Deodorant that doesn’t wreck clothes

feel using the ‘natural’ deod’s are the right thing to do, for my body and the planet. I’ve tried both Wild and Fussy before and, I think, the Natural Deodorant- a paste in a jam jar. Problem with them all has been after a while my t-shirts, jumpers etc have greasy armpit stains which just won’t budge no matter what I do to wash them.
Maybe I’m applying too much product - I need 3 swipes otherwise I stink, badly. I’ve persevered with Wild for 4 months this time, so I should have purged my system, but the laundry problem is annoying. My green efforts are going the wrong direction with the ferocious but futile stain removal. Does anyone have same problem?

I use Salt of the Earth deodorant. It's really good but doesn't stop you sweating... it never stains clothes and is really effective. One stick has lasted me about 3 years.. until I dropped it on a hard surface and it broke in a way I couldn't keep using it!

I agree with the above suggestion. I have used salt crystal deodorant stones for years and they work brilliantly for me. I rub the crystal on wet armpits straight after a shower, there is no residue, oiliness or fragrance - it's just a salt.

I've used DrOrganics Tea Tree for years. It's a liquid roll on. It's antibacterial so I never smell. Does need a minute to dry before you put clothes on otherwise it rubs off (doesn't mark the clothes but becomes less effective). I really rate it as always feel clean and fresh.

I don't really like the dry sticks as I never feel like I'm putting anything on and it kind of drags the skin.
