\"\"<\/a>“Oh by the way,” I said to Mr. Chattering this morning as he was putting on his socks, “When the time comes, don’t take Chattering Son Number One off to the drugstore to buy him a commercial deodorant.”<\/p>\n

“What, my<\/em> Brut<\/a> can’t be his<\/em> Brut?” said Mr. Chattering, looking shocked. I think Mr. Chattering’s father<\/em> uses Brut too.<\/p>\n

“Your Brut no doubt has chemicals<\/a> in it that I’d rather not expose our son to,” I said. “Why get him started<\/a>?”<\/p>\n

Actually, upon researching Brut Cologne deodorant<\/a> online, I see that I owe Mr. C. and the whole Faberge company an apology. Brut lacks<\/em> the controversial ingredient aluminum linked by some natural health folks<\/a> to everything from breast cancer to Alzheimer’s. Brut merely contains denatured alcohol, water, propylene glycol, sodium stearate, fragrance, green 5, and yellow coloring.<\/p>\n

Even so, wouldn’t you rather rub something else in your delicate underarm for the next fifty years? <\/p>\n

I’m using Orjene’s<\/a> Garden Fresh Herbal Deodorant Stick now, but have also used Nature’s Gate Deodorant Stick<\/a> to good effect (at least I have received no complaints). The Thai salt crystal<\/a> stuff is generally great, but an old one can crack and feel too scratchy after a year or so (which may just tell you that I let my deodorant crystals sit around too long).<\/p>\n

Hey, you sporty, glowing summer CM readers! What’s your favorite chem-free deodorant? Does it work? Do you care?<\/p>\n
