Aluminum Free Deodorant with no stink...

Health is very important to me.  It is so important to take care of our bodies and our minds.  I have a history of cancer in my family so I try my best to use products that aren't putting more chemicals into my body.  I finally gave up anti-perspirant and deodorant with aluminum a couple of years ago and found that I got really sweaty and stinky.  It took me a couple of years to find one that covered up the stink.  It's a tough one because being an actress, you can be unusually close to someone for hours at a time. Plus nervous sweats.  Plus running around for 12 hours in 40 degree heat.  This needs some serious coverage.  I have tried all of these brands and found ONE to be the best.  These are my opinions only and am not being paid or sponsored for the reviews.  Do you have one that is your favourite??

​Kaia Naturals - The Takesumi Detox

Ingredients:  Aqua, Propanediol, Glycerin, Maranta Arundinacea (Arrowroot) Root Powder, Sodium Stearate, Silica, Saccharomyces Ferment, Benzyl Alcohol, Salicylic Acid, Glycerin, Sorbic Acid, Eucalyptus Globulus Leaf Oil, Cinnamomum Camphora (Camphor White) Bark Oil, Allantoin, Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice, Magnesium Hydroxide, Carbo Activatus (Activated Charcoal).

This was the first one I tried.  I bought the travel size because I wasn't really sure if it would work or not.  I'm not sure if I was especially stinky because this was the very first one I tried and was still in detox mode but I used it for about a month and still stinky.  Cost was $10 USD for the travel size.  I give it a 3/5 rating.
