Re: Question about Natural Deodorant

[Guest guest]

That's too bad to hear about your reaction! My husband and I have

both

been using the natural deodorant crystals for several months now, and

we realy find that it works well! Hmmm... if you cruise around the

internet I'm sure you'll find other brands of a similar product which

might not cause a reaction with your skin. I'm wondering though, for

how long did you use the product and had you shaved recently? I've

had

no problem using it immediately after shaving. However, I'm wondering

if it's possible that you were actually experiencing sort

of " withdrawal " symptoms from your previous deodorant. Since

deodorant

crystals don't clog pores, it's a lot like not wearing make-up after

wearing it for a long time... Depending on how long you tried the

crystal, and how severe the rash was, I might give it another try! Of

course, if it was a severe rash and you are prone to allergies, don't

take my advice! Good luck!

Don't some of those crystals contain naturally occuring aluminum? Would they

really be much safer than regular anti-perspirant?

Are they deodorants or anti-persperants? I would think an

anti-persperant would be bad for you no matter what it was made of.
