I like Essensia Naturals, it's the first natural deodorant I've tried that leaves me with no BO at all at the end of the day. I don't know how it works but I no longer have to shower after work before going to dinner. The scent is very ligh and doesn't make me smell girly either. Love it!

I'll definitely have to try some of these! I've had several serious autoimmune diseases since I was in my early twenties, and have often wondered if various environmental factors could have triggered or worsened them.

Having natural personal care is definitely important, and there are natural/organic deodorants out there (as mentioned in this article), personally I like the ones at Alloit: http://www.alloit.com/search?category=&section=&sub_category=&tot=12&sea...

Making (anything) your own is great, but some of us just don't have the time or patience.

Crystal deodorants are raw bauxite, which is the mineral they use to make aluminum. So crystal deodorants are NOT aluminum free and are toxic so not a green choice

Aluminum does not cause Alzheimers. The aluminum found in Alz patients' brains was a result of their disease, not a cause. Look it up. Please. You all stink.

The 'greenest' is to simply use baking soda. I've used it for years & it works just fine. I put it in a shaker bottle, like the ones for parmesan cheese.
