Deodorant
Recommend your non-aluminum, non triclosan deodorants please 
. I tried making my own but it gave me a rash and was itchy so I prefer to buy one. I was using Arm and Hammer Essentials Natural Deodorant but I just found out about triclosan and want to stay away from that.

Re: Deodorant
I don't use it daily- but Lush has some dusting powders. I've tried it in old (tiny, plastic) spice bottles and often think about a puff or throwing in an old sock or stocking to puff around. I'm excited to see suggestions since this has been a long-standing pondering of mine too.

Today I am pregnant & I love my baby!
I have heard about Lush deodorants but their shipping cost is more than I am willing to pay (more than the item itself costs) and there is no store near me.
I also looked at gudonyatoo but just read some blogs about their awful customer service and I don't want to support them.
I hope for some good ideas here!
Oh, no! How did I miss that on the ingredients list?!
This has been the only natural deodorant that has worked for me. GudonyaToo (on Etsy) has one called "Stinky No More," and I was able to delude myself for a couple months that it worked well for me, but it really didn't. I've never had any trouble with their customer service (I order products a few times a year), but now I'm curious so I might Google them later.
Tom's and the Crystal were both complete failures for me.
The only other natural method that has ever worked for me was baking soda with a little tea tree oil mixed in, dusted on with a make-up brush. It made my underarm pores clog, though, so I had to give it up.
I think this is going to have to be one of my green concessions.
I hope you find something that works for you!
LaVanila's The Healthy Deodorant. Lavender is my favorite scent.
$18 from Sephora. Pricey, but it works.
I've been using Crystal for a while. So far so good.
Lavilin kept odor away but I always forgot to put it on and then get stinky at inconvenient times. (You only need to apply it every 3 - 5 or so days).
I've tried Tom's and Jason at various times over the last several years and they've never worked.
When you switch, the new deodorant might not work as well for the first week or so while your body clears out the junk from the old stuff.
Tired after a long morning of hiking and swimming.
Love the LaVanila Lavender as well, but I don't live near a Sephora and I'm not going to pay shipping on top of $18!
I recently tried Showertreatsoap Lavender Cedar scented deoderant from Etsy. I really like it.
