Aluminum-free deodorants, which ones really work?????

Aluminiumfreie Deos, welche wirken denn nun wirklich?????

I would have liked to know if there really is an aluminum-free deodorant that really works!
For years I only used aluminum-free deodorant because I knew that the others weren't necessarily that good for me. Unfortunately, I then accepted that it didn't really last and that my clothes could never be properly freed from sweat even after washing, because most things can't be washed at 60 degrees.
I have now capitulated. Who of you has any tips? Because every time I try one without aluminum, I have the same experience.

Hello honeybee

When washing at low temperatures, you should use half the amount of vinegar essence instead of fabric softener and let the laundry dry in the open air whenever possible. This way you can wash and dry cheaply and efficiently and achieve better results than with special (expensive) detergent and the tumble dryer.

Logically, aluminum-free deodorants don't last as long, which is in the nature of things, as they tend to be washed out of the pores with the sweat. This is exactly what the aluminum prevents, because it permanently clogs the pores and thus reduces natural perspiration. However, the aluminum is already partially oxidized in the body, which can be harmful to health and even carcinogenic.

You are doing yourself a favor by not bathing or showering extensively every day, so that the natural oiliness of the skin remains guaranteed and does not dry out or become brittle. This doesn't necessarily make you dirty or yuck, the body's own protective layer is a natural defense mechanism that should be preserved. Daily cleansing can also be less invasive by using the so-called "cat wash" with a damp washcloth more often. This ensures hygiene until the next bath. It is also beneficial to your health and very beneficial if you add baking soda to the less frequent full bath.

Good morning. I have been using WELEDA for years. As I have very sensitive skin, I wash myself daily with two different soaps and salt sole. So this aluminum-free product works very well.

Thanks for the tip....salt sole, what do you mean....where do you get that? or is it just water with salt???? And the soaps are just natural soaps???

Salt sole is easy to make: Take Himalya bath salt and mix it with low-mineral water in a glass. This creates an automatic 26° salt sole. Soaps Pre-wash M Budget and afterwards with a gemstone soap. My skin is very well cared for despite massive stress. But such processes take time!!!

Causes of strong body odor from sweat include diet, mood, certain medications, illnesses and hormones. Foods with a high sulphur content such as onions, garlic and eggs can affect body odor. Drinks containing caffeine promote the production of sweat. Red meat contains toxins that lead to body odor. Refined oils, refined sugars and refined starch products (e.g. white flour) can intensify body odor. http://hausmittelhexe.com

Thanks for the numerous tips... I've already tried the vinegar in the washing machine, of course, but I just don't like the smell...
But I can also see from the other answers that it's not that easy with aluminum-free deodorants. I will continue to keep an eye out and try out different methods.
I also think ivan92's comment about nutrition is good, because healthy food and a healthy lifestyle are of course also part of it. You just shouldn't overdo it.

Hello honeybee

A few drops of scented oil in the vinegar essence can dispel the odor when washing. :-)

Basically, you have to differentiate between deodorants and antiperspirants, because the latter always contain aluminum. It may help you better if you use a roll-on, powder or cream instead of a spray deodorant.
However, there is another alternative, namely coconut oil. If some of it is applied to the armpits and behind the ears, it usually works for quite a long time against sweat odor. According to my research, it should also work longer than a deodorant spray during sporting activities and as it is quickly absorbed by the skin, it should not leave any traces on clothing. You can also mix it with scented oils so that it smells like them and not neutral like without scented oil. It can also be mixed with baking soda if the skin is prone to irritation or rashes. However, everyone has to test this for themselves because there are many different skin types and everyone tends to sweat differently.

Another option would be powder, which comes closest to an antiperspirant in terms of duration of action. There are scented and neutral, i.e. non-scented varieties. Baby powder would also be suitable, if you can find one that doesn't smell like baby, that would probably be the easiest. Depending on your sensitivity, you can also easily make your own deodorant powder and control the dosage of ingredients yourself.
