Kaiame Naturals Natural Deodorant (Lavendar) with Activated Charcoal Powder, All Natural and Organic Ingredients, No Aluminum, Parabens, or Phthalates

I'm actually kind of blown away at how much I love this! I have pretty sensitive skin and prior to this, had not found any deodorant (even natural, organic ones) that did not somehow still irritate my skin, especially after shaving! So because of this, I have had to settle with non-fragrance deodorants to keep my skin irritation minimal but it obviously gave no help for smell...I got the lavender and I think it smells great (like I think actually true essential oil, not like the heavy soapy kind of fake lavender smell) and the smell is not really overpowering or anything, it's like just the right amount, in my opinion. Anyways!For some reason lately I feel like my pits had been smelling worse so I thought I would give it a try to scan natural products and their reviews. I was basically already sold on this just due to it's ingredients, I thought it was at least worth a try, but the reviews helped.I noticed some people said it caused them to no longer have bad smelling pits. Some said it didn't help. Some mentioned it did after some length of time from detoxing... Well, I've had this for less than a week and it's working amazing for me! Before I would try using my no fragrance stuff more than once a day just hoping to help, and sometimes even after showers I didn't feel like the odor was fully gone. Somehow this has taken that away! I should note, right before trying this I did experiment with a homemade mixture of bentonite clay and activated charcoal for my face and body, so that could have made a difference? But I'm not sure if it would really had made THIS much of a difference.For me, this is pretty pricey considering the little container you get. But, I don't even need to use a pea sized amount like the directions say, so for me I think this should last long enough to justify the cost.If you have pretty sensitive skin to chemicals, fragrances, shaving or whatever and typically get the wonderful burn after applying deodorant or glamorous red inflamed skin, this is worth a shot! For YEARS I have tried to find products that at least minimized my irritation, since I could never find anything that truly made me have none, and I'm actually kind of ecstatic to have tried this and that it works for me! So I hope this review helps others who may be like me :)The ingredients in this are awesome! Colloidal silver does amazing at fighting various germs or skin infections so even that alone was a big seller for me since when we shave we get little tiny nicks and such and germs getting in that is probably one reason why we get razor burn, my own theory anyways. So that combined with the other wonderful ingredients just seemed like a recipe for at least some sort of success/improvement lolLastly, it is not really messy or anything. Since it's fall now, mine came in solid form. I could tell a little separation had happened at some point but barely and i just mixed it up. It melts very easy on your skin! You don't need a lot, so it really shouldn't be messy. I just put a little on my fingertip.

I've been using natural / aluminum-free deodorant for about a year now. A friend recommended I try this one, and I was thinking I needed to try something else, so I just bought it without really knowing anything about it.So the get-to-the-point-quickly thing I want to say is - this stuff is AWESOME, and it works, and you should totally get it if you are looking for a natural deodorant. After 3 days, I'm totally hooked, and will buy it again. (But not for a really long time, because you only really need to use a little bit and it seems like it might last forever.)Here are a few things you should know - this comes in a little tub, not a roll-on type of stick that you might be used to with deodorant that you buy in the store. So although the picture makes that totally obvious, that threw me off because I wasn't paying attention when I bought it. I didn't think I'd like getting deodorant on my hands, but it turns out that it doesn't bother me, because, whatever is in this makes it apply and feel more like a lotion when it goes on. It's nice and your body will just absorb it, and it doesn't feel gross at ALL. It has coconut oil in it, which I love because it's not greasy.The smell is nice - like lavender, and it's not overpowering at all. And speaking of smell, this stuff seriously works. With my other deodorant, I feel like I needed to reapply it mid-day, especially if I was out and about (and hello - with 3 kids, I'm ALWAYS out and about, and who remembers to carry around spare deodorant? I don't. Ever). Anyway, so the first day I was using this, I was working at a kids summer camp helping to make and bake 120 challahs. And somehow I was not smelly at the end of the day. Tired and covered in flour, yes, but at least I smelled nice! :-) Yesterday, I had three parties with my kids and we were out and about from 9am-10:30pm, and this stuff lasted ALLLLLLL day. How does it work? I have no idea, but I l-o-v-e it.Oh, and the last thing to know is that this is a deodorant, not an antiperspirant. So it's not made to block or stop sweat (plus, it's healthy for your body to sweat). I'm not particularly sweaty, so it's not a big thing for me, but if you are, consider that if you've never used natural deodorant. Although, on the container it says that the activated charcoal can absorb 1000x it's weight so it seems like it *could* help prevent wetness.My overall thoughts on this is that it's pretty wonderful! Love, love, love!

I've been using this natural deodorant for almost 3 years. I was using Piper Wai after my dad heard about it on Shark Tank. I wasn't overly thrilled with that product and decided to search around for an alternative natural deodorant and ran across Kaiame Naturals. I love this stuff. It goes on way smoother than most natural deodorants, and it has the perfect balance of ingredients so you don't feel gritty like you've just dumped a box of baking soda under your arms, or greasy as if you rolled in coconut oil. It doesn't always keep you dry (it's a deodorant, not an antiperspirant) but it does keep you from smelling (most of the time). If you work out and sweat a lot (which I do) you will notice that it drips down your arms with your sweat. You may smell a bit afterward, and that's ok. Just wipe it off and reapply and you're set to go. It does a great job of eliminating odors and it doesn't stain your clothes. I highly recommend this product... So much so that I gave them away as gifts for Christmas last year. - Keep in mind that if you're using a regular store bought aluminum antiperspirant right now, that you may have a detox period when you switch to a natural product, and adjusting to sometimes wet underarms can be a little uncomfortable. Try to stick it out for a few months and see if it gets better. If not, you can always switch back.
