Brand new…. I didn’t expect my deodorant to have more air than a bag of chips… won’t be getting this again.

I have some arm and hammer deodorant, it's all there. I use arm and hammer as my weekday deodorant and dr squatch on the weekends and I've ran out of a stick of dr squatch before arm and hammer.

Arm and hammer essentials is best non aluminum. Smells divine too.

As far as I know there are no anti-perspirants that don't contain aluminum. I can't do deodorant alone.

Aluminum being potentially cancer causing is a myth. You should absolutely buy antiperspirant with it as it's most effective against fighting sweat.

I like Arm & Hammer Ultra Max antiperspirant. I have sensitive skin and it doesn't give me a rash, fights sweat really well and only costs like $6 for a 2 pack.

Its not the cancer, its the fact that it absolutely ruins the armpits of every shirt after 2-3 wears. As much as I know im getting scammed by Squatch, it doesnt destroy my nicer (especially white) shirts.

There's nothing wrong with deoderant that contains aluminum. It's never been shown to be harmful.

I was wondering about this. I have found zero actual scientific proof that it's harmful just a lot of propaganda. Wonder if it's like the hormone scam of the last 50 plus years telling women suffer through menopause because hormones cause cancer only to have the warning removed in 2026 and the pharmacies running out of stock. What's the motivation here? Is it cheaper to make without aluminum? There has to be some monetary reason everyone has jumped on the anti-aluminum band wagon..

Nah it's clogs your pores and seeps into your shirts and turns them yellow. I'm with the other guy, Arm & Hammer essentials for summer sweats, Speed Stick for the other 9 months. And I sweat A LOT.

Everything Unilever and P&G touch turns to shit. I work in RMN for CPG, trust me. Everything is 300-700% markup then reduced 25%-50% for sales made with the cheapest possible products.

I personally dont like it cause it stains my dress shirts over time… think the arm & hammer has baking soda instead which keeps me from sweating (prob not as good but yeah) and doesnt stain

FYI all deodorant that is not antiperspirant is aluminum free.

I'm the same way, been using the A+H sport for years and its gone up a bit in price (I remember when it was 1.99 sometimes $1) but it's still by far the best for your money out there. My partner uses the deodorant-only one the previous comment mentioned and I can confirm it does smell amazing, I steal it to freshen up sometimes.

The aluminum is the sole ingredient for anti perspirants. So that “no aluminum” advertising is pretty much saying “this is plain ole deodorant”
