Aluminium-free deodorant

The one I use (and is called deodorant, not anti-perspirant) is Tom’s of Maine and I experimented to find the one I liked best (calendula in the end, they seemed to stop doing the coriander one which was also v good). I found it surprisingly effective, it’s in a sort of gel stick.

It was even surprisingly effective in somehow stopping the excessive sweating. Have also used a crystal thing but wasn’t sure what ingredients were, and have a tube of that other supermarket Bio one - where you add water? - which haven’t yet used as am happy with the Tom’s.

I’ve noticed that sometimes the supermarkets stock slightly misleadingly labelled antiperspirants and you have to read the labels carefully - hence I no longer shop there and instead hie to the wholefood store.

I bought a small crystal one in Boots to try and some of the money goes to Breast Cancer Care. I find it very good as I seem to only sweat on my good side and not on the side where I had underarm clearance. I did once read that this could be on account of rads. Have to say, my good side more than makes up for it, it’s like it works double time.
