I'm worried about the aluminum in antiperspirant and want to quit using it, but want something in a deodorant or something else that will keep odor away all day and evening. Any ideas?

According to many homeopaths, aluminum from anti-perspirants can be absorbed into the system causing high levels in the body. A lot of people have started using Tea Tree Oil deodorants. Its a natural based deodorant that can be purchased in the health food store. Often there are other options available there.
None of these items prevents perspiration as well as anti-perspirants, but they do help with odor. Simple soap and water washes during your breaks will do the same thing. Dry well and use a favorite body powder to help with the dampness. Its not so hard to tuck a wash cloth and a small bar of soap in your purse or lunch pail.
Just taking anti-perspirant vacations on your days off helps too.

I use a Crystal Deodorant Stone from Deodorant Stones of America. Made from crystallised mineral salts. Rub on. It really works well. After a few months use I ran out, and had no odor problem for the week it took for the replacement to arrive.
I'll never use anything else
(I have no affilliation with them)

the crystal stones are aluminum salts. Some people don't know anything about chemistry... Anyway, I used either bacardi silver or vodka with essential oils added. Currently I am using Bacardi silver with lavender and peppermint. Find whatever works with your body chemistry. I am thinking that next time, I may try just a hint of chocolate.

I currently use Tom's Natural deodorant. A lot of deodorants have methylparaben in them and that ingredient is under scrutiny. Sometimes I just add drops of essential oils or spray a scented mist/cologne on.

there is absolutely no scientific evidence deodorant causes cancer, if that's what youre worried about. that rumor originated in a hoax email in the late 1990s and the rumor spread like crazy, to my knowledge there has ever been any credible scientific research suggesting that there is a link to breast cancer
