I use Salt of the earth no marks and no smell. Works for me and healthy for your skin .

I find the crystal ones great (Pitrok). They do need changing every 4 months or so.

Hate perfumed deodorant Pamaga , has to be unperfumed for me too.

although it's not an anti-perspirant, just a deodorant. if you're not much of a sweater it should be fine

Oops sorry Indinana not Indiana - fat fingers and wonky eyes! x

Indiana, the one you used sounds like the one I am recommending. I have fairly sensitive skin and (so far) have had no rashes or break-outs.

Has to be anti perspirant for me, not that I sweat much, just can't bear wet marks on my clothes.

Another vote for the Mitchum roll on here.

Some years ago I used a natural crystal deodorant which never left marks. You just wet the crystal and wipe it on your underarms - very new age, but it really worked. After about a year, though, I began to get a rash so I stopped using it. On reflection, I guess I should have just bought a new one - maybe the properties of the crystal change after a lot of use, who knows?

Mitchum stick deodorant unscented - perfect. No white marks and will last days if you want it to.

Over the years I have tried, without success, to find a deodorant or anti perspirant that doesn't leave white marks on dark clothing. Despite the claims of many manufacturers that their products worked, I found they didn't . My DD told me that her partner used Salt of the Earth Classic deodorant stick so I decided to try it. I love it: I never normally recommend products or services to people because what suits me may not suit others but I have to endorse this. It is not animal tested and is suitable for vegetarians and vegans. It may seem expensive but it lasts ages. Some may dislike the fact it is unscented but, to me, this is an advantage because I can use my favourite perfumes without any scent clashes! Holland and Barrett sell this or you can buy online.
