There is a german baby buns lotion called "bebe" that my mom has been using as deodorant/antiperspirant for decades. I never knew why it worked so well until I read these few posts from y'all and ran to my toiletries cabinet to check and sure enough ! First ingredient listed is Zink !
What about the safety of using this considering the safe upper limits being stated to be only 15mg/per day. What do you all think? How great is the risk of Copper depletion/blocking due to high/higher Zink intake? I'm sure y'all have considered this carefully. Just wondering how you determined it was safe?

During the winter months it could last for between 2-3 weeks but during heavy prespiration in the summer I have to apply it every 2-3 days.Lavilin Arm Deodorant, 12.5 grams What brand of ointment do you buy and where can one get it? I never thought of trying a plain zinc oxide ointment but it should be cheaper than the "lavilin" thats sold specificly for underarm use.
