Natural/Aluminum-Free Deodorant (with baking soda): Paraben Free, Phthalate Free, Not Tested on Animals (Lemongrass Patchouli)

We have tried (myself and for my tow teenagers) seven different natural deodorant products. Most of them work until you actually workout and then you smell like flowery or fruity B.O. SMARTY PITS WORKS! the scent is great and does not seem perfumey, the consistency is good - not too goopy or dry - it holds up all day long and it comes off easily in the shower. As a doctor i cannot stress enough the importance of using thoughtful and chemical free deodorants, especially for young developing bodies.Side Note: If you are transitioning TO natural deodorants there is a TRANSITION period where you will sweat a little ore and stink a little bit as your body adjusts and your sweat glands are actually allowed to breathe and work! but after that process, most people are good to go! Winter is the perfect time to make this healthy change and SMARTYPITS was good scents without smelling fake!

For (SmartyPits - Natural/Aluminum-Free Deodorant (with baking soda) 2.9oz (Baby Powder) After one whole month I am impressed by this deodorant. No itching, no discoloration, no rash. It's strictly the aluminum that causes me serious issues. The baking soda did me no damage. The aroma is gentle and I smell good all day long and even when I apply it at night I still smell good in the morning. I might sweat, but I don't smell like wet dog anymore. I don't get painful ingrown hairs either.This is a little sticky when applying. I put a dusting of powder on after rubbing on the deodorant and that takes care of the problem. No discoloration on my nice shirts, even after laundering. I still have a generous amount of the tube left. I anticipate this will last about 2 months for my average once daily use. Aside from the "sticky" issue this is almost a perfect replacement for Secret's baby powder deodorant.

This is the only natural deodorant I’ve found that combats smell! It even works if I put it in after my pits get stinky. My husband and I both have a stick we keep in the bathroom and separate sticks for our gym bags. The ONLY thing I don’t like is after a few days of use in a row, it leaves a rash under my arms. I have to stop using for a couple of days for it to clear up.

What I was using before this was Malin Goetz. Abt $35 a tube. It does last quite a while and I was very impressed with its performance. The pluses no more yellow stains and reeking underarms and horrible materials in the product... My under arms stilled smelled because of the nature of my work. But it was by far the best stuff that i knew about @ the time. I have gone 3 days now with this product and I am extremely happy with its performance. Spearmint smells great and @ the end of a long day (14 hours) my under arms hardly smelled @ all. I was blown away. Half the price and twice the strength. I recommend this product for now... lets see how long it lasts.

It is hard to find a natural deo with an easy powder scent. I don't want to smell like cucumbers and peaches, keep it simple and that's what this brand does. Not overbearing, just right. The company shut down and so I am hoping Amazon and my local TJ MAxx keeps this scent in stock

I’ve tried this deo in Cool Cucumber & Lavender Rose and got different results.Lavender Rose: very difficult to put on sometimes (very “sticky/waxy), scent doesn’t hold up as well as I’d like (I live in Europe where the summers are getting hotter & there’s hardly any a/c anywhere so definitely no a/c in my home so it’s HOT & I’m SWEATING). However, the darkness in my pits was gradually fading. The scent is very nice. And the stick lasted me about a month even with applying at least twice a day.Cool Cucumber: easier to apply, scent is nice but subtle. Again, scent doesn’t hold up very well but it is getting cooler & is holding up BETTER. Not longer, but definitely better. However, I keep getting clogged pores & pimples that are very painful because of the friction caused by arm movement. That alone is enough for me to not buy this specific one again.Not entirely sold on the brand & will be trying other brands.

So I LOVED this product SO MUCH.... BUT it stopped working!!! I first bought it in Feb. 2019 and I’m writing this review in July of 2020. I’m a nurse. I work 12-hour shifts. I CAN’T stink!!!! LOL But this stuff 100% stopped working for me. I am so very sad. Coconut mango is my favorite scent and I just bought a 2-pack of it recently... :( I have moved on to Native deodorant and if works like a charm. Schmidt’s scorched my armpits. I’ve read that, of course, we all have different chemical makeups and it’s just trial and error with deodorants that are free of aluminum. You just have to find which one works for you... some have pre- and probiotics in them that help people. Some people can’t tolerate the baking soda in them and it will turn their armpits dark. It’s crazy... But I’ve never had a deodorant stop working for me. I guess it’s a thing tho. I’m proof. LOL
