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.

The arm and hammer deodorant I got says it's aluminum-free.

The other arm and hammer products I saw in the store didn't say anything about being aluminum-free, so I assume they have it.

It's strange. This whole deodorant thing started for me because I didn't like the scent of one and I was becoming concerned how some of them were staining my white undershirts. I guess the days of me just buying whatever deodorant are on sale are over for me.

I'll give the arm and hammer I got a trial run. So long as it keeps me from smelling and it doesn't stain my clothes, I'll be happy with it.

The next time I need to buy soap and shampoo, I'll take a look into trying out your other recommendations.
