Help me find a new deodorant that doesn’t make me itch!

Please?
Have tried Akt, Pit Rok, that blue Japanese sounding one from supermarkets, Wild, Sanex (had the most luck with that until recently) and a few other more natural ones I can’t think of offhand, all of them make me itch after a while and I develop a nasty rash. I’m not particularly sweaty and would love one that has less nasty stuff in it. Everything from a supermarket makes me react. I loved Akt and used it for ages until randomly one day I reacted to it. I wouldn’t bother with it at all but perimenopause, so au naturel is out.
My underarms thank you in advance.

Bionsen worked for me too apart from the hottest of days. I’m now a total convert to salt of the earth. The crystal one, not the roll on or spray, just the lump of salt. I find it so hard to find deodorant that doesn’t irritate my skin, really hope this one doesn’t eventually too but it has been years now

I've been using Salt of the Earth crystal deodorant for years and it really works. It doesn't stop the sweating, but it keeps my pits odour free all day and one stick lasts for ever. If you shave your pits, make sure you wait a wee while before applying though, as it will sting like the very Devil.

I’ve now tried the Dove Whole Body Deo which gets 68/100 on Yuka and doesn’t appear to have bicarb either. So far, so good.
Thanks for the suggestions! I have others now to try if this starts to make me itch!

If that doesn't work try the Ineos range (just started selling on ocado), I'm allergic to loads of things, especially anything highly scented, but been alright with those, they seem to use essential oils to perfume them. Used to use soft and gentle but suddenly started with an itchy rash with them🤷
