Deoderant for Sensitive Skin???

[AverageJoe]

Most of the time, I'm in the "shaving" sections on here, but recently I'm having a skin rash from some Degree Anti-Persperant/Deoderant labeled "Non-Irritating". I usually use one of the Old Spice deoderants, but the blue coloring in it stains my white shirt armpit areas blue over time!! The OS doesn't seem to bother my skin.

Can any one with sensitive skin suggest a good deodorant that is clear or white and doesn't inflame your skin?? (and smells good too)

Thanks.

Alum block gets a good recommendation.

I can't find it right now, but there's a thread around here started by user "burnwood" on just this subject which might be helpful.

I can't use any of the stick based products anymore and after a long search and test period I found Aubrey Organics Men's Stock Natural Dry Herbal Pine Deodorant at Whole Foods Market which has been a god-send to me.

I have found there is something in the clear deoderants and antipersperant that makes be break out in a big red rash. I use Old Spice Red Zone deodrant now and have had no problem with staining. However, I aways wear an under**** when I wear a dress shirt (even in summer). It makes them look much better.

I know a lot of people who use Old Spice an no one has mentioned staining. How are you washing/ dry cleaning you shirts?

I use mitchum or arm and hammer (both clear gels in a variety of scents or unscented)

Speed Stick original deoderant.

Mitchum Unscented.. It's the only thing I can wear.. Oddly, though it says unscented, it does have a faint sandalwood scent to me.

I thought about this before posting...but hey I am not ashamed to admit it, so here goes. I have sensitive skin as well and many deoderants break me out. It was like a heat rash or something. I did a very simple thing that made it all go away. i shaved my under arm hair. Now the oder and wetness has gotten better and i do not break out any more. I am still using the same Suave for men deoderant. I hope this helps.

I just picked up some of this stuff, and it seems to be working well so far:

Lafe's Natural makes a variety of potassium alum roll-ons that I like. Right now I am using the unscented version with hemp oil and aloe and it is effective and easy on my skin. But as always ymmv.

Arm and Hammer deodorant works for me and I have sensitive skin too.

+1 although the natural stuff is getting harder and harder to find. It used to be my go to, smelled nice and citronella "ie" a nice compliment to the stuff thats a buck a puck (Williams)...

All the anti-perspirants have aluminium in them, and seem to give me itchiness and rashes. I switched over to Tom's of Maine deodorant a few years ago, and have never looked back. Really like the Calendula smell. Trader Joe's stocks the Unscented version, which is also pretty good.

Sure Max works for me, and my skin is very sensitive.

Try an alum block, that's the best.
Btw, don't use the same one as u use for your face.
