Aluminium free deodorant that works?

Hi, I bought some King of Shaves deodorants which are aluminium free, but they don't seem to work too well. Can anyone suggest one that works but is easily available and not too expensive? I know Holland and Barrett do one.

    I use bionsen, that prevents the odour but doesn't clog pores or stop you from sweating.

    I bought a rock crystal off internet - all natural and works well :)
    Doesn't stop you sweating but does control the odour - I assume that's the sort of thing poster above uses ^^^

    Bionsen roll-on is good. Available from most supermarkets, often on offer.

    Pit-rock spray from Boots. Excellent. Lasts me at least all day and evening.

    I have bought this crystal too by Pitrock
    http://www.pitrok.co.uk/category/91/deodorants/ and http://www.greenpeople.co.uk/ this link takes you to green people with organic deoderants. The ladies ones smell nice and i alternate between the rock and the green people one. If you are going down this route you may also want natural toothpaste as when you realise what goes into toothpaste that will also probably want to go down the natural route.

    The crystal may cost a bit more but it lasts for absoloutely ages if used correctly.
