I don't have much faith in "natural" deodorants regardless if they are healthier than conventional deodorants and antiperspirants. To me they are all hype and not much else.

I remember using that natural salt type deodorant that was all the rage years ago. Didn't do anything for me and my B.O. was as bad as not using anything.

I'll stick to the non-irritating, non-staining antiperspirants.

Making the switch to a natural deodorant is a lot easier when you bypass mass-produced drugstore products and place your trust in an artisan brand like Beekman 1802. The Beekman team is hyper-focused on formulating skincare products that are super effective and non-toxic—and their freshly scented, all-natural Milk Stick deodorant is a top-selling example.

The secret ingredient? It’s goat milk—and it comes directly from a herd of goats raised at the brand’s headquarters: a 200-year-old farm in upstate New York.

Someone working at home might want to try that. If it doesn't work for them, it won't be a disaster. They state, "Over time, it helps reduce the number of odor-causing bacteria.” I wouldn't have gone to a tense meeting at work using that for the first time.

I’ll stick with native since it does not irritate and keeps the underarms soft, dry, and stink free.

Seriously? Native products intrigue me, but it doesn’t claim to be an antiperspirant, so I hesitate to try it.

I don’t sweat much to begin with. If you are a woman who sweats a lot but wants to go natural, I’d recommend Lume.

I use a thick magnesium lotion under my arms which dries right up and works like a charm!

Instant deodorant is to splash on isopropyl alcohol under the arms, the upper arms, shoulders and sides of the body where the arms hang. Do both sides twice. Air dries in a minute or two. No odor once it dries. Kills all the bacteria instantly. Lasts for several days. Avoid getting it on wood cabinets.

If I were to do this two consecutive days, my armpits would be red and burning.

I occasionally use alcohol-based hand sanitized on my armpits right before a shower. It zaps bacteria instantly. I also use it on my feet and crotch once in a great while...works great!

I use Schmidt's deodorant and it works great for me. The one I use has baking soda, but they do make a sensitive skin formula without baking soda.

I rarely need to use it. I shower every night before bed and don't raise a sweat very often. And if I do need to use it, it works instantly. It's also good for instantly curing jock itch, itchy feet, even ear aches. I also use it to disinfect any cuts or bruises.
