Deodorant/Antiperspirant

I love Hermes, antiperspirant and balsam.

Schmidts deo in a jar, use a finger pads worth under each arm and it's been pretty good for me the last couple years.

LOL  I made this thread 5 years ago and it's still going     

That said, I have found a new powder that I liked called Monkey Butt, I have been using that instead of normal deodorant

Today in my SOTD ...

Longtime fan of Old Spice original formula Fresh scent

Freddy I went to the crystal website and there is lots of talk about whats not in the product and how its all natural but not a word anywhere including FAQs about what is in it, i.e., potassium alum vs ammonium alum.  Strange, like they won't even acknowledge that there might be a difference.  They should at least address it to avoid confusion.

Most brands of crystal deodorants do not state which alum they use (even on their web sites), and they only like to brag about what's not in it, like aluminum chlorohydrate or parabens, etc.
They cannot claim that there is no aluminum, because potassium alum is potassium aluminum sulfate , and ammonium alum is ammonium aluminum sulfate.

(Yes, it's "all natural", but so is radon gas, botulism, and ricin. I wish companies would stop saying stuff like that. That by itself certainly doesn't make me any more inclined to choose a product.)

Deodorant Stones of America makes three brands of crystal deodorant and they're all potassium alum.
(Sorry for the monster-sized images.)




I've been using a stick of the "Pure & Natural" version just as a post-shave product for well over a year now, and there's at least a third of it left.
It's about half the price (by weight) of a typical alum block intended for post-shave use. I got mine at a health food store.
The handle is ... handy, and I've never dropped it.
The flattened top of the cap means I can park it upside down and any water on it won't drip down into the handle and dissolve the alum (which would cause it to loosen).

[edit]
It appears that this brand is potassium alum too.

I always come back to old spice

Bravo Sierra. Lasts the longest and no weird chemicals. Also AOS is close and all natural.

Well, since I use DR Harris soaps, I also do use its deodorants. Come in both stick and roll-ons.  Works well for me.

I have been using Lume'.  I'll admit that when you first use it...there is a "break in stage."  But after that...it's one of the better natural deodorants I have used.  A lot of different scents to choose from.
