Samantha Bonifas 7/29/2023 10:26 AMDove makes some cool refillable deodorants that are 0% aluminium. Still some plastic involved in the refill containers that are hard to recycle, but better then having to replace with all new plastic container each time you run out. Also have different scents to choose from. I've had mine for about 4 months now and love it!
