Concerns about the dangers of Aluminum Zirconium Tetrachlorohydrex GLY (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aluminium_zirconium_tetrachlorohydrex_gly) and the nasty stains I get on my shirts sent me on a search looking for natural deodorant options.
Years ago I used Dove for a while and it was nice but I am a heavy sweater and I looked for something stronger. I took up my mother's philosophy of getting whatever is on sale or has the lowest retail price. This had disastrous results and I just ended up passing them along to my thrifty mama. I moved on to Degree which worked well for the sweating but I prefer to not have the scent of fragrance additives and my underarms were not very soft (like they had been with the Dove) so I kept looking. I tried Toms, Kiss My Face, the rock crystal and common brands without the antiperspirant ingredient but noting worked the way I wanted. I was either flapping my arms like a psych ward patient to get the liquid kind to dry or reapplying because it wasn't very long before I was sweating again. I was thoroughly annoyed and thought there must be a better solution. I tried using baby powder but that made a huge mess in my bathroom, and you know I can't have that. Plus, I am not crazy about the idea about breathing that in.
With all he gardening I've done the past several months no deodorant was gonna stand a chance anyway, so I gradually just stopped wearing it. It seems my body has learned to regulate itself. My skin is softer and I am shaving more often to keep down the odor. A good friend brought it to my attention hair is designed to hold scent as that is how we would naturally identify one another.
I recognize that this is not for everyone, not for most even. However, I would love it if you would consider other, hopefully more natural and healthy options in your own health and beauty care regime. I like to check here for research, http://www.cosmeticsdatabase.com/.
