Natural Deodorant that ACTUALLY works

My good ol' Secret deodorant I loved was discontinued, I knew I should make the jump to something less chemically, so I grabbed a couple of options from the grocery store when I went.


They were awful and ineffective. I even did a pit detox thing.


Long story short, these are all the brands I wound up trying in this journey.


Tom's

Arm & Hammer

Native

Madame Lemy

Lume


Perhaps more, but these are the ones I specifically recall. Out of these Native and Lume were the best, but for me, they worked some of the time. Native I would have to reapply at midday. Lume, things would go as they should, then all of a sudden a couple of hours in, and phew. Then it seemed to work again with no rhyme or reason to how this played out. I got fed up and went back to Secret, somehow in this process, my pits decided that even though I used that brand for decades, now it gives me a rash.....more research, and I ordered Kosas Chemistry. I have tried both of the scented ones and have had zero issues since making the switch. They aren't cheap but they last a very long time, the last one I ordered there is still plenty left and I'm been using it for 3 months. With that said, they are liquidy, which I wasn't used to so in winter time all the fuzzies from sweatshirts stick which is slightly annoying, but not as annoying as smelling. Also, because it's liquidy, I don't find it effective using it elsewhere to prevent chaffing and such, for that Lume is the way to go. It shines in that department.
