Mama J. says get rid of your deodorant if it has aluminum in it.I check the label on my Lady Mitchum Clear Gel (which supposedly doesn't leave white residue on your clothes (not true)) and the first ingredient is aluminum.
J. (not to be confused with Mama J.) comes to visit and shows me her new deodorant from Weleda in the Citrus fragrance. And says, "This really works!"
I go to Whole Foods and discover that Weleda makes their natural deodorant in three fragrances: wild rose, sage and the aforementioned citrus.
I buy the sage fragrance which smells like a mix between a gin and tonic and a field of fresh lavender. M. really likes it. It's fresh (& exciting.)
The instructions say that you may apply as needed throughout the day, as it is all natural.
And rather than an antiperspirant it is a deodorant. Apparently antiperspirant has the aluminum in it to stop the natural function called perspiration.
I started using antiperspirant before I needed to because I wanted to use the pink Tickle roll on that was so popular. I've had dry underarms for so long I'm not sure if I remember what sweating feels like.
Time to find out. So far I love the fragrance upon application and at the end of the day. I like reapplying it, too. The glass bottle is kinda special and it smells so good.
Do your armpits a favor (and inconclusively, your lymph nodes and brain) and pick up a bottle of this uber-natch deodorant. I paid $10.99 at Whole Foods. But it is available at http://www.weleda.com/. Image courtesy of Weleda.

I like to use Nature's Gate deodorant (also no aluminum) in the Rose & Geranium scent. Kiss My Face also makes a nice deodorant. I've purchased both at Whole Foods for under $10.

KK?? Is it you?? If so, thanks for the info. If not, thanks for the info.
Yes, it's me...now a frequent visitor who looks forward to your posts.
Well, I purchased Tom's at Trader Joes, and I don't think it works. I don't usually perspire, but with my crazy hot flashes, I am. I guess I could apply it throughout the day, but that doesn't seem right either????
My experience with Tom's is that it doesn't work and I don't love anything about it. With the Weleda, I like putting it on.
Thanks for the comments and for reading!!
