Review on 🍃 Schmidt's Bergamot + Lime Deodorant, Aluminum Free, Natural 24 Hour Odor Protection, Vegan & Certified Cruelty Free, 3.25 oz by Smriti Pearson

The smell of this product is amazing! I mean INCREDIBLE! 🥰. I bought it because my regular AP that I've been using for years was discontinued and I wanted something more natural. As a breast cancer survivor, it was important for me to start making the switch to natural and organic foods. However, after several attempts to use this deodorant, I have had hard lumps in my armpits every time. I have sensitive skin so it's possible that this is the main, if not the main, reason why this product made me feel this way. Since these knots were painful and took forever to untie, I had to abandon them and find an alternative product. It worked reasonably well in terms of odor control, but due to the knots, I wasn't able to test the product long enough to make a full judgment. It's important to note that natural deodorants are NOT as effective as commercial APs. This is the compromise you have to make when looking for a natural deodorant as your pores won't get clogged in the same way as after using AP. Good for skin and body, bad for BO containment. Natural deodorants hold the smell for a while, but not as long as AP, so keep that in mind when shopping for ANY natural body odor product, and be prepared to apply more over time. If the product was as great as the smell, I would buy it again and again!
