Organic Island Deodorant Baking Soda Free with Probiotics for Sensitive Skin 3.1 oz Stick, Natural with Magnesium, Arrowroot, Kaolin Clay, Zinc Oxide, Aluminum-free, Unscented, Vegan (Single Stick)

I've been looking and looking for a plain deodorant (not antiperspirant) that doesn't make my underarms look discolored or red. Basically, my underarms are absurdly sensitive and eventually, pretty much everything makes them look red and psorios-y or weirdly brown and leathery. Or they just plain don't work and I end up stinky. (Which is genuinely no fun). Probably tmi, but important context bc I've been using this deodorant for about two weeks and I'm neither stinky NOR do I have angry underarms!!! It doesn't sweat off, it doesn't feel cakey or gross. If you rub it in, I personally haven't had any issues with it rubbing off on anything. (I pretty much live in scrubs and graphic tees, so take that as you will). And it doesn't have a strong smell either, so I can actually wear whatever perfume I want and it isn't clashing terribly! I'm so happy with this product, thank you so much for making a baking soda-free, aluminum-free deodorant. It works so well for me.

I like the natural ingredients. Very good odor neutralizer. It does get gummy and sticks to the top, but definitely workable.

This natural deoderant works really well at keeping you smelling fresh all day long. However, it does leave a heavy white residue that does transfer on to clothes. And this residue does not come out of clothing after washing! This is the only negative I have with the deoderant. It is suggested by the company to rub in with your fingertips to avoid transfer on to clohes, but it leaves a very hard to wash coating on your fingertips (the thick coating is probably why it masks odor very well I assume) and does not completly prevent the issue from occuring. It cannot be washed off with water, sweat, or even mild soap and detergent in clothing. However, most natural deoderants give me a very painful, red and raised rash due to the baking soda in them. This deoderant feels very comfortable and does not irritate the skin at all, so it is what I'll continue to use. Avoid with black camisoles or else you will see white marks even after washing.

I have tried more than 25 natural deodorants over the past four years. Not a single one worked like a regular deodorant. Some were better than others, but even with light activity I was re-applying multiple times a day to keep it sort-of working, or finding that even that didn't help. Rashes developed with the ones containing baking soda and nothing worked.This deodorant works! I can work outside in 87+ heat (I haven't been out in hotter temps yet) and stay smelling fresh. I apply it once in the morning and I am good to go for the day. If I reapply before bed and when I wake up, I will stay fresh without having to shower the next morning. I cannot recommend this more highly.Do note that it is white and will make marks on dark clothing, so black tank tops can be tricky. I find that applying it well before I get dressed for the day really helps with that.

I have to admit I was a bit skeptical. I have tried other "natural" deodorants and had the worse results such as stink, sweat, breakouts, and one just simply turned my armpits black! I have had those with irritations, those that profess essential oil and natural products, etc. My friend suggested maybe we were allergic to the baking soda because it clogged our pores (She was having the same issue and so was her husband) fast forward..... we both found this product. I have been using it for over a week now with no breakouts, no irritation, no stink! It is a bit of a pain to put on as it goes on like this WHITE sunblock in your armpit and then you have to blend it in and you get it all over your hands, but if that is all I have to worry about to have a natural product that really works then I am all about it!!!!

Gave it a few tries, and it wasn't a great experience. Very hard to spread (dry paste texture, clumpy), leaves oil-based white layer on the skin that transfers onto clothing, even if rubbed into skin as per instruction (which isn't a pleasant thing to do - it's hard to wash it off the fingers completely). Doesn't make armpits any less wet (not that it promises to), but nor does it really do much of the odor prevention. Generally has a heavy feeling on skin that doesn't leave armpits feeling dry and fresh, and creates build-up (hard to get it out completely with regular showers). And after I stopped using it and left stored away for a couple of months, it developed a strange bumpy surface on the top, like there was some strange organic reaction that took place (did the "vegan probiotics" overgrow?..). The one positive is: it really doesn't have any scent/fragrance to it.I eventually ended my quest for a good packaged natural deodorant, and am pretty happy with using just lime juice and peppermint oil on clean dry armpits.

the good: it seems to work and the ingredients are safe. i didnt experience any problems with staining.the bad: its very chalky and difficult to apply. normally, one can slid the stick across your armpit to apply-- this one pulls at your skin. if a person shaves their armpits, i would imagine that the sensation would be awful. lastly, its a deodorant and NOT an antiperspirant. i had used the toms of maine brand which didnt work very well. that one at least glided on when applied and i didnt feel sweaty. with this, i am perspiring a heck of a lot more and i hate the sensation. i do not recommend this brand.i will be buying the health ranger organic brand on his website.edit: i originally gave this 2 stars. this summer, with the warmer indoor temperatures, the deodorant was far easier to apply.
