Deodorants: Can Carbon Chemistry Win Over Silicones?

Last update on Feb 17, 2016

*In 2011 when I first investigated natural alternatives to silicone chemistry I focused on aesthetics and found a range of esters and vegetable oil derivatives that delivered very similar levels of gloss, spread-ability and volatility to their equivalent silicone fluids. Things haven't changed so much in that regard over the last five years other than there now being a greater range on offer from a larger range of manufacturers. However, what has struck me this time is gap that exists between niche silicone applications and their carbon based equivalents and there's nowhere this is more important than under your armpit!
