The Natural Deodorant Co, Clean Deodorant Balm Grapefruit & Mint 55g, Aluminium Free, Plastic Free, All Day Protection

I love this product . I had been suffering with sore underarms and red rash using good branded makes of off the shelf deodorant.I’m so happy to have made the change , everything has cleared up . This deodorant is soft and creamy , smells delicious and is extremely effective .When it arrived I was a little apprehensive as it seemed dry in the pot and I thought might be harsh to rub on . I just softened it a little on a radiator and it has been perfect and creamy ever since and very easy to apply . I expect it came from very cold storage.It is expensive but worth every penny . Only need a tiny amount so think the pot will last a long time .I wish I had made this change a long time ago horrified to think what had been absorbed by my skin previously . Natural ingredients are the way forward .

I have sensitive skin and struggled to find a deodorant that didn't make me break out every time I used it. I have tried a lot of different deodorants from well known brands and was still having the same issue of breaking out. This deodorant was recommend by my GP so I gave it a try. It is very effective at keeping my armpits smelling fresh throughout the whole day; in fact I would say even more than other well known deodorants. It's a small size but don't let that put you off because it lasts a long time. You only need a small amount to apply under each armpit and it's very easy to apply; It's like a cream that glides on and is not sticky at all.

I’m really impressed with this deodorant balm! The scent is amazing — fresh, light, and not overpowering, so it feels natural throughout the day. The texture is smooth and easy to apply, and it absorbs well without feeling greasy or sticky, which I really appreciate.One of the best parts is knowing it’s organic and free from harmful chemicals. It’s so nice to find a deodorant that doesn’t contain any questionable ingredients but still works effectively. I love that I’m using a product that’s not only good for me but also eco-friendly. If you’re looking for something natural and safe, I’d definitely recommend giving this one a try!

Was a bit dubious about trying this as opposed to hardcore chemicals. Throughout the winter it seemed to do the job just fine. But when it got a bit hotter I felt I needed to turn to a bit more of a hardcore deodorant. Smell good. Little bit fiddly compared to a stick or a spray but happy that it felt like a gentler product.

This is really nice quality, skin friendly deodorant. Nice thickness to the balm and easy to use. The scent is fresh and mild and it works really well with no skin irritating ingredients. I recommend.

My favourite deodorant of the six I've tested! I'm still surprised that I don't smell bad at the end of the day.Pros1) Effectiveness - I've been using this over the past month and it really works, I'm seriously pleased. I sweat like crazy but don't smell at the end of the day, heck I smell nice!2) Initial smell - lovely, it turns out lemon and geranium are a perfect match3) Natural? - YES, there's not an ingredient I don't like in this one! Also it has shea butter in which is a lovely ingredient in itself4) Not tested on animals & vegan5) Packaging - attractive6) All of the above, I just really like this productCons1) How much? - I use more than the suggested "pea sized" amount, probably 3 times as much but hey it works2) Easy to use? - It's not difficult but it does take a couple of minutes, you're rubbing this in by hand from a pot. I would LOVE to see a stick version of this product, even finishing that off by hand would be fine. It also gets under your nails.3) A picky point but I don't smell nice when I wake up, but if there is a deodorant that really lasts 24hrs I haven't found it yet - so really I don't count this as a real con. Just mentioning it for a balanced reviewHere's my brief deodorant back story...I'm not looking for an antiperspirant, I commute sweating is going to happen, I just don't want to smell at the end of the day...Or the beginning for that matter which is sadly what had been happening since the usual deodorant BETRAYED me. The standard dove, sure, mitchum etc. don't cut it and I will smell (bad) within half an hour of putting it on if that.So I decided something needed to change. It got to the point where I was considering underarm botox to stop sweating, as a last resort. Beforehand But I like to use natural products where possible so decided to test six natural(ish, in some cases) deodorants to varying degrees of success.So I'm taking it upon myself to try the following six deodorants1) Toms of Maine Long Lasting Natural Deodorant Aluminum Free - Honeysuckle Rose2) Clean Deodorant Balm Lemon + Geranium3) Earth Conscious 100% Natural Organic Cream Deodorant (Mint - Strong Protection)4) Optima Australian Tea Tree Deodorant with Aloe Vera5) Earth Science Rosemary Mint Deodorant6) Tisserand Tea Tree+ DeodorantAs a side note I have paid for and chosen these products myself and do not have any links with the companies.

Pros: Lovely smell and very effective against smells!Cons: One pot arrived and it had leaked (it was a hot day), subsequently half the pot was empty and the remaining was gritty where it had re set into lumps. Received a refund for this no problem, and purchased a new pot. However, I'd found the stability of the product poor, if your bathroom gets too hot or cold it seems to affect the consistency of the product. I then dropped the pot and it smashed into tiny pieces (yes its glass, but doesn't seem to be that strong).Overall, I'd say this is definitely worth a try and I did like the smell, but the consistency really puts me off, alongside that the pot easily breaks so not good to take to the gym etc.
