a Tom's of Maine representative noted that everyone's skin has different reactions to different products.
"We’re so sorry to hear about your experience with our deodorant. It’s rare we hear this and difficult to say which ingredient may have caused the rash or if it was a combination of ingredients," the statement said. "As with any skincare product or deodorant/antiperspirant, be it natural or conventional, irritation can result among some people.
When I'm looking for something scented, I've also started opting for Old Spice deodorant . It's not natural and it doesn't stop you from sweating, but it is aluminum-free, and it smells pretty great. Thisis a good one if you want to slowly transition away from antiperspirant but don't want to abandon your traditional perfume-y scent.
Ultimately, how you smell is a personal choice. The obsession we have with smelling “nice” is absolutely a social construct; our bodies' natural scents should be fine, but this is one social construct that I still subscribe to. And of course, what works or doesn't work for me might not have the same result for you. You can stop using deodorant altogether, or you can stick with whatever antiperspirant you've used forever.

brittneymac15 Did you hear me in my bathroom last night rubbing a crystal under my armpits thinking “I wonder if this works... I wish teen vogue would do an informational article on alternative deodorants...”
brittneymac15 If you enjoy swiping your pits 20 times with a crystal for deodorant effect, more power to you. But 'mineral salt' is a chemical, and just because it's natural doesn't make it superior. Aluminum is a natural product as well.
brittneymac15 As long as we're empowering young women can we not BS them with anti-science, fearmongering terms like 'chemical-free'? That's a big ol' block of KAl(SO)2 you're sticking in your pits and the Al stands for aluminum. And hey, go ahead and use it fearlessly.
brittneymac15 Just wait until you hear about Liquid Rock.
I just want a natural deodorant that doesn't turn the armpits of my shirts black.
