Yes, I had the same reaction to the stones, crystal, and also to all commercial deodorants: break out in a red rash after a few days use. Then I found that I could make an excellent deodorant from GSE (Grapefruit Seed Extract). I fill a spray bottle with about one fifth GSE and four fifths distilled water. You may have to experiment a bit to find the best ratio for you. Shake it up to dissolve the GSE in the water. It should foam a little at the top, otherwise it is too weak. Then spray it on and massage it into the skin. I have been using this for several years with no allergic reaction. In fact, I think it has kept my underarms healthier than they would otherwise have been.

I didn't believe it, but I checked it some years ago. Justj look at the ingredients don't assume that they are all natural. In addition, the stone is super if you can use it, but after a few weeks, I become allergic and it breaks my underarms out. But even plain baking soda breaks myt underarms out after two days. G
