Gentle deodorants for little kids?

DD, who is 6, has got stinky armpits! I googled it and apparently the maturation of the sweat glands (adrenarche) can happen anywhere from about 6 onwards... I imagined it would kick in at puberty but apparently it's earlier. So now I'm wondering if there is any deo that anyone could recommend that is good for sensitive skin, doesn't contain aluminium etc? Anyone had the same experience with their kid?

pitrock natural deoderant is good and will last for ever.

Same scenario here. I got a gentle one from Sainsbury's aimed at kids called so kind or so gentle. Also had a dove one without any nasties. I used both myself to see if they worked and they were pretty good!

I bought a shied soap (deodorising) too to wash her with , don't think that made a difference though x

Oh they look good, thank you! Good to see there's ones you can get without either alcohol or aluminium but they still work.
