re: the aluminum salts
I hate that its become harder and harder to find antiperspirants as people have become more concerned with the negative health effects of the aluminum salts. I'd switch immediately to another type of antiperspirant but companies have just stopped selling them at all together rather than coming up with an alternative
I'm not even that sweaty of a person but regular deoderant doesn't work well for me
You could try a natural deodorant with baking soda instead. It should provide a similar effect. My skin reacts badly to aluminium salts and "normal" deodorants can barely keep me smell-free until lunch. A natural deodorant with baking soda has though worked absolute wonders. If you're coming from antiperspirants there may be a starting phase where your body gets used to not having the aluminium blocking the glands, but that'll subside after approx. 2 weeks.
Baking soda can be very harsh on some people's skin. I am violently intolerant of aluminum salts and slightly sensitive to BS. It really is true for many people that if you stick out a "natural" deodorant for an awkward 2-4 weeks you really don't sweat as much or smell bad.
Oh that's good to know! I'll give that a try as I do worry about the aluminum, thanks!
