Little Seed Farm All Natural Deodorant Cream, Aluminum Free Activated Charcoal Deodorant for Women or Men - Cedar Vanilla, Net Wt. 2.4oz | 68g

It’s been a bit of trial and error to find a decent aluminum free deodorant that also have simple, straightforward ingredients. A month in, this one works great so far in the winter/spring shift. May update in the summer to see if it holds up to the desert heat.The main scent itself isn’t very pungent. What I’ve noticed more is that while you can’t smell it much later, you can’t really smell sweat either. Which is a big drawback to lots of deodorants no matter what the brand/type, once the fragrance is gone it’s back to gross. This does make sense though, the ingredients are way more natural to the body than some crap they put in stuff. Since the smell comes from our sweat interacting with bacteria, things like this seem much better on the long run!Lavender scent is nice and natural smelling! Very complimentary to floral perfume layering. I look forward to trying a new scent when this is up! There’s a citrus one that has the best reviews but didn’t come in, in time for my trip that I got this for.

Finally, a cream deo that doesn't contain irritating baking soda! Hooray!!! I've been using this cream for about a month now, and it WORKS! No stink! I bought the lavender scent and love it-very floral and peaceful, and not overpowering. A very little goes a long way, and b/c of that-this little tub will last me a long while. So a good value for the cost. I have been using natural deo's for over a decade, and sometimes I like to rotate and try new products as they come across my radar. This one will definitely be in my rotation of favorites! One tip for natural deo's: after applying, spray lightly with a salt-spray like Thai Deo mist and dry it with a hairdryer on the cool setting. Bulletproof combo!

Oh my gosh, this stuff is the real deal! To find a natural deodorant that not only works, but works for extended periods of time AND overnight AND while I’m sweaty? Unheard of. I’ve been in the natural deodorant space, so to speak, for over a decade now and I’ve used and tried many different natural deodorants, I including big brand names, and I’ve never in my life come across something so effective. No allergic reaction and works incredibly well? Sign me up. Forever.Anyway, I know we all have a unique bio composition and it may not be for everyone-but I was about to give up on natural deodorant before coming across this. It works, ya’ll. And I can be a stinky person when I’m sweaty. 10/10.

This works so well!!! I’ve been using it for over a month now and it is the best nontoxic deodorant I have ever used. No BO smell even when I sweat a lot and after the gym. The scent is nice too—not too strong or masculine. Lasts all day too. The only thing I don’t particularly like is having to scoop the product out of the jar. I know they sell a scooper but I think for the price, it should include one. I just use my fingers or a wooden popsicle stick. Overall, it is very effective and worth the money if you are looking for a nontoxic deodorant option that actually works!

When putting the stuff on, I felt no itch or dryness while I went on my day. The cream smells really good as they're weren't kidding about spearmint as a natural ingredient. The reason why it's 4 stars (not 5) is that the sweat comes in a little while, making my armpits drenched. Turns out, I used too much that I needed, so I say use a small amount.That's is all and I want to say try it for yourself!

I can't even believe I'm writing this already. I just took delivery on the lavender version day before yesterday. After my shower, I used a SMALL PEA SIZED amount. I tapped it between my fingers, then rubbed it into each armpit. (Note here that I used only the small pea sized amount, split between both pits). I rubbed it in. I wasn't sure if it was enough.Well, yesterday I had some things to do outside. It was 89° with a 105° heat index. It's so humid, you can cut the air with a knife. I was drenched in sweat. Then I cleaned the 2nd floor after fixing dinner, again drenched in sweat.My armpits were definitely damp. I got as close as possible and took a whiff. All I smelled was a light lavender. There was absolutely no body Odor. I used my fingers and rubbed each pit. NO body odor, I mean nothing! I've never had a deodorant work like that.For comparison, the day before I used Secret, just because it was in the cabinet. I started the same job I finished yesterday. I had a slight body odor. I'm sure no one else would have noticed; it was very light,not horrific, but it was present.I've switched to natural deodorants instead of antiperspirants. My husband's armpits kept itching. He hated using deodorant and frankly, he needs them. After I bought a natural deodorant made by Salt and Stone, he liked wearing it and it worked. I've also developed an itch when I use antiperspirants. I tried his Salt and Stone and it worked as well as the Secret, or any other well-known brand names, like Almay. I also tried 3 others, including MagSol and Native. Another was a solid gel, but it didn't work as well as my goto which was Almay Gel. The MagSol worked as well as any other, but the solid is too solid and dry feeling, making it more difficult to use. I found the Native worked the best, lasting 48-72 hours. My only criticism is that it was extremely strong smelling; it's overwhelming. I prefer that my deodorant be very lightly scented, or completely unscented. I was running out of the Native. I wanted to try a cream. I almost bought Lume. My search lead me to this one. The ratings are excellent, so I bought it.I've honestly never used an antiperspirant or deodorant that works this well. I have a degree in biochemistry. I know Magnesium (mg) is in the same chemical category as aluminum. I've used antiperspirants that have Zinc instead of aluminum. They don't work as well. Mg is the working ingredient in all of the natural deodorants that I've tried, and it works as well as aluminum.One of 2 things are happening here:1. There is a unique combo of ingredients, including the mg, which makes this stand out. Or:2. The cream form works better than any solid deodorant, because you can really get it onto, and rub it thoroughly into, every area of the armpit.I think it's #2. I had 2 rotator cuff surgeries a year ago on my right shoulder. In one month, I'm scheduled for rotator cuff surgery on the left. My range of notion is very good, considering the damage to both shoulders, but it's not normal. I can't completely lift my arms, so it's harder to apply a solid stick deodorant. My fingers can do a better job, plus I rub it in. A solid deodorant is rubbed on, not in. I think it's the cream presentation that makes this work exceptionally well. Plus the cream just disappears. I can't feel anything there once it's rubbed in.The lavender smell is light and not overwhelming. It's true lavender. It's a lovely clean smell. I will never go back to using a stick deodorant. Unless something changes, this is the deodorant I'll use. It's pricier than the name brands, but remember that you lose at least 25% of a stick, because you can't reach all of it. It'll fall out when you get towards the end, and a bunch is stuck in the applicator. You can get to 100 of a cream, especially when it's in a jar.I have absolutely no intention of trying any other brands of deodorant. I'll add to this review if something changes.
