Review on Deodorant Deodorizer Cruelty Free Essential Unscented by Sasha Hsiao

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Best deodorant I've ever used

I'll start with the bad. Having to stir it before each use can be annoying. Recently my small stirring stick that came with the product broke in half because I was in a rush and tried to stir too fast. When the chopstick falls down, it will be covered with oil coming off the tip and you have to try to hold this tiny chopstick with slippery fingers. You might want to use a popsicle stick or something else to stir it up. Also, I noticed some darkening of my armpits after prolonged use, and those are leftovers. I clean with soap and a washcloth, but that doesn't completely remove it. I get that with every natural deodorant I've tried, to be honest, so I'm used to it. I do a weekly exfoliation to remove buildup. It's important to note that this is not an antiperspirant, as others have pointed out, so you're still hydrated. Now about pluses. This is the best deodorant I've ever tried, natural or not. I have very sensitive armpit skin and am allergic to many deodorants but this one gave me no problems although they contain essential oils which I was concerned about. Although I'm still sweating, my armpits don't smell. There doesn't seem to be even a hint of an unpleasant smell. I live in Phoenix and I'm a tall woman and let me tell you if I forget to put on deodorant I'll start smelling within 20 minutes. I was so surprised at how well it got rid of the odor that I asked my mom to smell my bones and she confirmed they didn't smell like anything. In that spirit of honesty, I've usually showered every 2-3 days since we've been in quarantine, and this deodorant easily lasts 48 hours without the need for reapplication. So yeah the jar is small but it lasts a long time and you only need a little so it will last at least a month or two. I have a floral scent which is nice but to be honest the smell wears off pretty quickly and at this point it's almost like an unscented deodorant. I found that it dries fairly quickly. I usually put it on right after I shower, then put on body lotion, do my hair and stuff, and then it's dry. Overall I think the effort of mixing is worth it given the quality of the product. I believe they also sell a stick version that fixes the mixing problem, but I haven't tried it because I'm worried the quality might not be the same. It's a great odor killer, so if you don't mind a bit of exercise and pit moisture, this is one of the best products out there.
