    I have a mild allergy to most deodorant so I need to pick my battles, because if I wear the stuff that actually works daily, I’ll end up with a pretty sensitive rash and unable to wear anything at all. So most days I’m either wearing nothing or the crystal stuff which last like 45 minutes. If I’m getting on a plane or in a crowd I throw on the good stuff. Also I’m not paying $20 for Native BS I’d rather just smell bad.

      Have you tried Zero Sweat? I don’t know about your specific skin but I’ve gotten pretty inflamed armpits a number of times from various causes including deodorants (specifically the white powdery kind that actually somewhat stops you from sweating), but this stuff never bothers me and works better.

        Seems like it has the same problem as Native in that it’s outrageously expensive.

      The crystal salt stuff is often an aluminum salt if I’m not mistaken, and its the same stuff in some commercial antiperspirants.
