This deodorant works so well for me, as I've gotten older I've just gotten sweatier and smellier isn't that cool?? Anyway I've dealt with a lot of deodorants that just don't do anything this thing works like nobody's business... That being said it has to be probably the worst packaging in the world It is very difficult to get the stick up inevitably I have destroyed the top because it never fits back on properly so because the packaging is paper It just keeps getting worn down by the moisture from the deodorant if that makes sense I will actually add a photo later but I spoke to the company cuz I was like guys your stuff is amazing your packaging sucks I bet my fingernail all the way back trying to push it up like a push-up pop, I have pressed it even into my faucet to try to get it to move and sometimes it does and sometimes it doesn't The packaging is god-awful the product is absolutely incredible
I've been on a quest for a natural and effective deodorant for over 30 years. I can't use anything with baking soda and over the years I've found that deodorants made with zinc are very effective. This deodorant is so effective that even on days when I don't apply it after a shower, I don't smell even a hint of B.O. The cardboard tube is pretty hard to use, that's really the only downside to this. I've tried all of their scents and my favorite is the one with mint in it, especially in the summer because it has a cooling effect. None of the other scents are strong in any way at all- they just work. As in, your armpits won't smell like perfume, they just won't smell like anything at all and they definitely won't smell like B.O.! I use smaller bottle under the tube to push the product up, also more is not better with this stuff, just apply the smallest/thinnest amount- that's really all you need, any more and you'll end up with white armpits and deodorant on your clothes- unnecessary especially when the smallest amount really works well. When I apply this, I'll either warm it up for a second with my hair dryer or just hold it against my skin for a few seconds since it spreads/applies better when the deodorant is a touch warmer than room temp.
Natural deodorant products are well known to not be very effective at keeping sweat at bay and this is really no exception. This works just like all the rest. That being said, the trade off is the natural ingredient list. The smell is very gender neutral. It does become grainy, like most natural deodorants after using. I would recommend this product for someone looking for a natural deodorant.
My 15 year old is very particular about using naturally fragranced (and generally the ingredients of) her toiletry products. This product ticked the boxes and was not overpowering with the scent.Her teenage sweaty armpits were kept try all day and she had no embarrassing sweaty armpit patches on T-shirts through the school day.The fragrance was neutral - neither feminine or masculine. And she seemed to be pleased with how easily it was to apply after a shower.The slight downside is the cardboard tubing - whilst very sustainable and eco-friendly not so great for a product used in a damp area (bathroom) and it easily soaks up water from countertops and hence becomes unusable.
See video for my review comparing this Charcoal deodorant to the Vanilla Ylang Ylang one from this same brand. I LOVE the Vanilla one, as it masks my body odor effectively. The charcoal one doesn't mask body odor as well, possibly because it is unscented.The cardboard tubes that this deodorant come in make it somewhat difficult to get the deodorant out. I find the Vanilla scent easier to push out of the tube compared to the charcoal one.This review is for the charcoal scent, but in the future I will purchase the Vanilla Ylang Ylang scented one!
