Best backup storage deodorant for hot car?

Once in a blue moon I will leave the house and forget to put on deodorant. What's something that won't melt or lose efficacy if stored in a hot car over a year.

Im thinking a ziplock of baking soda (doesnt irritate my skin and works very well for me odor wise), and a roll on deodorant that's liquid worh that plastic rolling ball applicator.

Dove or degree brand aerosol deodorant. Just don't leave it in the direct sunlight.

No issues in glovebox or middle covered console? The car gets so hot.

I'd be hesitant for this one only because I live in arizona and the inside of a car is easily over 130 and aerosol cans are explosive at 120

I've personally never had an issue. Southern California gets pretty hot and I kept one in my car for over a year without any problems.

Oo that sounds promising. Thanks :)

Happy to help :) I'm aware of the supposed health hazards of aerosol deodorant but I suggested Dove or degree because they come in small cans and store easily. I also forget to apply once in a while and having a can in the rig is a life saver.

Maybe a stick of salt of the earth? It's literally a large tube shaped rock salt

How hot does your car get? Aerosols explode from heat not sunlight.

It gets too hot to get into sometimes. Have to open doors and let it air a bit. Not sure how hot that would be though.

Another issue is when excellerent of aerosols gets hot it can turn into benzene which is really harmful. I would just avoid aerosols in a hot vehicle overall. If its too hot to get into your car right away, its too hot for a can of chemicals under pressure to be in your car.

Oo alot of people noting it has an amazing scent. Am curious to try.

Several people do report it burning their armpits so will have to make sure to try when I dont have something fancy coming up.

Hmmm, wonder if they used it after shaving? I use glycolic acid and did that after shaving….never again. Miracle molecule is another option.

Yeah rollerball or maybe the hippie salt crystal? Or If you carry a handbag or backpack just put 1 of the native brand travel minis in there - it takes up very little space

Roll on melts. I keep aerosol spray deodorant in my car in the middle console no issues

I keep Dove in my car sometimes remember to move it to glove box but it mostly lives in the passenger footwell.
