Thanks for the great recommendation, Lori. I missed the Trader Joe’s cotton deodorant boat, they stopped making it as soon as I discovered it. I’ve been looking for an aluminum-free deodorant stone, and this sounds like one I shouldn’t miss. My current saving grace has been Tom’s 24-hour “mountain spring” deodorant.

I have used a Deodorant Stones of America salt block type stone for several years now. Love it, Love it, Love it. And it has lasted for about a year it seems. The company is probably out of business because the stones last so long. Cost more but what a bargain. Have to give it maybe a week at first but I haven’t smelled bad since. There’s no scent to it. The salts kill bacteria which causes body odor, the problem is just convincing my teenage daughter that she doesn’t need an antiperspirant.

I’ve been using the Jason brand (Melaleuca) and thought it was just okay for me. I’ve recently gone to Trader Joe’s (to pick up some excellent organic baked tofu…thanks Niki!) and have been using their unscented cotton deodorant for the past few days. Here’s where I’d like to point out that I just got back from my Body Pump class at Gold’s, and am quite pleased how that brand held up for me. I think I found a keeper that works well with my BOdy chemistry!

I’m glad you crossed over. It’s not smelly over here, just free of aluminum on the brain.
