has this issue, but I don’t think these phrases are actually regulated like “organic”

Like baking soda, cornstarch, and coconut oil might be all you need for an unscented deodorant

You might want to look up some high end perfumes; they often sell anti=perspirants with the same scent.
