It Is Your Mom's Deodorant By Sparkle333 on Jul 01, 2008 - Updated Oct 15, 2011

Most of the time, we tend to move away from the beauty products that our mom used, but this is one case where that didn't happen. When I was just a preteen, and started needing deodorant, my mom introduced me to Ban Roll-On. I liked it from the start, because it did not irritate my skin, it didn't have an overpowering smell, and it worked! Not only was it effective against odor, but it also kept me dry. I never remember being embarrassed by those horrible underarm stains, that many people experience when their antiperspirant stops working.

Ban Roll-On is easy to apply, and it dries quickly. You can pretty much apply it, and immediately put your clothes on, without worrying about stains or stickiness. In the many years that I have used this deodorant, I have never experienced staining on my clothes. It comes in several different scents, as well as unscented.

The only concern that I have about it, is one that many of us share these days. It does contain Aluminum Chlorohydrate, which by many accounts is not healthy for our bodies to absorb. It is very difficult to find an effective antiperspirant that doesn't contain aluminum, though deodorants are much easier to find with natural ingredients. So this is a legitimate concern.

I have been using Ban Roll-On for many, many years, and have found it to be very effective and reliable. So I guess that proves that now and then...mom really does know best.
