This product causes painful cyst-like bumps
I’ll start with an upside: out of all of the natural deodorants I’ve tried, this stuff does the best job of preventing sweating (which is never an issue for me when I use this product, I never feel moist). It also has a nice true-to-description smell (though I might choose a different scent after experiencing it, because it’s a strange choice for the armpit area). But, there is a MAJOR downside: every time I start trying to use this product again, within a couple days I develop painful, large, cyst-like bumps in my armpits. They’re not ingrown hairs, they’re not acne. But they are deep under the skin, and I always get multiple in each armpit (I can feel them even when I’m not touching them). I don’t know WHY this product does this or WHAT is wrong with it, but there is DEFINITELY something wrong with it. Too bad. For a point of reference, I do not have sensitive skin nor have I ever suffered from this happening with any other product I’ve used in my life, it is completely exclusive to this, and I have experienced it without fail every time I’ve tried to use it.
