This French brand has been around for a quarter of a century and makes a healthy deodorant spray that actually works out of natural rock crystal Alum Stone and mint floral water. It soaks up moisture, inhibits the bacteria growth that causes odor, and is also great for protecting sensitive skin. Better still? It doesn’t leave a trace on clothes.
