Aluminum chlorohydrate, parabens, propylene glycol, triclosan: these are the usual suspects that make up most drugstore-brand deodorants. Possible side effects: breast cancer, contact dermatitis, liver damage along with a laundry-list of others just as concerning. The solution: Schmidt's natural deodorant.

Before you roll your eyes and discount it as another all-natural product that won't actually work as well as your Doves and your Old Spices, head over to Wild Ginger Apothecary and take a whiff. Even better, take a swipe. 

Schmidt's combines health-conscious ingredients with spellbinding scents and, most importantly, an award-winning formula that effectively neutralizes odor and wetness. With Schmidt's sticks, you can go from your morning workout to the office to happy hour without reapplying. Even better, the scents deviate from the traditional "shower fresh." Try the lavender sage or the cedarwood juniper. For those of you with easily irritated skin, Wild Ginger just received a shipment of the new sensitive skin stick in tea tree, geranium and fragrance-free.
