They "don't contain parabens, PEGs, synthetic ingredients including hormone-disrupting fragrance and antibacterials, petrochemicals, or aluminum compounds."

They also don't work. I've tried a lot of deodorants, including a lot of the all-natural junk, and the only, the ONLY one that has ever worked is Degree's Clinical Protection.

Maybe I am just stinker and sweatier than normal? :|

Here is another deodorant choice that is very inexpensive, contains a single ingredient, and absorption through the skin is desirable!

It is magnesium hydroxide, affectionately known as Milk of Magnesia (MoM). Get some Philips Original MoM (or generic brand), transfer to a spray bottle, shake before using, and you are ready to go. Topical absorption provides the body with magnesium, an essential mineral in short supply in most of the population.

You are absolutely correct, MoM works great and is actually good for you. Highly recommend.

Why isn't Crystal on this list? I've used it for years. It's a solid "rock" made of mineral salt, $6 at Wholefoods and it lasts me a whole year, unless I drop it on the tile floor then it shatters : (

Just use a pinch of baking soda for each underarm. It works great, it's natural, and very very cheap. Make sure you get the aluminum free baking soda.

I've been using Tom's Of Maine stick deodorant for years now and it's pretty good. I'm surprised it's not listed here.

i notice that all those deo's come in bottles of sorts. i buy mine at lush.com. it's a block wrapped in paper that i then keep in a shampoo tin or other little container and if i could get to the shop myself i would need no packaging at all as they could put it into my tin right away.
the future is in solid deo's, shampos and lotion/massage bars. cut out rhe wastefull packaging.
