Beware of Rash
I used the "long lasting" (12 hour) lemon grass scented Tom's of Maine deodorant for a few days and developed a red sunburn type of rash on my arm pits--it also burned like a sunburn. The skin in the affected area has also started peeling, like a sunburn would. After a google search, I discovered that many others have had this problem with the long lasting Tom's of Maine containing "zinc ricinoleate." It seems the Apricot and Natural long lasting deodorants also contain this ingredient. While everyone's body reacts to different substances differently, one should be careful with this deodorant. Many people seem to have a sensitivity to this product, and I'm not one who generally has problems with sensitive skin.
