The range of items we can become obsessed with in the quest to find that ‘perfect’ something can run the gamut of the sublime to the ridiculous. For me it’s natural deodorant. In my endeavors to keep my pits smelling pretty I’ve tried everything from a solid alum crystal (effective deodorizers because of the high salt/crystal content which is an odor absorber), to powder and everything in between. Generally, ingredients such as baking soda, sodium sodium bicarbonate, sodium chloride and cornstarch powder are good odor blockers, but I’ve yet to find one that is an effective antiperspirant. Here’s my round-up of the best so far, and if anyone has any they’ve tried and would love to add to the mix, please share!
