Depending on what is causing the allergic reaction, you could try some of the natural deodorants, like Toms of Maine (they do an unscented one) or JASON. You can get them online or in health food shops.

Bicarbonate of soda is also a very effective deodorant, strange though that may sound And I would think it's far less likely to cause an allergic reaction. I buy the Waitrose one for less than £1 and just use a little bit of it each morning after washing, like talcum powder.

Another vote for Jason or Dr organics. no parabans, sls, chemicals or aluminium.

As said earlier, you need to work out what you're allergic to and then read ingredients lists to find one without it. I'd start with aluminium as it's a common one to be allergic to. I'm allergic to it in all forms including potassium allum. Aluminium is what makes it anti-persperant though, so going aluminium free means the product won't stop you sweating, but it will help control odour. I have actually stopped using anything at all but have used Body Shop and Lush products, and Bionsen in the past. I also choose my clothes very carefully so as not to get patches under the arms. I'm not a heavy sweater luckily but it's harder in the summer.

I like Sanex best ( rollon )

I use Bionsen aluminium free. It's available in most supermarkets in roll-on and spray. Also available in stick and crystals but these are harder to find.
*2 for £4 in Sainsb's at the moment*

Depends what you are allergic to tbh. For me it is Cinnamaldehyde which is in nearly all deos, but the one I can wear is Mitchum roll on unscented.


Hope you find the culprit soon.

Thanks for this. I was not aware of cinnamaldehyde as a possible cause of allergy. I am another person sensitive to most deodorants after years of searching and hundreds of pounds wasted. The only one I can use us mitchum unscented as well.

My OH is sensitive to most antiperspirants and the way he copes is to use a different one each day. He usually has about 4 different brands on the go at any time and finds this prevents him reacting.

My 'trick' is to apply a little sudocrem at night under arms.
small smear
seems to ease the reaction for the next day,though i don't really spray under my arm pits. more around the area
