I’ve noticed that the Nivea roll-on deodorants I’m using are pretty easy to open after used up, but haven’t found any refill fluid on the market.

I know some people use powders etc, I’m not willing to try that, but does anyone know of a reasonably priced refill?

  • I’ve been meaning to try an alum block. It’s not an antiperspirant, just antimicrobial, but it’s literally just a mineral block so there is no plastic container to begin with and it should last a few years if you don’t drop it and break it. It costs in the $5-10 range.

    The alum still contain aluminum, but not in a form that is absorbed by the skin as in typical antiperspirant, hence why this doesn’t prevent sweat; it doesn’t block pores. Some people have allergies to the aluminum in AP and some think it is an endocrine disrupter. Other people can get clogged or infected pores from it.
