Schmidt's

Sensitive Skin Deodorant (magnesium, baking soda free)

Uses magnesium instead of baking soda. Baking soda is highly alkaline and is the single most common reason natural deodorant gives people a red, itchy underarm rash.

Worth knowing. Schmidt's regular range does contain baking soda. You want the Sensitive Skin line specifically.
