  • yup, the aluminum basically acts as a mordant for the natural yellowish stain of sweat and its microbial metabolites

    best to skip antiperspirant when wearing white shirts. aluminum-free deodorant (there is no such thing as aluminum free antiperspirant, btw) can help mask BO but will not stop sweat. but if you like white shirts that’s probably a decent trade-off.

    zinc oxide is a decent deodorant ingredient that doesn’t prevent sweating but does slow down microbes that eat sweat and release odorous compounds

    avoid baking soda if you have sensitive skin as it can raise your skin pH to uncomfortable levels. ymmv





  • I get symptoms from small amounts of butter and even really aged hard cheese if I don’t take lactase, so at this point I have no idea what’s up with my system. I suspect a fair amount of it is psychosomatic 😭

    I used to spend a borderline irresponsible amount of money on fancy cheese though so at least that’s one less vice :P
