I dont think deodorants affect your skin , if they did they would be banned. i dont believe big companies such as Nivea ,axe and more would make a product that unsafe for your body. if you have allergy from it yes its unsafe but otherwise its not

Um...Yes, although I heard that they are not sold in Korea, because they do not stink, so if you suddenly decide to go to Korea, and in general in Asia, take your own.

I do, I know they don't use them at all in Korea, so whoever uses them there and goes to Korea, take them with you

If yes, how safe is the deodorant? I realized sometimes ago that what we rub on our skin/body eventually get absorbed into the body, and I decided to be careful with the kind of things I rub on my body.   In my opinion, if it's not safe for consumption/eating don't rub it on your skin.
I think it would be better to use the natural alternatives, but where can we get those from? Do you know of any that's very effective and safe?

I use deodorant because i don't want anyone have a bad smell from me but i am not sure if its save. Once a child was playing with deodorant bottle and accidentally deodorant went in his nose. He got cough and got major illness. I think we should use it carefully and keep it out of range from children

Citrus or lime is a good alternative and potassium aluminum sulfate or Alum is widely used in our country and this is the one I'm using, I also do not consider using deodorant because of the many harmful chemicals on it, Citrus and Alum last for 48 hours and stop perspiration also.

Um, yes, but it's better to use crystal, it's not harmful to the skin and lasts a long time.

What crystal exactly? Could you be more specific. Guess what showed up when i Googled "crystal deodorant", it's similar to the factory-made product packaged in fancy bottle I stopped using months ago. I really prefer it in its natural form and it should be fairly easy to obtain locally.
For now, I'll stick to the tree sap and some aloe vera... They both meet my standard. Besides, both are from living things and can be replicated in lots of places, especially at home.

of course, the best natural deo is crystal
What kind of crystal exactly? You mean natural Potassium alum, product made of potassium alum or something else I don't know about? If it''s natural and safe, I'll probably give it a try. For now, I will depend more on frankincense/myrrh, and once in a while on aloe vera. Depending more on aloe vera not very sustainable for me. Wish it can easily regrow after plucking part of the plant.   And we really need to becareful how we treat those plants

My skin is very sensitive, so when I use deodorant a few times I get irritated. Therefore I tried to find another natural alternative, after I read many
articles on the internet. We can use aloe vera instead of deodorant, aloe vera plant is very much in my country. That's why I use aloe vera
instead of deodorant, Aloe vera can eliminate body odor because of its anti-bacterial and anti-microbial. Then most importantly aloe vera is
safe to use on sensitive skin.

I didn't know that. Thanks for sharing, I'll give aloe vera a try.

Very interesting. Will definitely try it. Luckily we have the plant in our home and I even drank the juice this morning.
Will be so glad if that really works
Used Aloe Vera yesterday and it works really well for me. Just hope the tiny armpit creatures don't get resistant to it. Will probably try alum too someday to see if can be good antiperspirant.
 Thanks to shasha80 for sharing.

I'm happy if my suggestions can help your problem, I only tell what I know and use. Because sensitive skin like me, It's not easy to find suitable
ingredients that don't cause irritation. but as long as I use aloe vera no side effects appear. There was once who suggested using alum,
but after i use it a few times it makes my skin dry and irritated. Unfortunately I am not suitable for using alum, I hope your skin is suitable
for alum, because like I said my skin is very sensitive.


Thanks for the aloe vera suggestion once more. It's actually part of my safe options.
Currently trying Myrrh/Frankincense(mixed in some of the tree's bark), both are actually working beyond my expectations... Still need some work to do to determine how safe they are.

Will try grinding them together and rubbing them in powdery form. I currently use them in their "crude form".

I can recommend herbal products. I, like you, have concerns about the use of such products. You will be satisfied with the products you will obtain from the places that sell organic products.

I think that any self-respecting person uses deodorant. otherwise, you will smell like a sick dog. just pick the deodorant that works best for you. and I also recommend changing deodorants, then the body does not get used to them and the deodorant does its job better. after all, we are not living in the 18th century, let's smell delicious, not stink like a trash can

You can make use of the under listed as pure and natural remedies to using deodorant
Lemon juice
Baking soda
Alcohol
Essential oil

For further readings, you can click on the link source below

Ofcourse, I'm aware that combining certain natural substances together like those you listed may help , but I try to limit this to one or very few safe substances for the sake of simplicity and to list things that are common or readily available in the countries of most/all readers.
I actually saw videos that recommended lemon, baking soda, plus multiple mixtures, I didn't consider them very much due to issue simplicity, availability and safety also.

Has anyone tried myrrh? ...Myrrh is natural substance that is extracted from trees. Currently using it and it seems to be working... I'm not sure if it's something else though or just the myrrh.
One interesting thing about myrrh is that some claim it's edible. I learnt months ago that in ancient times people put them in their wine, use it for medicine etc. Will need to use it for sometimes to be sure it's the myrrh wrorking and not something else

I don't use usually. But unless i sweat. Because things we eat effects our smell of sweat.

Deodorant won't work if you eat pastirma (Turkish pastrami).
lol even you don't sweat yet there will be a Body odor underarms so it is necessary to put anti body odor either natural or chemically but what is important that we don't smell bad when getting close to others.
