Baking Soda Free Zero Waste Deodorant Cream

This worked pretty well, requiring re-application for long days. Unfortunately, during drier seasons, I noticed this dried out/slightly irritated my underarms (mildly itchy redness, occasional bumps). I think I'll be able to switch back to this product to use it up once the dry months are over, but for that reason, I don't think I'll purchase again.

I am so happy I found Meow Meow Tweet Deodorant Cream! It goes on like a lotion and works really well. Smells wonderful, I love the lavender. It doesn't flake or stain my clothes. And I feel really happy about helping the environment by buying a product naturally made with no plastic waste. I feel the LOVE!

I have been using this deodorant for several months now and here are the things that I don't care for: 1) The oil separated from rest of the product and leaked out of the metal tin. I did my best to mix it in but now I have relatively hard product to use. It softens once I apply it but it is a bit tricky to get the right amount out of the tin. 2) The tin is not easy to close. The lid does not want to screw on properly and, even if you get it on correctly, it sticks when you try to open it. Glass jars work much better. 3) The effect does not last all day. To be honest, I have found this to be true of all baking soda-free deodorants (darn my sensitive skin) but this one seems to last the shortest time of all that I have tried.

In short, it's not terrible. It's somewhat effective and it has a nice fragrance but I will not buy it again.

actually keeps stink off for a while. doesn’t give me a rash. i have repurchased many times. i likely will continue to

My skin is, unfortunately, quite sensitive. I use natural products not just because they seem to be more sustainable, but because my armpits are sensitive to ingredients found in OTC deodorants, like aluminum. However, I also have bad reactions to other common ingredients in more natural varieties of deodorant, including baking soda and many different scents (lavender and citrus in particular).

This doesn't leave me with many effective options. However, this deodorant is a game changer. It is unscented, doesn't contain any harsh ingredients (natural or not), and is packaged sustainably. And best of all, it lasts all or most of the day (I never judge a deodorant by needing to be reapplied after work sometimes). If you have sensitive skin and have been searching for an effective product, give this a try!

Light refreshing smell. I prefer the deodorant pastes in jars over the sticks.

I was in love with this deodorant from Day 1.

I like this deodorant SO much more than other healthy/eco deodorants I've tried (Native was too rough on my skin during application, Fat and the Moon is yellow and stained my clothes).

I used this deodorant for about 9 months when I thought my skin was sensitive to baking soda (due to a bad experience with another deodorant brand). I've since found out I'm not sensitive to baking soda and have switched to another product, but I liked this deodorant a lot! A little goes a long way, it goes on easily, and it smells very nice (I got the grapefruit). I sweat pretty easily, so had to reapply at least once or more if it was an active day, but on less active days it would usually work through the whole day. The only challenge, as can be expected, is that you need to wash your hands after applying, which doesn't allow for the same quick and easy reapplication that a stick deodorant does. But if you're sensitive to things in other deodorants and looking for a good low-waste product, I would recommend this one!

Years upset with other deodorant from drugstores and irritated and itchy armpits. I love the gentle formula and the subtle citrus hint leaves no rashes (using couple weeks now) and love this part of my regimen now. It melts in your fingers and has a non greasy formula. Just reapply if you need a little more to help with odor.

Really hated this option--it was messy to put on (gets all over your fingers since it's creamy) and it did not work AT ALL. I would wear this for a few hours and still be stinky. (And I had been switched to various plastic-free and aluminum-free options for at least 3 months by this point.) Definitely do not recommend this.

This cream deodorant blends in smooth and has a great, subtle scent. I love not contributing to plastic waste stream!

I've used this deodorant a few time and I like it. The lavender version smells wonderful. I don't have a spoon, so I use my finger to apply the deodorant. It's easy enough to put on and it doesn't feel weird. During the summer i had a higher chance of sweating, but that's happened with other deodorant too, so I'm not really bothered. I can't remember if the deodorant left a stain on my darker clothes, but the white shirt I wore recently was fine.

This deodorant works for me, but it if your a heavy sweater, it may not be for you. I like that it doesn't require a lot of working in or warming with your hands to get it to spread. It's smooth and creamy, but doesn't feel greasy. And the smell is nice, and subtle. I do sometimes have to apply it more than once during the day, but I don't mind. I recommend this for average daily use for light sweaters.

I love that its vegan and baking powder free since baking powder makes my underarms itchy. It smells great and doesn't leave my underarms feeling oily or wet which has happened to me after using other natural deodorants. high recommend!

I hate sweating so much and since becoming a vegan I searched high and low for cruelty free deodorants that actually work. After many mistrials I discovered Schmidt's, but they discontinued sensitive skin solids. Essential oil products irritate my skin so in search again I located this at Earth Hero. It is more of a cream and I was a bit dubious, but tested and it is effective and that means a lot seeing I sweat heavily. I like this product!

I switched to this product as a Dove loyalist and "natural" product skeptic, drawn in by the plastic-free packaging. Quarantine seemed like the perfect time to try a new deodorant. I was really pleasantly surprised by the product! It's very smooth to apply, smells very mild and nice though it is unscented, perfect for day-to-day wear, and only starts to get a little bit iffy with light exercise in the summer heat. I remove a star because I watched a youtube video by Dr. Dray (MD) about natural deodorants, and she talked about the importance of not using deodorants with a basic pH or else you risk creating a better environment for the odor-causing bacteria and causing irritation. After maybe 2-4 weeks of use I personally have not had any issues, but her opinion trumps my own here. I wish there were an option to buy a more acidic version of this product with the aluminum salts found in most drugstore deodorants, which is an ingredient that the medical literature supports (and I think there is a huge hole in the market for a plastic-free aluminum antiperspirant/ deodorant!!). Ultimately I do love meow meow tweet's ethos so I will continue to buy from them, but I'm not sure yet if this deodorant will be a repeat purchase.

I have tried more than 10 different natural deodorants and I found that each dried my skin out so much that it would crack and bleed. This is the only deodorant that keeps the odor away and my pits happy. No red skin.

I, at first, was hesitant to buy this product because I have had some great success with other natural brands, but I REALLY wanted to go plastic free. I am a constant sweater: day and night. I tried this before bed, woke up without odor. Then I applied some before walks/runs, and afterwards there was still a slight smell of BO but even I had to have a few sniffs to really smell it. My clothes--after the exercise--also had the slight smell of BO but it was hard to notice. My partner, who has a keen sense of smell, didn't even notice the slight smell. On terms of the product smell, when first applied, it smell like a subtle grapefruit (which I like). After a full day, it goes away and you are left scent less. In conclusion, I am definitely going to try this brand again, and perhaps the ones with baking soda or other essential oils will eliminate that ever so slight odor. All in all, I am satisfied!
