Just when you though you'd heard everything about natural deodorant, I have an update. I was running out of the Tom's (24 hour no propylene glycol) and was thinking about picking up more when...it failed. To give Tom some credit, it had been a super long day complete with building a desk from scratch and heavy sweating caused by almost passing out from the hole I drilled in my thumb (see previous post). I should have reapplied, but instead I went straight to the first ladies night out in 6 months. A great place for the deodorant to fail, a room packed with 50 ladies I don't know who now think I usually smell like
B.O.. Nice. Thanks Tom.
It could be that even the best deodorant would have filed on such a day though, so I'm giving Tom another chance with his other recipe. This time I got the clear roll on 24 hour citrus liquid. It has potassium alum and zinc and seems to be working well so far. I will let you know if there is a part 3.
One more thing I forgot to mention... One time I was visiting with friends and wanted to be extra fresh. So I thought, "If baking soda works and that crystal rock thing works, why not combine them for twice the stink fighting power?" Let me tell you, my friends, this is not a good idea. The combination immediately began to make a very strong ammonia cloud waft out of my armpits. Apparently the two chemicals make ammonia. Who knew?
