Arm and Hammer Essentials Natural Deodorant

Arm and Hammer began selling an all natural deodorant several months ago. It is free of the parabens and aluminum of most deodorants. This product is a deodorant, to control odor, not necessarily an anti-perspirant which is meant to prevent wetness.

While it applies smoothly and smells good, it leaves a substantial white powdery residue on clothing. In addition, it is not very effective at controlling odor. It must be reapplied frequently in order to control odor and even then it isn't very effective. While an excellent idea, this product seems to be best for those who do not sweat.

This product is available in scented and unscented versions, a 2.5 ounce container retails for less than $5.00 in most areas.

Fresh Scent Version:
Ingredients: Dipropylene Glycol, Water, Propylene Glycol, Sodium Stearate, Sodium Bicarbonate (Baking Soda), Coriandrum Sativum (Coriander) Fruit Oil, Rosmarinus Officinalis (Rosemary) Leaf Oil, Lavandula Hybrida (Lavandula) Oil, Fragrance, Triclosan, Terasodium EDTA, Allantoin.
