SELF, All Day Freshness Deo
“Fragrance is a beautiful balance of herbal and floral scents; subtle and unique in its own right. It automatically makes me think of an aromatic warm day in the Mediterranean full of olives, rosemary and lemon! The texture of the deodorant is firm but silky, just perfectly appropriate for the product and its application. The branding on the packaging says “good skin, good mood, good day”, and applying this really did put a smile on my face. What a wonderful product. Easy application and left my arm pits feeling hydrated and fresh and well cared for. Honesty I love it”
“There was an uplifting fragrance which appeared to be like eucalyptus (although I could not find it on the ingredients list). I liked the smell, as it gave the sense of antibiotic properties, which would be good for a deodorant. It also came with a wooden spatula, so it was easy to scoop out enough product and apply it to the skin without wastage. It is a thick paste but very smooth and luxurious to apply and melted as soon as it was applied to the skin. I really liked the consistency. I liked how well it spread onto the skin and absorbed into the skin. It made my underarms feel silky and smooth after application. It also had a refreshing sensation. It also kept my underarms dry throughout the day. It was gentle to use under my arms after shaving and there was no stinging. It was great”

Eco By Sonya Driver, Lemongrass Natural Deodorant
“I have become quite attached to the deodorant. It is without a doubt de-odourising but is also doing a very good job as a barrier to sweating, especially if I do a second application part way through the day. This is one of those products that just gets on with the job. My skin is calm, itch free and it doesn’t even sting if used after hair removal. There was no product build up on my skin when using it and very little residue was left behind after it dried into my skin. The underarms didn’t suffer from clogged pores at all which would previously have led to spots and lumps under my arms. The formulation of this deodorant maintained a consistency that was easy to use and fuss free through a range of temperatures. A welcome find.”

Cacao Pow Deo Bar, Mint Choc
“The fragrance was strong and smelt exactly like a famous brand of after-dinner mints! Once I figured out that it worked better for me to rub the stick directly onto my skin, and then rub it in, it was quick and easy to apply. The deo bar worked perfectly from the first application, controlling perspiration and completely preventing the occurrence of any unpleasant body odour. I was impressed at its lasting power — one application in the morning kept me feeling fresh all day. This is hands-down the best natural deodorant I have tried — and I’ve tried a lot!”
SO Natural Cosmetics, Deodorant Liquid Gel
“Nice texture, not too sticky which many natural products are. Rolled on easily and cleanly. Felt comfortable and dry to touch in my armpits throughout the day. I continued to grow in confidence with the product throughout the month of testing: it was comfortable with no irritation or stickiness. I have now used it every day and been to a wedding, done gardening and taken it to the gym and it has not failed me once. I am able to play 90 mins of tennis with no worries of sweaty marks on my top or any discomfort. I have tried countless ‘natural’ deodorant products over the years and nothing has given me confidence. This product totally delivered. This is a total game changer in my life”
We Love the Planet, Forever Fresh Natural Deodorant Stick
“I love a natural deodorant in a cardboard tube. Smells lovely, like a gin and tonic in the garden on a hot summer’s day. The texture was just right, solid enough to hold its shape, but soft enough for easy application. This deodorant applied really easily, glides on smoothly and so feels like it is caring for the skin. I felt fresh all day using this product so it definitely does its job, keeping skin cared for. No irritation experienced at all. I really enjoyed it. Skin on underarms was kept soft and there was good odour control when using the product, so overall feeling of freshness achieved. The brand has done a really good job on this.”
