My doctor (holistic) recommended this deodorant. Since I also had a problem with heat rash this product stung quite a bit after application. The first few days I had to apply it more than once even though I shower daily. By the fifth day not only was my heat rash gone, I had no body order after a long, hot day. I now use it on other body parts that are subject to heat rash. No rash no sting. I gave it four stars because of the price. I found the ingredients on the box it came in. It is basicly alcohol, water and essential oils. Since most other (less effective) deodorants I have tried rely on essential oils, the effective ingredient must be good old alcohol. It kills bacteria, the cause of both rash and odor. Since I use it liberally I decided to try making my own. I didn't want to use rubbing alcohol as it contains toxic ingredients but I found that unflavored vodka is pure alcohol and water. Voila! I had two empty Waleda bottles that hold 100ml. I bought a 200ml bottle of cheap vodka for a little over two dollars. This brand was 40% alcohol by volume (80 proof) which proved to be a good ratio. Water keeps the alcohol from evaporating so fast and it has more time to work. Essential oils are pleasant but optional. They are available at health food stores. Lemon is good (just a few drops) and Tea tree or Lavender work well and are inexpensive. Thanks for the idea and the nice spray bottles Waleda, but I now have an excellent product that costs less than two dollars a bottle less than one fifth the cost. My doctor laughed when I told him that I now spray my body with vodka every morning.

Our entire family has used this product for about 16 years. It is from Switzerland, and smells wonderful! Even our little girl likes a spritz now and then... It works great, and truly controls odor without many of the chemicals found in other products.

This works great! I have very strong underarm odor and this keeps the odor at bay for at least 6 hours in winter. I was using Tom's and when I took off my shirt at the end of the day I could smell my underarm odor on the fabric. Not with Weleda. I take off my shirts and don't smell anything except Weleda. I am most impressed that it is aluminum free.

This was the most effective natural deodorant I've tried for short, lazy bursts of time. For 3-4 hours sitting at a desk, it was flawless. There was no smell whatsoever. Not even from the deodorant itself, which I liked. After 5 or 6 hours though, it needs to be re-applied. And because it's a spray it can be inconvenient to re-apply. I had to be someplace I could remove my shirt to spray it on correctly. I found that if I didn't re-apply it before it started to fail (around lunchtime) I needed to shower before I felt clean again. I couldn't just apply it later to neutralize the odor that developed.

One of the reviewers who gave it 5 starts noted that it worked well for up to 6 hours in winter. Unfortunately, it's summer now and it's not holding up so well for me. Especially on days when I'm outside more than a couple minutes, this deodorant is less effective than most of the others I've tried. I still like it for lazy days at home though.

PROS: Comes in an elegant glass bottle (that I love for some reason); Not too expensive; Lightly scented so you don't smell it after an hour or so; Works well for low-key, cool days.

CONS: Needs to be re-applied often; Alcohol-based so it burns if you don't shave very gently; Sprays on so it's not as convenient to re-apply as a roll-on; Doesn't neutralize odor after it develops.

I love the smell, and it does work well. I like to use it with a light dusting of powder. Remember this only takes care of the smell, not the sweat. You do need to use this several times a day, so it is kind of spendy.
