Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I probably shouldn't get this excited about a deodorant, but I can't help it. I have been looking for a deodorant that protects as well as the aluminum based ones that I used to use but that was as good for me as the new ones I have tried, and that have fallen a bit short of the mark. This is finally the answer. I am not the only one in this household that feels this way, and that is the kicker. I have tried many deodorants, including Burt's Bees Herbal Deodorant with oil of Sage, Desert Essence's Tea Tree Oil with Lavender Deodorant, and Weleda Wild Rose Deodorant. All of them smelled fine and did help for a very short amount of time, but nothing like the lasting power of the more harmful deodorants that had ingredients no one should have in their system. I was even content to use those deodorants and reapply often, but my daughters were not, one of them choosing instead to continue to use the aluminum based deodorants that made me cringe every time I thought about it. And so I had to keep searching for something that would satisfy her, the pickiest girl in the world. Well, we found it. Thanks to an online blog, I heard about this one and how great it was, and it was all true. Even though this one had no Amazon reviews, I jumped in with fingers crossed. There are so many pros and only one con. Pros: Keeps you incredibly dry Absorbs all negative odors and has a very light scent, nothing overpowering or obvious. Is easy to apply and really blends into skin Has no apparent residue that will show up on your clothes My pickiest daughter loves it! "Hey Mikey!" Con: You have to rub it into your skin by hand. It is basically like a cream but a bit dryer than that. It has a little applicator spoon, but that is just to scoop a little out of the bottle. Then you rub it into your skin using your fingers. This may be unsettling for someone used to sticks or roll-ons but you forget about this fact right around the third application. Because of this I cannot in good conscience remove a single star. I should also mention the high price/small container, but by now I have realized that you do pay much more for healthier alternatives to more common products. This is absolutely the best deodorant I have ever tried. I like it even more than the ones I used to apply when I was ignorant of the side effects of using certain chemicals in deodorants. I have only tried the Lavender + Sage scent, but I will eventually check the others out. For now, I am just making sure we each have a bottle of this stuff so I can finally throw away anything with aluminum in it. FINALLY!
