Naturally Fresh Deodorant Crystal
For a few years now I have questioned the health problems associated with deodorant/antiperspirant use (breast cancer, Alzheimer's, kidney disease, etc.). Even though research hasn't definitively linked the two it just doesn't make sense to me to slather the chemicals found in deodorant/antiperspirant onto your skin. Having said that, I wasn't willing to trade my deodorant for smelling a little too natural, if you know what I mean.
A couple of weeks ago I ran out of deodorant and found myself reading labels in the deodorant aisle. I came across this deodorant crystal and, for less than $4, thought I would give it a try (I did buy two packages of my "go to" deodorant just in case this crystal didn't work!). What drew me to this crystal was not only the price but the ingredients: Natural Mineral Salts and Aloe Vera. That's it. No extra junk. I came home and researched it a bit and sure enough it got quite a few great reviews!
I have been using this crystal for a couple of weeks now and it really works! Even when I'm working out I don't have a problem with odor. The application is a bit strange, though...you wet it with tap water and then roll it on. So far I have been very happy with it!
At 34 weeks pregnant I feel good knowing that the deodorant I'm using isn't harming my baby or me. I'm also happy to have found this before baby arrives and breastfeeding begins!
PROS:
- Inexpensive (find it at Target, Walmart, amazon.com)
- No white residue
- Excellent ingredients
- It really works!
CONS:
- Have to moisten to apply it (may be a problem if not near a water source when applying it)
- It is a deodorant, not antiperspirant (I haven't had problems with this, though)
