How to Detox Your ArmPits – Say What!

5 Natural Deodorants

If you do not want to make your own then you can check out this brand from honeydewnaturals.com (I have no affiliation with any of these companies)
I did a quick check and these seem popular on the goodhousekeeping site. Shop online or at a good natural health store. If these are too expensive then I recommend trying to make your own.

Weleda $15

Totally devoid of all of the must-avoid ingredients, Weleda's glass-bottled deodorant sprays (rose, citrus and sage) are third-party certified by various organizations including BDIH, NaTrue and Demeter, and the company is a signer of the Campaign for Safe Cosmetics Pact.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /> Rose is said to be a natural antibacterial and in an unscientific trial seemed to be the most effective of the three Weleda offerings for those hot and sweaty summer days. The lovely scents are an added bonus. It's not cheap ($15), but you get more bang for your buck than with comparably pure high-end products.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />

Erbavida (not of price but it’s not a cheap brand

Erbaviva's USDA certified organic spray contains remarkably few ingredients (the Lemon Sage is just organic grain alcohol and essential oils: organic lemon, sandalwood, organic patchouli and organic tea tree oil). The Lemon Sage works for men and women alike; Jasmine Grapefruit is better for the ladies.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /> It's missing all of the bad stuff, clearly pure and quite tough. The only downside? It's a bit pricey ($18).

Aubrey Organics $8.25

This Leaping Bunny-certified spray comes from a Campaign for Safe Cosmetics compact signer. The ingredients in Aubrey Calendula Blossom Natural Deodorant Spray ($8.25) are as good as its credentials (though it would be great if more of them were organic).<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /> It gets a very low hazard rating on The Environmental Working Group's Skin Deep Database. (If your natural deodorant gets a high hazard, check to see why. Brands that generically list their fragrance instead of spelling out which natural essential oils it contains always get a bad grade from the EWG because "fragrance" by itself could mean a synthetic, hormone-disrupting scent.)

Miessence $8.95

Whichever Miessence Roll-on Deodorant ($8.95) you choose (boy-friendlier Ancient Spice, girl-friendlier Tahitian Breeze or aroma-free), all come free of the very petrochemicals and aluminum salts you want to avoid by buying a natural deodorant.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /> The company has signed the Compact for Safe Cosmetics, gets a very low hazard rating on the EWG's Skin Deep database, is on the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals' (PETA) "does not test on animals" list, and is a Biological Farmers of Australia-registered product. All very reassuring.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /> Even better? Style, Naturally author Summer Rayne Oakes (a 2009 Heart of Green Award winner) weighs in on its effectiveness in her book. The verdict? It's long-lasting.

Lafe’s $7.99

Lafe's Organic Baby Mother to Be Deodorant Spray ($7.99) is so pure, the Environmental Working Group gives it a zero hazard rating. It only contains purified water, organic aloe vera extract and mineral salts. It can also be used as a foot spray.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /> For those interested in different scents or roll-ons, Lafe's offers other choices including hemp sticks and five varieties of roll-ons, as well as crystal sticks and stones. A quibble: although the company has signed the Compact for Safe Cosmetics, they're currently considered "non-compliant" because they haven't yet fully listed all of their ingredients on product labels.
