Salt of the Earth - Refillable Natural Deodorant Stick - Unscented - Aluminiu...

I had other scents from SOTH but they didn’t agree with me - evidently, my body’s PH and pheromones (and whatever else) disagree with some scents, for example anything with citrus , jasmine , or sandalwood smells absolutely foul on me. I used to love aloe vera stick from wild, but now they got sold to unilever I’m out. Needed a replacement. I also used akt for last few months , it’s great, but it is expensive and I find packaging diabolical . I have been using natural deodorants for a very long time ( I’m thinking at least since 2018-2019) and they’ve come a long way since. They are all pretty much the same now in principle, there’s no miracles there , they will not stop you sweat, that’s what antiperspirants are for , but it’s either trading for sweating a little and being healthier, or risking your health using dangerous ingredients in antiperspirants. I know what I prefer; this stick smell is fresh and lovely and I can already tell it will ‘agree’ with my skin really well. It’s also CF and plastic free and this is very important to me. I don’t bother with the plastic ‘ sleeve’ For it as it works great in the paper tube . Very happy indeed. So a next day update: I used the stick after shower this morning, it’s 13:15 and I feel like the lovely fresh scent is completely gone and I maybe over the top checking my armpits for smells extremely close (call it paranoid but I’m a human bloodhound) and I don’t like the aroma I’m smelling. It’s faint , sure but … in my opinion this deodorant failed at deodorising. Another one bites the dust I guess …. I shall keep searching. :(

I really love this deodorant, I have been looking for a natural deodorant for a long time, however, I’ve been unable to find one that didn’t dry out my armpits. That may sound really strange, however, I have eczema and find with whatever ingredients are put in natural deodorants. They would make my armpits go sore and dry. This deodorant does not do that, I find it very moisturising. If I wear this on a normal day, I do not have perspiration onto my armpits smell, nice and fresh. If it’s a hot day, I do perspire, however, I do not have any smell apart from the smell of the deodorant. It makes me feel very fresh and clean when I wear this deodorant. The cost financially is a lot more expensive to buy natural, however, for me, I really feel that it is worth it as there are all sorts of nasty ingredients in normal deodorants. For me, the extra cost is absolutely worth it and I will continue to buy salt of the Earth deodorants.

I've tried a bunch of natural deodorants and this range is the best I have found. They keep me smelling nice throughout the day and don't contain harmful chemicals. That's all I can really ask for. The price is about 4x that or a regular anti-perspirant which is unfortunate but I suspect if I used as directed and didn't apply too much that these would last a bit longer than they do (around a month for me). Definitely pair them with the re-usable plastic stick as it makes applying them much easier and they keep their shape for longer. If you use straight from the cardboard, they deteriorate and fall apart. They can leave white marks on your clothes but they wash out very easily unlike others synthetic products which can stain and turn clothes stiff.

I greatly enjoy the scent from the deodorant and the perception that it is all natural helps me feel good about it. But the quantity in the tube is very small and it always runs out after a couple of weeks. The price is also very high and that stops me from buying more. Getting the bottom part of the material is always a pain. It crumbles, and if you use the lid, a lot of it goes to waste as it falls off to the floor. Paper is an environmental way to package goods, but in the bathroom with steam and wetness, it makes it very difficult to handle. The product is good but only if you ignore the price.

I’m all about natural vegan and environmentally friendly deodorant. But it has to work. And smell nice. This is all of the above. I esp love the smell. Very happy. Pro tip- put it on at night while your body fluctuates naturally and just top it up in the morning.

Fantastic product

To me it smells like a candle and feels like one too it doesn't swipe easily onto the underarm so to get a good amount on it really hurt my skin and left me with bright red sore areas. It didn't work, I normally use dove stick and I can go over 24 hours without a bad scent coming but this deoderant didn't even last 4 hours and when the odour came i couldn't even tell apart from coming quite close so by the time I realised I needed to clean myself (still less than 24 hrs later mind) the scent of the deoderant and the odour was so strong and stuck to my now sore skin that I could barely wash it off. The vetiver scent I don't think works with my skin I dunno about skin in general but it created a new scent when mixed with my natural body odour that was so foul I have literally never smelt myself be so bad even when I went 2 weeks without changing my clothes, cleaning my underarms or using deoderant at all when I was clinically depressed and unmotivated. I have tried washing my underarms with different bar and liquid soaps 3 or 4 times in the past 24 hours and the horrid smell is still lingering and my armpits are super sore I can't shave or use any deoderant or a perfumed cream on them right now to try and hide the smell until my armpits are able to be cleaned without pain I had to wash them with just water and am now having to put coconut oil onto them to moisturise and neutralise the odour I think it could be an allergic reaction to the high perfume content though this has never happened before with any deoderant and I've tried lots, or maybe it's just because I had to use such force to get any deoderant onto my skin. The deoderant is also very crumbly when you do get any off the stick and drops everywhere it went all over my bedsheets and made a mess and the cardboard packaging doesn't seem to work super well as this makes a mess too when pushing the stick up and down and putting the lid on. A lot gets smeared on the outside of the tube. It's a strange scent but not bad seems to suit a candle moreso but it's strong like you'd want from a deoderant and I love the idea behind it but unfortunately I had a very bad experience. I hope this review will help with product improvements. I bought this because it had good reviews and was cruelty free I'm not bothered about it being vegan or all natural or organic or environmentally friendly personally (no problem with it doing those things too I'm just saying they don't sway me but I will only buy leaping bunny approved stuff) as I need to find a new deoderant that works but this did NOT fit the bill. I was thinking of trying a different scent at first but after the soreness it gave me its just put me off any more of these deoderant products.

Not impressed with this at all. It's too stiff and when you finally apply it, it's messy and stays sticky for hours and doesn't really do the job. Nice smell but not worth the palaver.
