Paraben Free
Parabens are synthetic chemical preservatives, commonly used in beauty products like shampoo, lotion, and deodorants. Parabens can accumulate in your body, and have been linked to hormonal disruption and reproductive problems. In studies of breast cancer patients, parabens have been found in the tissue of cancerous tumors–yikes! If you want to avoid Parabens in your beauty products, keep an eye out for methylparaben, propylparaben, butylparaben, and ethylparaben in the ingredients list.
Phthalate Free
Phthalates are found in toys, electronics, personal care products, plastic wraps, containers, and more. These petroleum based chemicals help soften plastics, and bind fragrances to perfumes, deodorants, creams, and other personal care products. Phthalates are are not chemically bound, meaning they can easily get released into the air, water, or your body, just by using the products as intended. Phthalates have been found to disrupt the endocrine system, which can cause reproductive damage, hormonal imbalances, infertility, mood changes, metabolism changes, and more.

This just did not work for me, I found I had a noticeable (unpleasant) odor at the end of the day which was unfortunate because I work from home currently and I am not doing any significant exercise or movement causing perspiration. Pricey for the amount as well.

Hi Judith, thank you for sharing your feedback! We’re bummed that this zero-waste deodorant did not work out as you’d hoped. All of our body chemistry is a bit different, and some react better/worse to baking soda in personal care products. Our team will be in touch shortly to help find a better option for you!

Love the smell and it goes on nicely without burning my skin. I love that it’s plastic free. It works better than other products I’ve tried, but I’d still say it’s good not great. It was smaller than I was expecting for the price. Like with all natural deodorants I’ve tried, I have to reapply, which means I’ll go through it faster and it’s pretty expensive for that small of a stick. I haven’t tried it in summer heat yet either.

I love this product. I bought it for myself and my daughter. We both love the scent. It goes on easy, has recyclable container, and doesn’t contain any unnecessary chemicals. Works great as a deodorant.

I was about to give up on natural deodorant because I couldn’t find one that worked for me when I decided to try this one. Smells great and keeps me dry all day. I have sensitive skin and this deodorant works great, no irritation. The container is a little small, but I am happy with the product!

I have tried countless natural deodorants and am typically allergic to most, this one has not caused any irritation and goes on super smoothly and smells great. It isn’t partially strong for this sweaty gal but works most of the time.

I have tried so many deodorants, both regular and natural, and I have always struggled with BO. This is the first deodorant that I have tried that has finally worked well!! I love it so much, I have even bought Meow Meow Tweet deodorant for my friends as gifts. I am so happy to use something that works and also plastic free!

I’ve tried quite a few natural deodorants (including Lush, Schmidts, Lavanilla, etc) and this was the first one to control odor without an overwhelming scent. If it can make it through an ER shift it can make it through anything!

I love the smell of the grapefruit deodorant and it is super smooth to apply and gentle on my skin. I find the scent noticeable but not overpowering and have gotten some compliments. If I was planning on being out in the hot sun all day or doing anything that would make me particularly sweaty I would definitely need to reapply.

I love the smell of this product, but it doesn’t last long on me if I am doing anything strenuous. Great for a low activity deodorant. I also am not a fan of the packaging. It is difficult to open and close and the stick tends to slide down while I’m applying it. Next time I’ll probably go for a jar deodorant.

I work for a parcel delivery company in north carolina, and this deodorant is strong enough to last a whole day in 90 degree plus weather. It doesnt stop me from sweating but definitely keeps me from smelling like onions haha. I will continue to use this product.

Hi Carmen! We’re so sorry that this deodorant didn’t stand up to the all-day wear test. We’ve found that often baking soda deodorant can help if baking soda-free deodorants don’t work as well as hoped (and vice versa!) We love this deodorant by Fat and the Moon for keeping you and your pits sweat and odor-free all day long!

I purchased the Cedar spruce stick for my first try at zero waste deodorant. I have been using aluminum free deodorant and was previously using Schmidt’s deodorant, which I will still use. This stick has a nice smell to it and it does help to reduce odor. I like that it is completely zero waste. The application is easy, but the deodorant itself is thick and stays on the pits after it stops working. I am using this for the first time in summer heat, so I have to give it props for working decently. Though I wish it wasn’t as thick and worked for longer.

