You could try a natural deodorant with baking soda instead. It should provide a similar effect. My skin reacts badly to aluminium salts and “normal” deodorants can barely keep me smell-free until lunch. A natural deodorant with baking soda has though worked absolute wonders. If you’re coming from antiperspirants there may be a starting phase where your body gets used to not having the aluminium blocking the glands, but that’ll subside after approx. 2 weeks.
Baking soda can be very harsh on some people’s skin. I am violently intolerant of aluminum salts and slightly sensitive to BS.
It really is true for many people that if you stick out a “natural” deodorant for an awkward 2-4 weeks you really don’t sweat as much or smell bad.

Oh that’s good to know! I’ll give that a try as I do worry about the aluminum, thanks!
