Is cornstarch the same as cornflour? (Sorry I'm from the UK!)

Yes, cornflour is the same thing. Actually cornflour is a better word for it! (You just don't hear it much in North America).

Weleda Deodorant Spray, Wild Rose

Alcohol, Water (aqua), Fragrance (parfum from essential oils), Limonene (from essential oils), Linalool (from essential oils), Citronellol (from essential oils), Benzyl Alcohol (from essential oils), Benzyl Benzoate (from essential oils), Benzyl Salicylate (from essential oils), Geraniol (from essential oils), Citral (from essential oils), Eugenol (from essential oils), Farnesol (from essential oils), Rosa Moschata (Rosehip) Leaf Extract, Rosa Damascena (Bulgarian Rose) Flower Extract, Glycerin, Ammonium Glycyrrhizate

I think the ingredients in this are ok. The fragrance is kind of strong but I don't mind because it will mask that sweat smell.

They also have sage and citrus scents.

Dabbing Milk of Magnesia under your arms is supposed to be a natural odor killer. Not supposed to stain but I haven't tried it. I think I'll stick to my crystal.

Has anyone tried a baking soda free deodorant without the parabens, propylene glycol, aluminum, or any other harmful ingredients? I found one deodorant without baking soda, but good grief it turned out to be around $15 for a 2.5 ounce. I wouldn't mind paying that much if it turned out it worked, so I'm looking for opinions first.

I use a combination of liquid crystal deodorant and wild rose weleda. This was a stinky lesson for me.

I switched away from Secret Platinum about 10 years ago and tried just crystal, liquid crystal, Tom's, Weleda. I would sweat, and it would stink.

Then, I tried the combo of liquid crystal with wild rose weleda. I sweat but it doesn't stink. I can't just use one of those -- it has to be both -- and I'm not sure why.

I've ordered Zion Health Adama Minerals DryClay Deodorant Original Scent. I really hope it works. The price was under $10 with shipping, and it does not include baking soda, aluminum, or propylene glycol. Here are the ingredients:

Ingredients: Purified water, propanediol, aloe barbadensis leaf juice, sodium stearate, witch haxel distilate, calcium montmorillonite (kanwa clay), calendula extract, myrrh gum extract, alpine lichen extract, grapefruit seed extract, chamomile extract, lavender blend.

It does contain propanediol, but here is some stuff about that ingredient:

Anyone care to weigh in? I'm not a chemist by any means

I have used Bath and Body Works body spray in my armpits for the last few years and it works for me.

When I sweat it even leaves a nice scent in my clothes.

It also does not leave the white powdery residue on my clothes like regular deoderant.

If any of you buy Bath and Body Works spray, try it and 'smell' how it works for you.

I know it is not a deoderant but I have not gotten any complaints.
