Yeah, I’ve long given up on natural deodorants. The culprit is likely bicarb soda, essential oils, or alcohol. All are irritants.

I’m currently using Mum antiperspirant which works better than other female antiperspirants and less strong smelling but still not a fan of the floral scent. Also I find ones that are good at preventing wetness are not great at preventing smell, and vice versa.

With the Rexona I ordered one of the ‘pure’ (which still has fragrance) and one of the men’s scent to let’s see whether they’re any good.
