Oars + Alps Aluminum Free Deodorant for Men and Women, Dermatologist Tested and Made with Clean Ingredients, Travel Size, Eucalyptus Spearmint, 2 Pack, 2.6 Oz Each

When I sweat, I sweat! My day to day I am very active and when I am one of those humans who sweat a lot. Previously I was using Dove Men's deodorant and overall it worked but I was ruining my shirts with white marks under the arms I also had some irritation at times. I tried Oars + Alps after randomly finding it while searching for good deodorants to try. It is a little pricy, and it wasn't an overnight success. The first few days I did notice some BO by about halfway through my day. Nothing revolting and honestly I had to sniff for it. A few more days (probably a week after using) I noticed the smell only under one arm. Now I am about 3-4 weeks into using it and I can go all day with out noticing the BO smell. Overall the product is pleasant, has not caused any skin irritation, and best of all my shirts are saved! I purposely purchased a bunch of new undershirts and not a single one is stained.

This is the best deodorant I have ever used. If you still stink after using this perhaps you need to adjust your diet, honestly.I only need to use this deodorant once for an 8hr shift.To put it into perspective, my shirt was sweated through all the way to my belt before it was noon.I have used this deodorant exclusively for over two years or more. Each one lasts approximately a month during summer season. A little goes a long way. Maybe use less more often, eat less swine

If you are coming from a mass-market anti-perspirant, this review will only be somewhat helpful for you. Your body will have to adjust to a non-anti-perspirant deodorant first, then a “natural” deodorant on top of that. It will take a few weeks like the Oars and Alps product listing states. I’d recommend finding a mass-market deodorant (only) first, use that for a while, then go to a natural deodorant. Why? Natural deodorants can be irritating to the skin and you don’t want to deal with too many transition issues all at once.I’ve been using non-anti-perspirant deodorant for nearly 10 years. I have tried at least 15 natural deodorant brands over that time, usually coming back to a conventional deodorant because the natural deodorant either: stopped suppressing odor before early afternoon, or irritated the daylights out of my skin (baking soda bad!), or couldn’t be applied without feeling like a piece of crumbly chalk. I’ll leave financials out of this for now since all the naturals did one of the above regardless of price point. I sort of found one natural that was still chalky, but at least suppressed odor nearly all day and didn’t irritate my skin by drying it out, but did cause breakouts!Well, Oars and Alps finally does everything I want it to do. I will say to anybody trying this for the first time to give it two weeks. And that two weeks is AFTER having already transitioned from your anti-perspirant to an intermediary mass market deodorant and having gone through the “detox” process. The first week I switched to O+A, I did have some redness and dryness to my pit skin, but it went away in week two. I’m glad I stuck it out. The O+A deodorant smells great, works all day, goes on smoothly, doesn’t cause breakouts, and lasts longer than many other deodorants, natural or not. Thank goodness … the search is over! (Please O+A, don’t change your formula).Now we get to a sticky subject, which is price. O+A is about twice as expensive per unit than even the already expensive natural deodorants. That might be a deal breaker for some, and that’s a fair reason. I do think O+A lasts a week or two longer than most, but I haven’t actually measured that, and the reason could totally just be there’s more product in a typical unit sold.I think there are a lot of people that will find O+A deodorant to be worth the premium. It will change your mind about natural deodorants. If you’re committed to the idea of using a natural deodorant but don't want to compromise, give this stuff a shot but stay patient to let it work without irritation after proper transitioning.

I’ve found this deodorant works well to help prevent staining cloths along with having less of the potentially harmful chemicals typically found in products of this category.

No rash from ingredients, great smell, cute package.
