Review (4/5): Best natural deodorant I have tried in 10 years
SO. I have over the past decade tried many types of natural deodorants, from salt blocks, to different brands (Jason's, Tom's etc.), even Arm and Hammer baking soda deodorant (which dried my armpits and made my skin peel!), and none have worked as effectively at helping me stay less stinky than SmartyPits. I have used it for a solid month (received it as a stocking stuffer at Christmas 2017 because, yes, I am THAT crunchy :) ), and was surprised at how effective it has been at keeping me mostly non stinky for the day.
I say "mostly" because by the end of the day you can smell a little BO, but I am willing to take that at the end of the day, given that it is all natural and not an antiperspirant.
Here is how I used it: I would apply it in the am before leaving for the day (a little thicker than I would a normal antiperspirant), and by the end of the day, my underarms still smelled pretty good. The ONE thing that I would want to mention about this deodorant is that it can STAIN your clothes in the pit area because of the oils, which is why they say in the instructions to "make sure deodorant is fully absorbed before putting it on clothing." Because I would usually just put it on right before I run out the door, I am noticing pitt stains from the oils that I am having to work to get out of my clothes now, but honestly, I am OK with that because of all the natural deodorants I have tried, this one has worked the best for me in TEN years.
Everyone's body chemistry is a little different, but I hope this can be as successful for you as it has been for me! :) Looking forward to trying other scents too.
