Hello - I have done a bit of consumer research on the topic of effective natural deodorants, as I have worked in health food shops for many years. I've also tried almost all of them over time. I've found the best deodorant is a crystal deodorant called the body crystal spray - I've tried all the other brands, but that one really works well.

One problem is that if you have been using aluminium and chemical deodorants long-term, your body will take a few weeks to detox and readjust, and you may be a bit smellier for a week or so, no matter how good your natural deodorant is. Because aluminium blocks your pores and prevents sweating, it is detrimental to your body's natural detoxification processes, hence the rebound sweating/odour when you stop using them. It is worth persevering, you'll find that you will actually smell less and less over time.
