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.
Sulfate Free
Sulfates are synthetic chemical ingredients commonly used in beauty products and household cleaners, like shampoos and dish soaps. You can usually identify sulfates in an ingredients list by looking out for the most common types: Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLC) and Sodium Laureth Sulfates (SLES). These chemicals, often derived from petroleum, are used to help form the “lather” we’re used to seeing in our beauty and cleaning products. When used in the shower or sink, these chemicals can flow through the pipes and into our waterways. Synthetic sulfates have been linked to allergic reactions, eye and skin irritation, and hair loss, and some studies suggest they contain carcinogenic ingredients.

I initially really enjoyed this product. It was my first eco-friendly deodorant, and although I was apprehensive about it being a cream, I really liked it! It worked well and I didn’t notice any irritation.
However, the first time I waxed my underarms after using it was a disaster — I noticed redness and a burning sensation for the days afterward when I used this product. I didn’t connect that irritation to this product until a few waxes later (I had never had irritation post-waxing prior to using this product, even with other deodorants).
I wish it worked better for me, but unfortunately, it just isn’t compatible with my waxing 🙁

This is my first natural deodorant, and I’ve been impressed so far! I love the smell, it’s fresh and pleasant but not overwhelming. I have pretty sensitive skin but I wanted to try the one with baking soda since this brand’s sensitive skin option didn’t have quite as good reviews. I’ve noticed some minor irritation, but nothing I’m really concerned about.

I was apprehensive about using a deodorant from a jar because I wasn’t used to the idea. This product has totally changed that! It softens between my fingers which makes it easier to apply than any stick I’ve tried but it also doesn’t melt so much that it gets all over my hands. The consistency is super smooth and there is no white residue after!

I absolutely love the smell, the consistency, the ease of use, and the fact that it doesn’t leave white streaks. I’ve tried a few different brands (including Meow Meow Tweet and Schmidt’s) but all of them were chalky, crumbled when I put them on, left white streaks on my clothes that took serious washing to get out, and didn’t last. This is the best smelling one I’ve tried. My one problem is that it doesn’t last all day for me. Maybe I’m particularly smelly, but I have to reapply maybe 3 times throughout the day when I’m outdoors.

I was previously using Native because my family raved about it, but it didn’t work for me at all. I would end up smelling strongly by end of day and probably before that too. The fragrance was also way too strong. Glad I switched since this deodorant has worked great and has a lovely mellow scent that does not overpower. By the end of day I can smell my pits and they just smell like the the deodorant. Plus, the creamy deodorant soaks in and doesn’t leave me with lines of white or chunks like other ones have. Definitely recommend.

This is the first natural deodorant that I’ve found that actually works! With others, it will wear off and you end up stinky or sticky, but this one does a really great job at keeping you smelling fresh all day. Still waiting to see the long term effect on my clothes, but I am officially sold on this. Originally I was a little weirded out about using my hands to rub it in, but really it just feels like another lotion and is not gross. I also am not someone who writes reviews, so the fact that I am doing so now says a lot about how I feel about this product. Definitely recommend!

I’ve never tried a natural or aluminum free deodorant so I was hesitant to purchase some, however I LOVE this product. I put off buying something other than the traditional deodorant for so long because I always heard of people complaining about different issues that they have with them. This one goes on very smooth and lasts forever! Love the scent and there is no residue on my clothes or hands to deal with afterwards.

I have tried EVERY natural/aluminum-free/etc. deodorant out there. This is BY FAR the best one I’ve used. The balm goes on smoothly and absorbs into my skin — no residue on my clothes. I’ve been using this for a few days, no irritation and I smell good all day. I LOVE the subtle scent! My skin (and nose) can be sensitive to fragrance, but it’s really lovely. Very woodsy. Another EarthHero win!

I just put it on, don’t need to reapply all day, and it blends immediately so I do get any chalky residue to deal with.
