What deodorant brands out there do NOT contain aluminum zirconium?

All my t-shirts eventually get darkish stains in the armpit area and I think it%26#039;s because of my deodorant. I read that aluminum zirconium, the main ingredient of the deodorants I use, can cause this staining. At the grocery store it seems like all the deodorants on the shelves contain that stuff. Are there brands out there that don%26#039;t have aluminum zirconium but still work well as anti-perspirants??

What deodorant brands out there do NOT contain aluminum zirconium?
you could try to use these that is supposed to help reduce or stop sweating for a week at a time... and you only have to use it one night a week:

you can also find it on Ebay.





then if the product works for you in reducing/eliminating sweat, maybe for assurance there will be no odor, for the rest of the week try using one of those crystal rock deodorants. Here are some on Amazon.com and you can read the reviews:

if that doesn%26#039;t work for you, you can always get those sweat guards that are disposable and you stick them onto the armpit area of your clothing.





these are supposed to work even if you sweat heavily:

and these are if you sweat normally but have those once in a while times where you sweat more (like when really nervous) or for those who want to protect their clothing from getting underarm stains:

I say the second one is not if you sweat heavily just because I was doing a search for my uncle who has hyperhidrosis (he sweats soooo much, even when it is cold and snowing outside!) and I was looking for them on Ebay and one seller said its not for persons who sweat heavily. The first ones worked ok for my uncle though. But he sweats soooo much that he did have to put new ones on after like a half a day.
Reply:Unfortunately, aluminum and zirconium are active ingredients in all antiperspirants. Try arm and hammer deodorant, as it has baking soda in it to help absorb the smell. Deodorants aren%26#039;t the same as antiperspirants. Antiperspirants stop you from sweating and smelling, deodorants stop you from smelling.
Reply:Most deoderants do not contain this chemical which some have also linked to breast cancer. Anti-perspirants, however, most all, contain it. Anti-perspirants make you actually stop sweating wherever it is applied while deoderants are just a smell to mask the smell of perspiration in the armpits. If you use anti-perspirants, you will just sweat in another area of your body...like your butt.
Reply:Tom%26#039;s of Maine. Unfortunately they don%26#039;t keep you dry and they don%26#039;t keep you smelling good. Basically no reason at all to buy it.
Reply:If you don%26#039;t live in an overly humid climate believe it or not milk of magnesia can help. Phillip%26#039;s sells a mint type it works for some people it depends on your body chemistry. However, antiperspirants can be dangerous because you are supposed to perspire which is natural.
Reply:try herbal clear, it%26#039;s all natural...and doesn%26#039;t leave white stuff either....it%26#039;s in yellow casing. they sell it at target for like 2.00





it DOES NOT contain aluminum and zirconium
Reply:Actually, to the person above, Arm and Hammer antiperspirant does have aluminum zircomium in it. Basically, any anti-perspirant does. Most deodorant%26#039;s don%26#039;t, so you use that if all you are worried about it smelling fresh. If you have a problem with a lot of sweating, however, I would go to a health food store and see if they carry any all natural anti-perspirants.
