Review (5/5): The holy grail of natural deodorant
Look no further, this is the one! I decided to make the swap to a cleaner more healthy lifestyle about 10 years. Since then finding a replacement deodorant has been my biggest challenge. I have a graveyard of expensive deodorants and homemade concoctions. They either caused painful irritation from the baking soda or gave no body odor coverage. I first ordered Lúme about 3 years ago and I haven’t looked back. Jasmine Rose is my favorite scent but they are all great. I have done HIIT workouts and survived to hot humid Alabama heat with still no stinky smell. It’s important to remember this is a deodorant only, not an antiperspirant. It don’t find that to be an issue for me. I have found that if I shower at night I need to apply the deodorant before going to bed or you will know you haven’t come morning. I reapply after every shower or swimming. Unlike deodorants like secret this deodorant easily washes away, which is a good thing.
Some thing to consider when switching from traditional deodorants to natural options. Even with baking soda free options there might be a detoxing period where you may feel some irritation. Especially, if you’ve used most name brands for years. I did not have this problem with Lúme, but that doesn’t mean someone else won’t. If irritation or rash happens there are some natural detoxes you can apply to help speed up the process.
