I tried toms of maine once, but it made the skin peel off as well. It must be the propylene glycol or glyceryl laurate. Not to put down Tom's, at least it doesn't contain aluminum. I started trying to avoid that a few years back when I read an article in a medical journal about how they'd find aluminum in the brains of people who had altzeimers postmoderm. They stated that they couldn't figure out how it got there though lmfao. Gee I wonder....
Anyways, flame...if rumford baking soda isn't strong enough (arm and hammer has aluminum, although they don't list it on the label), then you could try a crystal deodorant. I've used them before and they worked well, just kinda expensive by comparison(to baking soda, not to Toms).
It really sucks, almost everywhere else in developed world, companies have to list all ingredients on labels. In the US, they only have to list "active" ingredients. Like, for example, if you buy some ibuprofen, ibuprofen is the only listed ingredient. They don't bother listing the binder used in the tablets, even though some people are allergic to certain binders.
Btw, you can also use baking soda for shampoo. As for soap, yardley's is by far the best and cheapest store brand I've found.
