Has anyone found a good aluminium free deodorant/antiperspirant in Korea?

Apparently it's the aluminium salts in the spray reacting with my sweat that are causing the armpit stains on my t-shirts, and not because I'm a dirty, dirty boy.

I'm not 'Sure' of the technicalities... Is a deodorant just a smell to cover up the bad ones?

Basically I need something that keeps me dry and won't react with my sweat, that is available in Korea.

Bingo... Anti-perspirants clog up the pores with aluminum and don't let sweat out. Get yourself some deodorants and deal with sweat. It's much healthier for you.

I used to use anti-perspirants, but I heard it's possible that the Aluminum causes Alzheimer's. Better safe than sorry.

I got some of the Body Shop stuff. Of course, nothing is going to make me 100% dry or not sweaty, but it's working better than that other stuff I was using before.
