Each & Every Natural Aluminum-free Deodorant for Sensitive Skin with Essential Oils, Vegetable Packaging, Citrus and Vetiver Oil, 70 ml

The citrus scent last all day

This is my second pack of 3 I've purchased from the Each & Every brand. I explored the Lav/Lemon, Citrus/Vetiver, and Coconut/Lime scents this time. Let's talk about it... 1) I like to NOT scrape my pits on the plastic, SO I start with a decent amount of deo. above the plastic tube; However, leaving the deo that high up will get smooshed by the cap. So, i always roll it down. The twisting mechanism is easy to roll up and down without issue. The tube can also be recycled (HDPE 2). 2) The formula is soft, smooth, moisturizing and a little GOES A LONG WAY! I made the mistake of going over my pits too much (applying too much product) and it gets VERY wet. It's never *sticky* for me, but the wetness is just uncomfortable and a waste as it just seems to melt off. When i applied too much, it also plugged my pores and I'd have painful red lumps (boils) appear! No thanks.. lesson learned. 3) The scents are usually quite lovely and not overbearing. Obviously, things smell differently to everyone and once applied, ppl's body chemistry will alter the smell, still. That being said, the Lav/Lemon is just wonderful and if you love lavender, you'll love this one. The first pack also had a Rose scent and a Geranium/Mushroom scent (i think that's the right blend ??). The rose was true to the name and not overbearing. Obviously quite floral. The Geranium/Mushroom was a soft scent and i could see why it'd be considered more neutral. However, there was still a subtle floral quality to me. The second pack was different... If you love a coconut smell, then the Coconut/Lime is just for you-- it's warm and tropical, esp when it hits the heat of your body. I was hoping for more of a balanced smell. For whatever reason, the Coconut lime verbena from B&BW smelled different and good. Maybe it was the addition of the verbena. Anyway, this one was overbearing and I couldn't stand the smell of the Coconut, which became the prominent smell once applied. The Citrus/Vetiver was *more* balanced than the Coconut/Lime, but still favored the Vetiver. Apparently i dislike Vetifer... it smells almost astringent-like to me. Can't describe it well. The citrus was obvious, but softer and more of a secondary smell. I wished it shined through more. 4) I work in a busy dialysis clinic, walking fast all day, constantly moving, wearing awful PPE gowns (that are impervious to blood and "other" fluids), a mask, and a freaking face shield. If you've had the pleasure of wearing them, you know what I'm talking about. I feel like a popsicle in an oven. That being said, i obviously sweat, BUT AMAZINGLY, i don't stink-- at least, no one has told me so (and we're pretty open and honest with each other, being together so much!)!! Sure, it starts to wear away. But by the end of my 12-13hr shift, I'm not *sticky*, i can still walk in public, and i don't leave a trail of flies and stink in my wake. I call that a WIN, folks! For me, deo. doesn't last more than 24hrs before i need to reapply. And it's not that i stink, it's just that the product has completely worn off/ melted off (?). Maybe if you don't have as much activity, then it could last 48hrs-ish ++. Lucky you! 5) Do i like the price tag?...Not really. What i do like 6) are the CLEAN ingredients. They're listed in Latin on the left, then listed in layman's terms on the right. THANK YOU for that! I appreciate the time that E&E took to make sure i was informed, even though i tell my husband i know everything, and hope he never really finds me out! These deodorants also do NOT contain baking soda which is often an irritant to ppl's skin-- and they don't even know until they've had the joy of hives under their pits!! You're welcome for the info ppl, which i found out the hard way. If you're on the fence, just fork over the money and try it. What is your health worth to you? I try to avoid known cancer-causing agents, esp right there at my pits, which are a hot spot for lymph nodes (the bundle of cells that connect my immune system from head to toe... think "connect-the-dots"). Hence clean ingredients are rather important, since they're going to travel around my body, eventually getting into my blood stream. Yes, your skin is the largest organ on your body and absorbs whatever you put on it. And lastly... 7) I would have given it 5 stars had some of the more *daring* scents not made me nauseous. I should've bought the little travel-size pack with like 6 different scents, so i could see which ones I'd prefer to buy in the big tube. Best wishes!

As I've gotten older, I've become more and more sensitive to additives and chemicals in products that touch my skin. Itchiness or mild burning started happening. It started with bar soaps - had to change to fragrance-free there. Then it happened with laundry detergents - had to move to the "free and clear" varieties there. And most recently in the past year I noticed my armpits getting very itchy during the days, and it would build up over weeks and month to the point where it started creating burning rashes. Once I acknowledged it was from my anti-perspirant/deodorant, I started trying different things. I changed brands multiple times (at least 5 or 6 brands from common store shelves); I tried deodorant-only vs the combo; I tried clear anti-perspirant with no fragrance. It all culminated during the hot summer on a road trip to the wilderness, the current combo-stick I was trying was causing burning rashes in and around my armpits, which was just rubbing constantly while I drove through the mountains. I had reached the end of my rope and vowed to just stop using deodorants entirely - and I apologized to my family for whatever I put them through from that point on. But I had a wild hair to do some more research when I returned home, and found these "natural" deodorants. I put that in quotes, because the point is that they are Aluminum-free - but Aluminum is a product of nature, so it's still just marketing mumbo-jumbo. The point is that it seems a lot of people have reactions to Aluminum-based skin products, and I was desperate to at least try one more product before threatening my marriage. Enter "Each & Every", which had excellent ratings, a large variety of scents to choose from, and Subscribe & Save eligibility. I've now tried 6 different scents, and all of them are good, but we (yes, now my wife is hooked and using them for herself) are especially fond of Coconut & Lime, Citrus & Vetiver, Cedar & Vanilla and Sandalwood & Black Pepper. OK, so the million-dollar question: did it solve my itchy, burning rashes? 100% yes! From day one, I have never experienced any discomfort whatsoever. I did follow the instructions they provide for first use. Go easy on it - you don't have to grind it into your flesh or put a thick coating on. One layer pass is all you need. Also, the first week of using it, my pits were constantly wet (but I smelled good), and after my body adjusted by the second week, I would sweat a little during my days, but nothing crazy, and I always smell "yummy" (wife's words, not mine). I dread to think that burning armpits would have ended my marriage, but I really was ready to just go 'au naturale' for the rest of my life, and I have no doubt it would have tested the words "til death do us part".

Best natural deodorant I have ever bought!

Pros: smells amazing to me Doesn't irritate my skin Works half of the time... Cons: My husband thinks the vetiver part smells like ozone...(Matter of personal preference) The twist cap is really annoying, not only is it extra time on and off, you have to twist the deodorant back down. I ended up just placing the cap on top, not twisting. It didn't work for me in high stress situations/polyester clothes This is not really a con, just-It gets a hole in the center as you get to the end(which isn't a deal breaker, but just feels like you're getting less?)
