Review on Lavender Carolina Deodorant - No Aluminum or Parabens by Rhonda Ackerman

Revainrating 2 out of 5

How disappointing is their customer support.

**UPDATE** I bought unscented aroma after having success with coconut. I had trouble with it, RASH and just no deodorization. Instead of writing a bad review, I contacted the seller to ask questions about the differences. They answered immediately but didn't answer anything. Instead they offered to send me a jar with a different scent. I liked it! Weeks go by and I move on. It's been a month, I'm keeping track. It's been almost 2 months now, still nothing but weird excuses. I didn't ask for anything for free but I think that's bad customer service. Also strange. I will not buy a 3rd can at the moment. Instead I emailed PRIMAL PASTE and received amazing customer support! They answered questions with clarity and patience. Unfortunately, I wanted us to like Carolina Soap Works, but if the product is all good, not great, and the customer service is below that, why would I invest? After experimenting a lot, I ordered my second jar and decided this worked best. I love the texture and smell (coconut) and how few ingredients it has. I also love glasses. When I bought my first can I also bought 3 other brands to try. I did an armpit detox with regular deodorants (it took a few weeks but it was necessary!), it worked but I ended up having a reaction. I didn't know if it was an ingredient or if it was just my own sweat causing it. I stopped using it and applied hydrocortisone cream until it healed. I tried again with other 3 brands and the same story. A good few weeks, then itching, scratching, rash, repeated hydrocortisone. I gave my armpits a much needed break since it was winter. I ended up trying Carolina again. No reaction this time! On the extremely rare occasion that I feel itchy, I don't scratch my skin. I can rub it and that's it. I NO MORE IRRITATION OR RASH. It is effective as a deodorant. This is not an antiperspirant, so you will perspire. This is useful. Enjoy. For beginners, do an armpit detox when removing aluminum antiperspirant. Note: I use natural black soap to wash my armpits in the shower. It acts like an antibacterial soap. I love this deodorant!