This deodorant is awesome! I got the Rose Geranium scented one, which I was on the fence about, but was the only one in stock. I actually ended up loving the scent! It feels great, glides on easily, haven’t really had to reapply. I love that it comes in a cardboard tube, so I can just chuck it in my compost bin at the end of its life cycle. The price is a little up there for deodorant. In the future I may go back and forth between this one and my Schmidt’s jar deodorant.

For the price of this guy, the size of the tube and overall amount of product seems slightly disappointing. I bought the rose geranium scent and was also slightly disappointed because I barely got a hint of rose geranium, the deodorant doesn’t smell unpleasant just not expected. For me, this deodorant just didn’t work. It’s hard for me to find a natural deodorant that doesn’t make me smell really bad a couple hours after application and this one made me smell similar to what a baking soda deodorant does (if you know, you know and it isn’t pleasant). Also the formula is very thick and I found that it just created a sticky film on my under arms that stayed even after it stopped working. Don’t get me wrong, this deodorant isn’t bad by any means, it just doesn’t work for me and my body chemistry and I think anyone should give it a try. It did not irritate my skin by any means and the cardboard tube is a major plus.

This deodorant isn’t as good as say a grocery store, aluminum containing deodorant, but it comes pretty darn close. Nice scent. Wish it wasn’t so expensive for a little tube…

I haven’t bought deodorant in a while due to not being able to find a zero waste option. Now that summer is coming I decided to give in and try this product out. I love the paper packing and the scent is very pleasant. I love how easily it is to use. I would definitely buy again.

I enjoy the scent for this item, and it keeps me smelling good! The packaging was a little hard to use at first since it fits on so tight, but it gets easier 🙂

I love the rose scent- it’s subtle, feminine, & lasted all day for me even after a brisk walk outside. I have hyperhydrosis & sweat a lot on my hands, feet & underarms. Even though this is a pricey compared to traditional brands it’s worth it to not go around smelling like I just left the gym all day!

love this product. have been wearing natural deodorant for ages, but looking for one that’s zero waste to avoid all the plastic of most others. this one smells great, comes in a compostable tube, and is also baking soda free (many ‘natural’ deodorants use baking soda, which is super basic and really awful for the body’s pH). this is a total win.

Love how smooth this applies and the cardboard container instead of getting deodorant on my hands. I carried this in a purse on a day where I thought I’d need to reapply – I ended up not needing to but was super happy it travels so well. The scent was more subtle than I expected but I loved that (I got cedar spruce). It is smaller than I expected, but I think the smooth application and hard work it puts in is worth it.

I’ve tried a ton of “natural” deodorants, most of them wear off early and don’t go the distance. This is the first product I’ve used with “safe” ingredients (the jury is still out on magnesium hydroxide) that really works AND doesn’t cause a rash. I apply heavily in the am (it says use just a little, but I use several swipes), give it some time to melt in before putting clothing/sweaters directly on it, the scent lasts all day until bedtime and when I wake up the next morning you know what I smell like a full 24 hours later? Nothing. Finally!
Also, this Cedar Spruce flavor is so incredibly yummy- I’m a huge fan of earthy, fresh, gender neutral smells, and this is perfect.
Now, my only complaint is the price: this is a very small tube. I’ve found other options that are twice the size, very similar ingredients, also zero waste in a cardboard tube, and the same cost. Check out Silver Falls Sustainability Co- I’m still waiting on my product to arrive but with the similarity in ingredients it should work just as well. If not then I guess I’ll be back for this one!

Question
korinaw910 –
I’ve tried researching the safety of magnesium hydroxide in skincare and have come up with mixed answers from it’s completely safe to a worry of absorption and buildup in the body. How safe would you say the magnesium hydroxide is in this product? I would love to start using because of the paper applicator but I just have concerns. Thanks!

EarthHero –
Hi, Korina! Great question- we love that you are doing research on ingredient safety! We pride ourselves on only offering products with the safest and most sustainable ingredients. Magnesium hydroxide is a less irritating alternative for those with sensitive skin who may be irritated by baking soda that is commonly used in natural deodorants to absorb sweat. The amount used in this deodorant is safe for skin and excellent at stopping smelly pits 🙂

I love that this product came in low waste packaging and I love the smell. However, it didnt quiet have me covered the entire day. By about mid day I was back to having an odor problem.

I’ve tried a handful of zero waste deodorants and always end up stinky within a few hours. OR they are so firm that it feels like rubbing dry soap across your skin. This is by far the best deodorant I’ve used! Smells great, gets the job done and applies like a dream! I will definitely be repurchasing!
