I have found two different brands that are deodorants, not antiperspirants. The Toms brand already mentioned and another one I can't recall the brand name at the moment. I know Walgreen's carries both of them, but Walmart only carries the Toms. I've had great luck with both and I use it on both sides. Both brands have the pink ribbon on the packaging, so in a way it's fairly easy to know you have the right one once you locate it.

I just read today that out of 40 BC women they were sampling, 99% of those women's breast tissues showed paraben. Paraben is very commonly used in cosmetics, skin care products, and DEODORANT. So check out the labels.
