Pwcca, maybe what I do may help you--i'ts worth a try

I first use a stick deoderant by Nature's Gate brand-- that is all herbal- with none of the aluminum, or chemicals.

I may also use an herbal pump spray - Waleda has a Sage /witch Hazel, etc., herbal deoderant spray. There is another company I found that sells a really nice smelling deoderant spray with only essential oils. Otherwise, I will apply my favorite essential oil under my arms, after applying the all natural stick deoderant.

Now if I just want to stay dry and clean smelling-- with no essential oils under the arm-- I will just use the all natural stick deoderant and buff on baking soda afterwards.

I won't use an anti-perspirant because I figure that blocking pores and sweat glands can't be all that good for a person in the long run.

~~ just my 2 cents worth on what works for me
