Worst stuff ever for me! I used this one time only and it made my underarms get a red rash. It actually burned and eventually, I had peeling. It also smelled horrible after a little while. I don't normally even have much in the way of body odor, but it's as if this deodorant actually caused me to stink. In the garbage it goes.

Hmmm... I'm a bit torn on this. I absolutely adore the scent, it's easy to use (unlike roll-ons, no waiting forever for it to dry) and it really does keep me odor-free all day. However, like another reviewer, I too developed a rash after using it several days in a row. Which was odd, because unlike the other times I've gotten rashes from natural deodorants, this didn't irritate or hurt at all, it was just... red. I'm not sure what may have caused it. Shame, because this really did work. Would've definitely been HG had it not been for that. Will I repurchase? Maybe -- I'll still keep it around for days when I need extra protection, but for daily use I'll stick with my Aubrey's Organics.

I'd been trying natural deodorant after natural deodorant.. I tried Tom's, Kiss My Face, the Thai crystal, and the other natural crystal deodorant.. they all left me smelling like B.O. in hours. It was terrible and embarassing.
EDIT: after a few weeks this stuff left me smelling like B.O. as well.

This natural aluminum-free deodorant works, which is more than I can say about a lot of natural deodorants! I have it in Unscented (which is actually a lemon scent that my son thinks smells like Fruit Loops!) It's not sticky like a lot of natural deos (like Tom's of Maine) and it's easy to find. Unfortunately I've started to develop a red rash when I wear it several days in a row. If I wear it one day and then alternate with something else, it doesn't cause a problem. I think it's a great product as long as you don't have a reaction to it.

I was really looking for a deodorant that didn't have aluminum in, and other natural ones have given me a rash under my arms. I tried this and am so glad I did! This helps control odor and wetness and smells really nice. It is very nicely priced. My one problem is that sometimes it is hard to find.

The Crystal stick is the only natural deodorant I've used before and although it worked well, it was a hassle wetting it and rubbing it in for such a long time. That's when I transitioned back to regular deodorants. I was happy with degree women for a while, but I noticed that even after a shower and a lot of degree, the odor would not be controlled at all! Arm and hammer is amazing! With this I no longer have to use certain dri! Its not an antiperspirant, but certain dri along with regular deodorant was the only combo that kept me from being funky. This stuff lasts a LONG time, works, and smells great. I have it in unscented, and it reminds me a bit of Tang, but there is no noticeable scent at all. 5 lippies!

I've tried Tom's, I've tried Alba's, I've tried another brand that I can't remember and this is the first brand that I have detected absolutely no nasty underarm odor...at all. I most definitely will be buying it again.

I have been looking for a Natural Deodorant, so I thought I would give this one a try and I just love it I was afraid that it would not keep me fresh, what a surprise, I got this in the Fresh scent and it is just great I'm going to go get another one.

I have to say im a SWEATER and this really kept me from smelling the whole day!! it's not a anti-perspirant so you will sweat (as another reviewer has mentioned) not as much but the realllyyyyy good thing is you dont have to worry about odor at all. Its aluminum and paraben free wich is a good thing. I have tried other natural deodorants such as Tom's of Maine and Herbal Clear which was ok but after a while it didnt not control odor (i was a tad bit smelly lol) I bought mine in FRESH and it has a pretty strong smell but it tones down after a while the unscented one had a good smell to it even though it was uncented lol.....Im definitly going to buy another one later on today its really good for $3.49 as well...

Wow! I bought this a couple days ago and am really suprised and excited at how well I like this deodorant! I've been on a natural deodorant hunt for the past 2 years, trying one form to the next. I've gone through the crystal rocks, the crystal liquid roll on and a liquid spray. They all work well for me in the fall and winter. No real issues at all. The problem comes when the weather heats up and we've already had several days of warm temps here, so I start noticing my natural deos aren't up to the job and I end up smelling not so ladylike at the end of the day. At WalMart the other day I happened upon this gem. Not the prettiest packaging, but after reading the ingredients and product claims, I decided to give it a go. It was a steal at under $3.
Firstly, it goes on smooth and has a gel like consistency, but doesn't seem to leave a white film on me or my clothes. It isn't sticky or tacky, rather leaves me feeling just...smooth. It has a mild, earthy, fresh scent that doesn't linger or upfront my perfume and is really gender neutral. Kinda reminded me of...fresh grass, if that makes any sense. Now since this is NOT an anti-perspirant, you will still sweat, which I did for several days now after taking the dogs for a walk, running around town, planting flowers out in the sun. But by the end of the day, I did NOT smell. Just a very faint scent of the deodorant itself, nothing offensive at all!
After years of wondering why I was getting these painful lumps in my underarm area, I discovered by accident that it was because of the drying ingredients in deodorants (at one time it was suggested having them surgically removed by a doctor, with no guarantee they wouldn't come back!) and since I have stopped using that type of deo, the problem remains GONE. I absolutely know its the cause because I once forgot my natural deo and used a spare regular one my Mom had and the next day I had those horrid under the skin painful lumps that take weeks to go away! Now I just know that can't be healthy for me personally, so I made the switch.
This one seems to be a great alternative to regular deos during the spring and summer months for me. Nice fresh scent, keeps me from stinking, even after hours in the sun. Will update if anything changes!
