Review on Schmidt's Aluminum Free Natural Deodorant: Geranium Flower for Sensitive Skin, 24 Hour Odor Protection, Cruelty-Free & Vegan, 3.25 oz by Elizabeth Morales

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Works well - I HATE the smell

I highly doubt this deodorant. On the other hand, it works very well. It controls body odor most of the day and doesn't mix uncomfortably with it when my natural stench does kick in (it's unpleasant in itself, but I'll get to that later), and it handles humidity quite well too. . I've only noticed wet armpits and odor on the craziest shifts (I work as a waitress) when I'm running like crazy and sweating from stress. Even then, rapid reapplication is required; I don't have to reapply it on a normal activity day. However, what I like best about this deodorant is that because it doesn't contain baking soda (my armpit skin is very sensitive), it doesn't itch or itch like almost all other natural deodorants. make. I can even apply it right after shaving and the irritation is still minimal. Now for the bad: I HATE the smell. Admittedly, I'm not exactly sure what geranium actually smells like, but I'm pretty sure it's not. It smells like rose water to me, which may have become unfamiliar with the addition of apple cider vinegar - so NOT what I want to smell like. And it's STRONG, you'll smell it for hours after you apply it (I think it's better than getting a BO rank smell, but just a little bit). As mentioned in other reviews, it's very thick and doesn't go through easily. However, my biggest problem with this is that it comes off all over my clothes. Thinking of going sleeveless? With this deodorant you can forget about that, especially if your shirts are dark. Bottom Line: At $10 a stick, I expect my deodorant to be fantastic, but this one just doesn't.
