Dr Teal's Aluminum Free Deodorant - Lavender - Paraben & Phthalate Free - 2.65 oz Pack of 2

I've tried many natural deodorants over a period of several years. I rank high on the stink factor scale and these never work for me. As good as my intentions are, I always go back to using an aluminum based product. I was intrigued by the magnesium base and I value the quality of Dr. Teal's Epsom Salts, a personal favorite, so I tried the Eucalyptus fragrance first. It had a very strong scent, perhaps like Irish Spring soap, nothing like eucalyptus. I was surprised that it kept me dry and free of BO but I couldn't tolerate the fragrance. Keep searching. I snuck a smell of the rose variety and my local Walmart. Oh my, it smelled like old lady cheap perfume. I am an old lady but I don't want to smell like one. Next I ordered the coconut from Amazon, and low and behold, it smelled like....coconut!! Perfection. I am trying this product in Phoenix, the hottest city in the US, and during the hottest summer ever recorded. It actually works for me. Perhaps because of the warm temps here, I have no problem applying it. The stick is dry so don't press hard, use a gentle downward stroke. I like that it doesn't feel creamy or wet or sticky. It goes on dry and stays dry. Coming inside after my daily walk, I will be sweating, but my pits are dry and odor free. Miracles do happen. This product might not work for everyone, but it surely does the job for me. I'm sold.

Works really well for the price

Product works well and has a pleasant fragrance. It does require you to hold the product on your skin a few seconds to warm the deodorant to make it glide on smoothly. (I don’t find that step a problem.)

I started looking for aluminum free deodorant about a year ago. I’ve tried a bunch of different brands but this one seems to last the longest. It has pros and cons. Pros: -I like the mild scent, coconut is my favorite. I wanted something that smells nice but not overpowering since I like to use scented lotion. -It works well on a normal stress free/non work out day. It is not an antiperspirant. You will sweat, but it helps so you don’t stink. I’m unfortunately cursed with my mom’s terrible body odor genes. But this is the one deodorant that don’t feel self conscious going out in public in. I’ve used a bunch of big brand deodorants and this works even better than those. If I do start to stink, I just apply again and I’m good to go. -It’s aluminum free, so safer long term for your health. -It’s not terribly expensive. Even the more expensive ones haven’t lasted as long as this one in my opinion. Cons: -You do sweat, it is not advertised as an antiperspirant, so don’t assume it is. -It’s hard to apply. It’s super thick, so you really need to push hard to get it on. It can irritate the skin from rubbing so hard. -It’s a white deodorant, not a gel, so it goes on white. It’s better if you like to wear comfy clothes like t-shirts, but not if you’re wearing black, tank tops, or fancy fabric clothes. -It does flake off, throughout the day. It’s kind of like dandruff on your pits 😅 Even with the cons, I’ve still decided to keep using this one. In my opinion, the pros outweigh the cons

I used Mitchum for years because it works like a bulldozer. But even the "unscented" smelled of chemical. I finally realized people were smelling that when they got near me. I guess it's OK for a guy to have that smell but, yeah, not really. Anyway, I love the smell of coconut so I tried Dr. Teals, and my God I smell like a freaking macaroon. It's so natural smelling, no chemical smell at all, and it really works. I bathe every day so I don't need it to work for 48 hours but I'm gonna guess it would work for probably 24 or 32 hours. I did smell the Dr. Teals eucalyptus, and, I think, rose. The smells weren't bad. I didn't detect chemical, but I'm just not a fan of eucalyptus or rose, unless it's in plant form.

This product does work for me. It does smell good. But it’s hard to apply. It literally doesn’t smear all. It’s like rough to put on and super dry. If you have armpit hair, it’ll be ripped off trying to apply it on. It’s like super hard. When you do get it on it’s like super drying. However it does work, I went to the gym with it on, it stayed on. I went all day at work with it, it last long. It just doesn’t go on well.

It has milk of magnesia in it which lasts forever. You can just use plain milk of magnesia but this is so much easier. It needs to be held under some warm water for a second to soften it but it works better than any other deodorant I have ever used.

The is the best natural deodorant I have used. It is the only one I use now. Great light smell, goes on smooth with no mess.
