Nutribiotic Mango-Melon deodorant.

Ingredients: Deionized water, propylene glycol, sodium stearate (from palm oil), witch hazel distillate, aloe vera gel, grapefruit seed extract (GSE), tangerine oil, peppermint oil, lemon oil, and lime oil.

That is the deodorant I settled upon, after trying many different kinds. Other than the scent, it is very similar to the Queen Helene Mint Julep deodorant I used to use before they changed its formula. In other words, the scent doesn't bother me, it glides on easily, doesn't leave sticky residue, doesn't irritate my skin, and prevents odor reasonably well. It tends to foam a bit on application, and it has to be reapplied if one sweats a lot during the day.

It is odd that it is called "Mango-Melon", when the ingredients include neither mango nor melon. The scent really does smell sort of like melon, though. Not so much like mango.

Nutribiotic also makes lavender-scented and unscented versions of this deodorant. But the lavender scent didn't fit me; it was sort of distracting, and it also made me itch a few times. The unscented one didn't prevent body odor very well. But I've been using the mango-melon one for a few months now, and am still pleased with it.
