Schmidts Natural Deodorant Ylang Ylang Calendula Review

At first I really liked this product. I've been using it for over a month. Actually, I only ordered bergamot and lime because I used up the whole stick. But suddenly I had painful bumps in my armpits. I thought I might have an ingrown hair but realized the painful bumps were on both armpits. I've never had a localized red rash as seen in photos in some other product reviews, but the bumps are painfully sore. I'm not sure what I was suddenly reacting to, but it's disappointing because I thought…

Smells great - initially it worked better than Toms or other natural deodorants I've tried - but after using it for about a week I started to get bumps in my armpits. I thought my lymph nodes were swollen - a lump under each arm - and went to the doctor because they hurt. He suggested it wasn't deodorant as it didn't itch but rather hurt. The doctor advised me to stop using deodorant and the pimples disappeared. I really wanted to like it - it smells so good and does wonders to keep me dry…

I've been using it for almost a month. The scent is pleasant, but the ylang ylang is too strong for me. It usually keeps me from getting stinky even in Arizona in the summer, so it gets the job done. BUT: it's very crumbly, even if I follow the directions and wait for it to "soften up". Maybe I won't wait that long? Maybe the one I have is old? This is fine for most days, but I don't like it for nicer occasions when I can't get deodorant down my shirt. And while it doesn't burn my skin like…

I don't normally write reviews but in this case I thought I had to. I'm a big fan of Tom's Marigold but I can't find it locally and it was outrageously expensive here so I decided to give this brand a try. The smell is a bit sweet for me, but pleasant enough. I got pea and marble sized red welts and very itchy armpits pretty quickly after using it which are now PEELING! I have sensitive skin but I've never experienced anything like this with a personal care product. It is also very difficult…

I wasn't expecting much from this deodorant but my goodness was I surprised. I opened it up and put it on. After applying, I noticed that the wand looks uneven and a bit scratchy. Although I didn't feel it at all. I also noticed an odor that wasn't like perfume or fruit. It was a different smell. I didn't particularly bother, but it wasn't a bad smell anyway. I also noticed that after 16 hours there was absolutely no odor or bad smell. My first opinion (before applying) was that I wasted my…

I was so excited to get this product, the reviews were great and I was looking for a natural deodorant that worked well. It's been about a month and the first few weeks have been spectacular. The deodorant worked so well, better than its chemical counterparts. I might even skip a day! The deodorant was very dry when applied and tightened the skin, but that was a minor inconvenience. However, after about 2 weeks, I noticed that my armpits were starting to discolour, turning dark brown. After…

While deodorants don't technically block sweat, they also don't expose us to all the metals and chemicals found in antiperspirants, particularly aluminum (which releases sweat-blocking salts), cyclomethicone (for quick drying), and moisturizers (for the swipe ability). The skin under the armpits (as well as under the tongue) is particularly prone to absorbing anything we apply there (and although the particle size of cyclomethicone is theoretically too large for absorption should aluminum…

i tried three different types of Schmidts natural deodorants and ylang ylang calendula is the least effective and smells bad, i didn't finish it and stopped using it because of the smell. It doesn't smell bad when you put it on, it even smells earthy and good, but after a full day I felt wet in my armpits and groin like I'd been cooking in a hot kitchen all day with heavy herbs and spices instead of one air-conditioned offices print reports. I've been using it every day for over a month…
