Hey ladies,
My skin is SUPER sensitive now, especially my armpits! Any suggestions for a hypoallergenic deodorant?

    You could try crystal deodorant? I haven't actually used it myself for years but did use it as a teen and it worked surprisingly well.

    You probably need something aluminum free. I'm allergic to most metals, and the best one I've found is Arm & Hammer Essentials Unscented. I've tried Tom's, too, but it just didn't hold up for more than a few hours at a time. This one is strong enough to hold up all day and doesn't irritate my super sensitive skin.

    I started to use Toms something with lavender when my skin got super sensitive during my last pregnancy. I wasn't as effective for how stinky I would get but it was better than itchy peely pits.

    This! It's not masking my natural musk (ew) completely but it isn't making me itch like crazy.

    I use Trader Joe's brand. It's aluminum free and works really well.

    I just make my own. Mix 2-3T each of baking soda and cornstarch with about that much coconut oil until you get a consistency you like. I put mine in a little jar and apply a pea sized amount.

    I've been usin DH's old spice deodorant. It's not the classic smell but something like 'fresh scent'. It's aluminum free and works better than any womens deoderant I've tried.

    I love men's deodorant. It works SO much better than most womens brands. I used to use old spice when I played Fastpitch in hs cause the women's brands wouldn't hold up when I got super stinky!

    I pretty much do this too. I don't normally have cornstarch on hand, so it gets left out most of the time and then I stir in some essential oils for fragrance.

    Edit- For typo.

    I started using Lush deodorant. I really like the T'eo, but it's kind of powdery.

    When I am really active I use Lavilin (I have used the paste, but apparently there is a roll on). Whole Foods carries it. Theoretically you don't need to use it everyday (good for up to a week- all natural). Otherwise a crystal deodorant, the spray one with lavender.

    I tried toms and hated it. It didn't work for me. Kiss my face actually lasts.
