It it important to note that this is a deodorant only, not an anti-perspirant. This product really isn't designed to keep you from sweating, just to keep you from stinking. For many, sweating really isn't the issue, it's odor. We're just so used to buying combination anti-perspirants and deodorants that we may not know whether or not we really need an anti-perspirant. I am a person who benefits from an anti-perspirant. But since I'm really wanting to make this switch, I'm going to be investigating ways of being able to stay dry as well as odor-free!
Crystal® offers two lines of natural deodorants
- Unscented Crystal Body Deodorant® Stick, Roll-On, Spray and original Rock (aka deodorant stone). Made with all natural mineral salts.

I too am trying to go more natural. Would love to try those to see if I could go without antiperspirant. In the meantime if you find a natural alternative that does both will you let us know? I find anything impressive if it lets fewer chemicals flow into my body!
ReplyDeleteI love the Skin Deep site. If it gets their stamp if approval, it's definitely something I want to try. I will go buy this if I don't win! (P.S. During the cooler winter months I have much better luck with the natural deodorants I have tried... But that was before I really started working out. I have sweat more in the last month than in the entire last year!)
ReplyDeleteWhat impresses me most? That you didn't stink! ;) I have tried some naturals and like some better than others. Also--I'm with Brigid--the more I can control my tendency to sweat, the more success I have with the natural deodorants.
ReplyDeleteVery curious to try.
I really like the crystal deo. I'm a very heavy, i mean VERY HEAVY sweater, and I have tried every deoderant on the shelf (including some men;s!) and none of them work. I like the crystal because I have zero order with the crystal. Yes, I still sweat, but at least i'm not stinky ;)
ReplyDeleteOH, and I don't care for the roll on. It just doesn't seem to work (for me) as well.
ReplyDeleteI've been trying natural deodorants for a while (and have tried just going without :-P ), as I went pretty much cold turkey on using unnatural beauty products a while back (eek!). I have NOT tried this one yet though. I'm totally impressed that there was no odor and now I really want to try it. I'd love to win - lol - but if I don't, I'll buy this product and try it out anyway. So glad you shared! :)
ReplyDeleteI've been using the Crystal stick for about a month now, so far I think it's awesome.
ReplyDeleteIt's not often you find something that's healthy/natural/eco-friendly AND gives your inner cheapskate a happy.
neat! i'm also trying to move away from chemicals in all areas, so this sounds really neat. usually natural products are not very good, but sounds like this one is worth a try!
