disappointed [SEP] i had high hopes for this deodorant but it has not worked well for me i quit using aluminum based deodorants several years ago because they irritate my armpits i tried several natural deodorants but none worked i eventually discovered deodorants with baking soda and those worked well they can be a little irritating when i first put them on which is the reason i decided to try this magnesium deodorant it is not irritating at all unfortunately it is not very reliable it works on some days but not others i had to buy some more of my trusty baking soda deodorant to use on days when i do not want to take any chances i will use up the raw earth deodorant but will not buy any more
