Trying to stay toxic-free but can`t find a safe/natural deodorant that works. Have tried Tom`s of Maine (works, but needed to apply several times during the day), Crystals (didn`t work), and a few home remdies (most didn`t work, and those that did work gave me a rash). Suggestions are appreciated.
Aluminium Compounds should be avoided. Any natural deo is always preferable. You cannot always find natural deo, but yes sandalwoods are good for skin as well.
I have been using aluminium-free deodorant for many years now. I’ve tried a lot, ranging from high end or drugstore. I currently use Kopari’s new Coconut Deodorant and I have to say that I’m obsessed with it. I started using it after I read an article at Beauty-tips-and-tricks.com/. With this deodorant you will sweat because that’s normal and that’s what your sweat glands are meant to do. It is antibacterial, anti-fungal, and incredibly moisturizing and contains vitamin E, which helps improve skin health and antioxidants.
I started going toxic-free on all body care products during my pregnancy. And the most difficult of all products was to find an aluminum free deodorant that actually WORKED. After trying a number of products from commercial (Tom’s, Arm & Hammer, Secret clinical strength, …) to organic (crystals, home remedies, ….) , I tried a cream called DeodoMom based on a friend’s recommendation – and I love it. It’s not only aluminum free, it’s also alcohol, fragrance, and dye free. I’ve been recommending it to all my friends and families. Their website has some good information on aluminum toxicity also. Good luck. www.30someweeks.com.
