Abstract | BACKGROUND: OBJECTIVE: METHODS: RESULTS: All four patients had positive patch test reactions to lichen acid mix and D- usnic acid. Of the three patients who were patch tested to the botanical deodorant, all had positive reactions. LIMITATIONS: We did not test to the specific lichen used in the natural deodorant but rather used our own lichen acid mix and d- usnic acid in addition to testing to the actual product. One of the patients declined to be tested with the natural deodorant, but did test positive to the lichen acid mix and d- usnic acid. CONCLUSION:
