Roll-on deodorant refill? (lemm.ee)

I've noticed that the Nivea roll-on deodorants I'm using are pretty easy to open after used up, but haven't found any refill fluid on the market.

I know some people use powders etc, I'm not willing to try that, but does anyone know of a reasonably priced refill?

I just tried that using a recipe with baking soda, coconut oil, arrow root powder and tea tree oil. Though it works great as a deodorant it does not work with the roll on bottle. If you keep it warm so that the coconut oil is liquid it works lol. I had to take the roll thingy out. Do you have a way/recipe for making a liquid deodorant?

I guess using another oil with a lower melting temperature might be worth a try?

It honestly was just a random idea from me, I've never tried it. However in your case I'd try adding more oil. Perhaps search online to see if there's a suitable oil.
