    Thanks everyone for taking time out to reply to my post.
    I'm going try out Pitrok spray and Bionsen roll-on which is much cheaper compared to other natural deodorants which are normally around £5.00 or more.

    BTW, I forgot to mention - for the solid crystal type of natural deodorant, it's not enough to just swipe them once over your armpits. You're supposed to cover the whole area well, either whilst your skin is damp straight after a shower, or after wetting the crystal to apply on clean dry skin. But, basically, rub it all around several times!
    Cogito, ergo sum.

    i've tried a stick one from lush, which was pretty good. i think it was one for sensitive skin but it was so long ago that i bought it, i can't remember what it was called (seems to last forever!).

  • Just to add my experience: I used Pitrok for a while & liked it & thought it effective altho' I'm not too sweaty ;). But then I developed a persistent underarm rash which wouldn't go away & stopped using it incase it was the cause.
    Have been using Bionsen for years now & love the smell & think it's very effective. It's aluminium-free which was the main reason I started using Pitrok, but you'd need to investigate the other ingredients as not sure how 'Natural' they are.

    This cream is quite good, it kills the bacteria that cause the odour, not sure if it fulfills your criteria for being natural though...

    It is only a tiny pot but you don`t need much and don`t even have to apply it every day. They sell one for underarm and one for feet. I have both :o
