Green Tidings Natural Lavender Deodorant | Vegan, Organic Underarm Care for Men and Women, Fragrance Free, Aluminum Free, Baking Soda-Based Formula (2.7 Ounce, Pack of 1)

Original Review: For years, I only used the "clinical strength" deodorant/antiperspirant. I thought I wasn't supposed to sweat at all, so I bought the expensive crap. It worked pretty well but I started learning about harmful chemicals found in hygiene products and deodorant seemed to be chock full of them!!! I was at a crossroads. I knew I couldn't have stinky or sweaty pits but I didn't want my body to be absorbing toxic chemicals either. I started my journey for a natural deodorant. I tried 4 store-bought brands with terrible results for every single one! Some made my armpits break out, some required more applications than I had time to even THINK about (let alone do), and some just straight-up left me stinky to the point where I couldn't even believe I smeared anything on them that day. I found the green tidings brand while doing a very intense internet search for deodorant. The top review, written by the tennis-playing man, had me curious. I figured I would try out one tube of the stuff to see if it lived up to its fancy reviews. My first observations: 1) wow, the lavender-scented one REALLY smells like lavender. Great for people that LOVE the smell of actual lavender, not so great for people that don't want to smell like a hippie. For the record, I love it. 2) It didn't really keep me from sweating all together (which I have learned now is a GOOD THING) but I so sweat significantly less than I did while using other natural brands 3) IT WORKS! I mean it! I don't stink when I use this stuff!!! 4) my husband (who is a very stinky man when he doesn't take proper precautions) used it and also fell in love. We now order the 3 packs and don't ever want to think about trying a different brand. Even the "negatives" about this product really aren't negatives. Just things that come with the product... 1) it's more expensive than the chemical-laden sticks at the drug store (but it's worth the extra dollars) 2) if you have a husband who loves to keep the house freezing cold, it may take a few passes over your skin before any of the product comes out. It's made with coconut oil so it hardens up when it's cold (buuuut I'm not mad about it because it's an easy thing to just rub the tube a few extra strokes AND I would rather have solid coconut oil for deodorant than aluminum. Any day.) In short, this is a fantastic natural deodorant. I prefer it to clinical strength brands. It's just as good, in fact, better (no harmful chemicals!!!) You should buy it. ---------------EDIT--------------- I have had to stop using this deodorant. After about a year and a half or two years of everyday use and excellent results, I began getting red, painful bumps on my underarms. I did a lot of trial and error to see what the cause was, and unfortunately, it was this deodorant. I even tried an "armpit detox" with activated charcoal and apple cider vinegar, as I found suggested online. Even after about 4 months of no use, I tried it again, only to have the same bumps come back. I am so confused about why I could use it for so long with no side effects and then suddenly, I had problems.

I have to say, that I usually do not write reviews on products. However I feel that this is one that has completely deemed it self 100% worthy of my time. Of course I read the copious amounts of reviews but I also like to have my own personal perspective on any product that I choose to use. I purchased this product because I recently started drinking a lot more wine, working out more, and eating clean. I also usually make my own deodorant, toothpaste, lotions etc. so buying this product was out of the norm for me, but I thought that it was necessary. No other deodorant seems to be able to hold the sweet odor that I produce. For some reason or other I actually produce a slight sweet red wine musky smell. For me I don't like it, however most of the people I know say they can't tell. Lies. AnyWho, nothing had seem to work for me at all. I tried just about every natural product that I could find on the shelves and all it did was basically makes funk with lavender and Teatree oil. That was not OK, and that is completely not sexy as a lady. The shipping for this product was relatively quick. I have Amazon prime so the product came into days. I took three photos of the packaging as it is packaged very very well. After unpackaging the item there is a leaflet inside that explains a little bit more about the product, not very much but just enough to give you a little bit about the company and the product. I have to say when I first got it I opened it up and put it on three swipes her arm, I did this at least 2 1/2 hours before going to the gym. A little bit goes a long way. I believe that this product has coconut oil in it so of course it warms to room temperature. With that being said doing more than one swipe will cause build up under your arms that can dry and have a clumpy affect. So I would personally recommend one swipe because anymore you'll be wasting the product because it the way that it melts to human temperature. I have to say that I immediately noticed no odor what so ever! I cannot believe that this year and actually mask the odor 100%. There was not even a hint of odor left at all. I had no rash no issues no itching no nothing. This product is absolutely so amazing, that I was able to not even have to wear the next Day after showering. I'm not exactly sure what's in it but whatever it is it is so amazing, that after the first day wearing this and it does wash off in the shower. There is no leftover residue. After wearing mess that I don't need to wear it every day. It is that good! I highly recommend this for anyone who has odor issues because I have yet to find anything natural at all and I seriously mean that, at all. Nothing over the shelf works. And I absolutely refuse to use the chemical induced deodorants that they have at local stores. This is the absolute best thing I have ever found and I will highly recommend this to anyone with odor issues, and anyone who wants something natural and does the damn job the right way!! I will be a long time, and lifetime proud supporter and purchaser of this product. As far as my order level I would rated on a very very low scale so for instants I work out four days out of my week, and I don't sweat a lot but I do sweat. So on a scale of 1 to 10 I would rate my order level on a bout a 2 1/2. Thank you thank you thank you thank you and I can't say thank you enough for making such an amazing product and I really really hope that everyone tries this because I was completely blown back and I will always buy this product. The reviews say it alone I've never seen anything with this many reviews before and there is a reason why. You guys are absolutely amazing buy this product!

It was quite bad. It's a paste and melts at normal temperatures. It's not a deo stick like it says.

Good
