Review on Mona Brands Lavender Deodorant: Aluminum-Free, Natural & Gentle 2-Pack for Women & Men by Maria Williams

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Made in the USA, Recyclable, Cruelty Free, No Aluminum, No Baking Soda

I have a lot of experience with this deodorant and other brands like it. It's all about magnesium. i never stink And it's not like I'm sitting around doing nothing. I have a physical job and even when I'm not at work my personal life is quite active. I found that I didn't smell after applying Mona's all-natural zinc-magnesium based orange-scented deodorant. NO BADING SODA - hooray! I am sensitive to baking soda deodorants and have been using magnesium products for several years. They were hard to find and it's only recently that I've seen more offers. Nice that there are more options to try. Remember this is a deodorant. It doesn't say "antiperspirant". So if you are a very sweaty person, these types of deodorants may not work for you. However, this product helps ABSORB sweat. It just doesn't block the sweat glands like traditional antiperspirants do. Like any deodorant of its kind, it doesn't just glide on the skin. Take the product and press it against the hole for a moment, your body heat will heat it enough that it can be held without pulling. If your home is warm or the weather is hot/humid, it may already be soft enough to apply easily. This is how almost every brand of this kind works. I really like the ingredients. I find the scent doesn't last as long as the Schmidts say. When I first switched to aluminum-based deodorants and antiperspirants, I was afraid I would stink or sweat under the pits. I figured even cutting aluminum based products would make an improvement. So I've saved a few traditional products for the hottest, sweatiest, and possibly stinkiest times of the week (or year). While I still have a few on hand, I've found that I don't really need to use them. My body tolerates magnesium-based deodorants very well (in fact, I can take some liquid milk of magnesia and rub it on my armpits and feel good all day. Crazy, right? Magnesium just works so well). In any case, food for thought. You don't have to commit yourself completely to the product. Maybe it's one combination for most days and another for certain particularly smelly/sweaty periods. or the other way around. traditional in most cases, and then use that (or something similar) as a pause. I use this in cool fall weather, but so far so good. I think I like the other brand more because of the longevity of the scent, but the performance of this one was good. 2 packs last me a long time. I'm not sure yet if that's a ransom, but that's a consideration. In general, a lot of interesting things, everything is said in the product description. I think it's definitely worth trying.
