This feels wrong posting this here, but I could not find a sub to do this in, so feel free to point me in the right direction.

My dad is an Old Spice Guy, I am an Old Spice Guy, but I am done with P&G and what I think is poisonous and wasteful products.

I am looking for recommendations for organic safe healthy body washes, lotions for dry dark skin and deodorants. I've not had to look for anything other brands for over 25 years, so this feels overwhelming. I just tried Native, and that won't work, so, please, any directions to point me to?

Thanks.

There’s these sort of crystal things you can use instead of deodorant. You rub them on your pits when they wet and they don’t produce any smell but block the bad ones. I used one for a while, it was good.

potassium alum. It’s what I use, but you have to use it every day and you have to rinse the rock off when you’re done applying it or, you’re just breeding resistant bacteria no wiping it on your pits every day
