I use this as a foot spray to keep fungus at bay and it works nicely.

There may be Aluminum in this product, please ask for disclosure of mineral salts used
I just realized that this deoderant has as it's main first real ingredient Crystalized Mineral Salts. This is of concern to me because they have not disclosed what the mineral salts are that they are using. Almost all of the natural deoderants and crystal deoderants use Potassium Alum as the active ingredient and mineral salt. Potassium Alum is Aluminum and potassium. Aluminum is great for deoderizing and bad for your health. So I avoided all of those yucky other deoderants that say they have aluminum only to be duped by a label that does not disclose the aluminum in it and poses as healthy? Please disclose your exact Mineral Salts used. This review has gone from a 5 star to a 1 star and will stay that way until I know there is no aluminum in this product.
Previous 5 star Review:
I've waited to write the review for this for a couple of months now just to make sure, and I can honestly say I really like this as a deoderant. It doesn't totally take away my smell on some of my stinkiest, most hormonal days, but nothing would except for toxic chemicals then, so I say it passes because it does keep me smelling fresh on the rest of the days. I actually like the scent of it too, which is always a gamble for me. The shock of cold as I spritz my pits quickly fades and I'm left smelling good in a light and non-distracting way. I have used it while working out hard, and most days it did the trick while also being healthy and safe. I will say that I usually don't douse my underarm area with it, which is probably what is needed for the silver to keep any bacteria from doing it's thing and stinking up the place. So if you really want a no-smell zone then you probably want to spray a few times in each underarm to get the full effect. I usually am getting ready very quickly, and as yet it has been winter time so I didn't really relish spraying it a lot on myself while I'm trying not to freeze my tushy off in the morning.
I have used silver products before, and I know how awesomely effective they are at neutralizing all microbial threats ( I have used colloidal silver drops in my eyes for repeated eye infections when I was going to school and they worked wonders and healed me within three days). I feel like this one lives up to my previous experiences with silver and I love that this deodorant has multiple ingredient angles for working it's good smelling and health magic too, like zinc and essential oils.
I have been using this everyday for two months, and I feel like it's the best natural deodorant I have used ( and I have used a lot!).
