    Question Aluminium free / natural deoderant?

    Does anyone know any good brands or types? Are there any good ones at the supermarket at all? If not, where would I get them from? TIA

    Health food shop Mine has loads of different types; I pretty much picked one at random

    I have "The Body Crystal" roll-on crystal deodorant. It works great; I sweat less than I did with chemically ones, without the perfumey smell, which I have hated since being pregnant the first time - can't stand scents like that now. It smells a bit like vinegar on application, but that smell soon dissipates (maybe like how if you use vinegar in your wash, the clothes don't smell of vinegar when they come out).

    i have a brilliant spray on crystal one. they make it in 2 scents a more girly one and a more masculine one ( we got the more masculine one and we share it ) will go check the label ...

    i got it from the health food store and it actually works as an antiperspirant ! i was amazed but it is great.

    ETA - the body crystal botannica one is what i have. i want to get the other more feminine smelling one.

    I used to use a crystal stick but now use just plain ol' bi carb and it works great, actually better than the crystal.

    My DH rarely uses deod (stinky, I know!!) because they always burn his skin. Should I try an aluminium free one do you think? Anyone else have this problem & found something that works?
