Redwin make one that works. You buy it at the supermarket or even at priceline. Its the same price as other deodorants, no aluminium and it works!!! Its comes in a natural spray pump as well.

Our chemist carries a new line called Natural Instinct which has a natural deodorant. It was not expensive, I bought it on Monday but have not used it yet. We have been using the Redwin one for years and there is also a roll on called Body Choice that you can also get at the supermarket.
If your supermarket doesn't carry aluminium free deodorants ask them to get them in.

i rarely use deodorant as i heard that aluminum ones are linked to breast cancer. I do knwo that the health food stores sell a crystal and you wet just the tip every time ya wanna use it and it lasts ages and its great my sis in law always uses this item well worth asking next time your at the shops hey

this has been a really helpful thread & just wanted to share my experiences on the deos

was really excited to try the MiEssence Tahitian Breeze as it has no nasty chemicals, but it left an uncomfortable sticky feeling

then I tried the Redwin spray, but found the fragrance overwhelming

then I found an alum free deo by Adidas, but was only available on ebay & discontinued by Adidas

and I'd previously tried a crystal stick, but didn't like the hassle of having to go to the bathroom & wet it first

then I found The Body Crystal range & think it's brilliant. I've been using the Botanica roll-on which is available in Coles. It has a large roller ball head so it's easy to apply & maybe because it's a roll-on the crystals have better staying power as the skin is coated. I'd always sweated a lot, but have now realised my body was sweating out the aluminium/chemical laden deos I had always used. And I also make sure I let it dry completely before getting dressed, which I think has helped.

I use a all natural deodorant from sustainable hemp I find the fragrances are pleasant and not too over powering, you do need to re-apply at least once during the day... but that's not such a bad thing when you consider what the aluminium based ones can do to you in the long run
