Love it, with a few conditions
Okay, I've got crazy sensitive skin and basically can't use any antiperspirant and many natural deodorants without having a reaction. I've tried at least 20 different brands- Tom's, Herban Cowboy, Lume, Weleda- and I've tried roll-ons, sticks, creams, powders, you name it. I work up a sweat at work every day and unfortunately for me and my laundry basket, I can be a stinky person. This is one of my favorite natural deodorants I've tried, but it does have some drawbacks:<br /><br />Pros:<br />1. Smells delightful. It is an earthy, aromatheraputic type scent (not perfumey). If you like Aveda products you'll like how this smells. And an extra pro, the smell is not overwhelming- I can't even smell it when it's on unless I smell my armpit directly. Nice!<br />2. Good staying power. Unlike most roll-ons I've tried, it dries quickly and at the end of the day I can still smell it if I smell my armpit. I do smell some sweat, too, but it doesn't smell like b.o. Nice!<br />3. No bad skin reactions after 2 months of use. First product I've used in YEARS that I got away with using this long. Very nice!<br />4. Washes out of fabrics. Some other essential oil type deo's I've used in the past have left oil marks on the armpits of my shirts. I've had no issues with this product. We love it!<br />Cons:<br />1. Pricier than a lot of other brands. I've been using it as recommended, morning and evening, for about 7 weeks, and I have about 1/5 left of the bottle.<br />2. Like every other roll-on, does nothing to soothe chafing if you're wearing a tank or t shirt or you move around a lot.<br />3. On hot, busy days, a midday reapplication goes a long way. I don't have time/access to do this at my work, so some days I just get stinky. But I will say, I don't get as stinky as I have with a lot of other products.<br /><br />Bottom line, I'll buy it again so I don't run out, but I'm still on the hunt for the *just right* one for me. Overall, 8/10. Tics most boxes for me, and the scent is really lovely.
