Good long lasting natural deodrants?

natashasprite

Can anyone recommend a good natural, good for sensitive skin and good value for money deo? I have used Pit Rock and like it but my skin can still be sensitive to it sometimes and when I'm having a bad day it doesnt kill odour as much as I would like?

I have been using the crystal stick from https://www.lemonburst.co.uk on special offer at the moment.

I use a roll on called Earthly Elements, I get it from Holland & Barratt. It's completely natural and aluminium free. I've been using this brand for about 5 years now and I think it's great! It's a little expensive (around £3) but it lasts for ages.

Just be aware that any of the 'crystal' type solid anti-perspirants all contain aluminium. Putting a "no aluminium chlorohydrate" label on it is as accurate as putting the same label on a solid block of aluminium.

Can't find the H&B one, though they do a "Dr Organic" range (though don't list the ingredients).

Thursday Plantation do a tea tree oil roll-on anti-perspirant/deodorant that works pretty well and is aluminium free.

Lush do a range of deodorants with minimal packaging. Some contain propylene glycol but T'eo is based on sodium bicarbonate. They give the ingredients on their website. I have also previously used Green People deodorant to good effect. I use the Jason one too but having looked that also contains propylene glycol.

How do you know this with the aluminium content?I find it hard to believe they all state aluminium free?

No, they all state "No aluminium chlorohydrate", the manufacturers are very careful NOT to state "Aluminium free" because, well they're not.

Shortly after this blog entry: http://www.stephennewton.com/pitrok-natural-spray-alcohol-free-shop/ Pitrok removed the ingredients list from their website and Nigel Worthington (Pitrok's then director) hasn't replied to the replies to his post.

You can still find the ingredients list on some independent websites selling it, but as these ingredients are industrially produced chemicals, I'm sure the producers of these products would rather no one found out so they can maintain their facade of being 'natural'.

I found T'eo brilliant but must admit I eventually became allergic to it. I think I may have rubbed a bit hard as it a rough surface. Saying that I always either end up allergic or they stop working except for one by Genesis Organics which they seem to have stopped making.

I used to buy a rock - just looked like a rock & was supposed to be a rock, but the shop closed years back. Anyone know what that was?

Shocked about the cyrstal rok as that is what I now use.
