Review (2/5): Overall Subpar Product
I’m not a fan of overly dramatic negative reviews but this was a truly unsatisfactory product. I have been using natural deodorants since before they were cool and it feels like Raw Sugar jumped on the trend and threw this together to sell on the shelves. The packaging came apart nearly immediately so I had to apply pressure on the bottom while applying so the product would not get pushed back into the tube. The product itself baffled me. It is very difficult to soften and apply. I had to hold it under my armpit for minutes at a time (even in the hottest summer weather) and I started spending 5+ full minutes on my morning deodorant routine. Deodorant shouldn’t have a routine, but this one did.
I had about an inch of product left and couldn’t stand it anymore. I opened a new tube of my trusty Hey Humans deodorant and it softens on contact, does not contain added fragrance (Raw Sugar does), and keeps me so much less stinky over the course of the day. I felt a little less insane after realizing the product was just subpar and I shouldn’t have tried so hard to get through the tube of Raw Sugar. It has never been more satisfying to toss something into the garbage can. There are too many other brands available that do a good enough job to bother with this.
