Help! I stink. :(
Yes, a funny title, but I'm having trouble finding a "green" deoderant that works for me.
I was an avid Degree user for years...but after learning about aluminum, wanted to switch to a natural deo.
I first tried KMF Liquid Rock lavendar, and it worked well. But then I saw it had potassium alum in it, a different form of aluminum that I'd rather not take chances with. So...the past few weeks I've been switching between Origins No Offense deoderant which isn't great, and Jason Lavendar which really doesn't seem to hold back the odor. I've tried putting a little baking soda under my arms in addition...but nothing.
Help me find a GOOD deoderant that works! (not Crystal or others that contain potassium alum). I'd prefer a stick, etc. vs. making my own...I'm lazy like that.
Thanks ladies!

Re: Help! I stink. :(
Someone posted the one I use on here... http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=42221526&ref=sr_list_8&&ga_search_query=clove&ga_search_type=&ga_page=2&includes[]=tags&includes[]=title
I LOVE IT! And I tend to be a stinker. DH is impressed too, although admitted that he doesn't like clove nearly as much as me.
I can't help but I look forward to the responses. I'm switching back and forth between Crystal (semi-stinky me) and the Jason Lavender (very stinky me). And using the remnants of my last Secret on days I know I'm going to sweat and be around other people.
I need to figure this out before I find a job!
I think so much has to do with your personal chemistry. I don't even normally sweat much but one deoderant (Jason apricot) made me rank!! I liked Earth Science rosemary mint but I had to reapply it several times a day, which is kinda weird.
I've been using the Gudonya Too Stinky No More (from etsy) for quite a while and nooo stinky! I love this stuff!
Supposedly Adidas makes an aluminum-free deoderant but I don't know how true or EF that is.
Adidas does/did make an aluminum free deodorant. I loved it! However, I haven't been able to find it anywhere!!! I've been using the Jason deodorants.
I also use the Mayan Gold from Gudonya Too! in addition to the clove one.
That's the one I tried first, and then I ordered Mayan Gold as well, which is spicier and more unisex. I like having multiple scents! I'm not sure what I'll add next.
Oh and these seem to last a LOOOONG time. The stick itself I mean.
Me too!! I am more likely to buy from a store like WF because I know I can return it if need be.
