lavender + eucalyptus

I’ve made the transition out of chemical deoderants and into natural/organic deoderants about 2 years ago. In that time, I struggled with trying to find a deoderant that can actually work with sweating and stink! Since I’m used to wearing natural/organic, my sweating has definitely decreased, however I still struggled with trying to find a deodorant and antiperspirant to help with a stink all day long. I’ve spent hundreds of dollars and countless trials to find one that will last all day. THIS ONE WORKS!! I can apply straight from the container without needing to blend with my fingers which I LOVE (most strong natural/organic deodorants require applying with fingers), the product applies smoothly and thin (you don’t need that much, but I do a couple swipes to be on the safe side), there is a light scent which is pleasant and minty smelling (from the eucalyptus), and best part of all, I can go the WHOLE DAY with only ONE application! Seriously, it’s a game changer!A couple suggestions:1. Make sure to hold the deodorant under your arm pit for a couple seconds to soften the stick, then slowly apply under your armpits. If you try too fast, you may cause irritation to your skin and you don’t want to deal with a rash.2. If you’re transitioning from chemical to natural/organic deodorants, your pits are going to need a detox period to unclog your pores and cleanse the chemicals out of your system. Trust me it’s a rough process, but once it’s done, it will be worth it! You’re going to notice a major difference in sweat, smell, and most importantly, your health! Definitely do some research for detox periods. After that, you shouldn’t have a reaction to any natural/organic deodorants!I hope this review is helpful for you! Honestly, it’s a great product from a great company who offers great customer service! Definitely try this! I hope this works for you as well as it has for me!

First off, kudos on the presentation, helps set the stage for an earthy, nature centric product. Great scent, pleasant and aromatic without being overdone. Read the product insert first so tried a light, even application (waited until the next day after receiving to use - it’s cold outdoors and wanted to make sure it had warmed to room temp to give it a chance to show its “glide ability”). Went on smoothly without a lot of drag, no traces of white residue. (A tip: Hold the product against your skin for a few seconds to warm a little - glides easier!) Smelled pleasant on my skin. Applied it immediately after shaving (I know you cautioned not to in order to be on the safe side, but I have never had issues in this regard with prior products I’ve used) with no burning or stinging problems.I ordered your product due to the fact that the previous natural non-aluminum deodorant I have been using has been a decided fail in controlling odor. After wearing it today I am pleased with its performance in this regard. I am saying this with some reservation since this was my day off from my work and it hasn’t yet had to support me through a stressful business day. I have high hopes that my search has ended!I would also like to mention that it gives me great pleasure to support what appears to be a family business rather than a corporate conglomerate. The personal touch of the tips/hints intro sheet with the family pic was a surprise and delight; gives the impression that you have a vested interest in making certain your product excels and that you care deeply how your product performs for your clientele.Update - Works great for me even on super-hectic days! LOVE this product and will definitely order again!

Based upon my own experiences in using this deodorant, I have found it to be surprisingly effective, even though it is unscented non-antiperspirant variety. This stuff has been great at neutralizing body odor.THE PITFALLS OF OTHER DEODORANTS I'VE USED: I am sure all of us have really felt ashamed at times where you think that others may get the idea you don’t take personal hygiene seriously. I have used other unscented organic ones that rears its ugly head despite me washing....and even those scented ones without the desired long lasting result to accomplish the objective of masking body odor.WHY DOES MY SWEAT STINK, OR IS IT THE SWEAT THAT STINKS? I once learned that sweat on its own does not stink, but actually the skins fermenting bacteria is the source of body odor. The underarms have been compared to tropical rainforests amid the the skin's typically dry topography, which makes it an ideal home for a huge variety of bacteria. We blame sweat for our odor, but what you smell after you work out or when you're stressed is the odor of bacteria metabolizing the sweat, not the sweat itself.HOW WELL HAS THIS STUFF WORKED FOR ME. To my own relief, this unscented one works so well, that it's tendency toward any unpleasant odor is simply not there - even when I wear clothing / fabric that doesn't breath so well. After one swipe in the morning, it works all day, into the night and well into the next morning. I have alas experienced a deodorant, whereas my own sweaty underarms do not stink and the smelly skin bacteria will not thrive because of it. Simply put, this stuff has been great at neutralizing the body odor caused by bacteria.ANTIPERSPIRANTS AS A SIDE NOTE: I do not believe in antiperspirants for many health reasons...for example, amongst one of other reasons....our underarms secrete sweat to cool our bodies and to release toxins. However when using antiperspirants, you could be keeping your underarms stocked with a steady flow of potentially hazardous chemicals 24/7—even if you shower daily. Stockpiling toxins or temporarily changing the natural function of your skin, in suppressing the flow of sweat, is not an answer in my own opinion for healthy living. However, neutralizing the body odor caused by bacteria with a deodorant and not an Antiperspirent is a sustainable way of living amongst others who don't have to smell you coming and going.
