Patchouli Scented Cream Deodorant for Women & Men | Aluminum Free Deodorant Women & Men | Vegan & Long Lasting Odor Control | Chemicals, Parabens, BPA & Cruelty Free | 1.76 oz

My review will be a little bit "TMI", so skip this if you are a delicate type of person. :) This is a great product and it has miracle powers of knocking out underarm odor. I have very sensitive skin and I recently had to change all my personal grooming products to things that do not contain any of that horrible perservative that starts with an "M" (excuse me for failing to recall the name!) as well as no toxic things like SLS. Directly attributable to my skin allergies and overall dry skin, I sometimes don't want to bathe for a few days at a time. So I was able to experiment with this product and I was amazed at what it was capable of doing! I bathed and then put a dime-sized dollop on each armpit. I noticed that I had no odor for about 3 days, even though I do have to do a fair amount of work around the house and was experiencing damp armpits at times. On the third day, I noticed a slightly skunky odor starting, so I decided to apply more of the product. It knocked out the odor within about a half hour, and then it kept me odor free for another 3 days. I believe that I could have kept doing that, if I did not have opportunity or desire to bathe. It cracks me up that this product can remove odor as well as prevent it. I believe that all airlines should stock this product and pass it out to the offensive passengers. ;) UPDATE: After using this product for about 3 weeks, I noticed one day that I developed a sort of "rash" under each arm. I was so worried that it was a reaction to the product itself, but that didn't make sense because I had used it for a few weeks without any irritation at all. I realized that I had been sweating and had not been wise to dry off, and due to some hard physical work I was doing... I probably just got a thing I can only compare to diaper rash. It's like your skin is slightly puffy and red, and you just need to clean and stay dry, let it rest. That is exactly what I experienced, and I attribute that to a particularly stressful day of hard physical work without taking the wise action to dry off. I used the old "stick deodorant" for a day to let the skin recover. Then I happily went back to using this product and have not had a repeat incident of the weird rash, which was totally just a heat rash or wetness irritation. This product is deodorant but not antiperspirant. If you are doing something that makes you sweat, you can just pat your pits with some toilet paper when you are in the loo. But it's not a big deal normally for me, as I only get the tiniest bit wet feeling when working normally at my household tasks and when exercising outdoors.

I started using this deodorant and at first, I really liked it. However, over time I noticed some issues: after shaving (even waiting up to 15 hours before applying it), it caused itching. That irritation eventually went away, but then I noticed my underarms started to darken. In terms of odor and sweat control, it works well, but I wouldn’t buy it again because it also stains clothes. It leaves yellow marks on light fabrics, and on colored clothing it seems to alter the shade. I even had to do special treatments to remove the stains.

Okay. I have been on a long journey to finding the right all natural/alumim free deoderant. Prior to this one, I used Lavalin which worked well but did not last very long. Once I was done with that, I switched to this after finding it on Blissful Miss ( a good site that lists all natural/ organic products and ranks them using user reviews and the EWG ratings). Reading through the user reviews myself made me say yes to this product despite its high cost. So, here are my thoughts: Pros: Not greasy, great clean smell. No irritation or thick buildup. Lasts all day and, dare I say it, noticeable decrease in perspiration. Cons: This product costs way too much for the quantity. Pictures are very deceiving. (Take a look at my picture to see how the size compares). This bottle is TINY. Also, I did not receive a stirring stick. Instead I used a plastic knife to sit the product and apply. Overall, I rates it 4 stars due to the cost and quantity. I have gone through so many different products in my journey towards all natural and finally with this one I don't have to worry about how I smell or skin irritation. I wish it didn't cost so much but I'll stick with it.

I developed a brownish-pink 'rash'/stain on the lower half of my armpit after 5 days of use. It started as just a thin pink 'smile' on the right side but now it is on both sides and the smile is brownish-pink and 2" wide! It does not itch or sting yet. I am trying to return it. Amazon says it is not returnable, but the listing says NOTHING about being nonreturnable. Next note will be to Amazon. It DOES, in fact, WORK for me to control odor. Both jar and lid are plastic. Comes with thick stir stick in jar. Has stayed stirred together for 5 days although I do a little stirring before each use to be certain the baking soda and corn starch are incorporated. Messy to use. I am 74 years old and wanted something to use while I go through 5 months of triple-negative breast cancer chemo starting 10-19-2017...and maybe even after all treatments. Price: $9.99 ($6.24 / ounce) FREE One-Day Pickup. Details In Stock. Sold by PURELYGREAT and Fulfilled by Amazon. Gift-wrap available. UPDATE: I talked to Amazon today and they have refunded my cost and I do not have to return the product. I am sure it is for sanitary reasons.

I waited to submit a review because I wanted to give this a fair shot. At first I wasn't sure if I liked this but after using it for a while I have to say that I will continue to purchase this product. The things I didn't like at first are: 1. you have to give this a stir everyday before using because the ingredients tend to separate a bit. It comes with a stir stick which fits nicely inside the jar so I just keep it in there. 2. The texture feels wet & goopy (although it is smooth), not nice and dry like antiperspirant sticks. That's it, but I got used to it and those things no longer bother me at all. This stuff works so well, better than anything I've ever used before whether natural or not. It doesn't stop you from sweating because it's a deodorant not antiperspirant but I found that over time my body adjusted and I tend to sweat less than before (probably because the sweat glands aren't being blocked anymore so don't need to overproduce). I used to sometimes reapply previous deodorants to freshen up but this stuff keeps me so fresh with one application, there is zero sweat smell even when I wake up the next day. Amazing product and reasonable price as you need to use very little.

I've tried several natural deodorants. This one offers the best performance, by far. The scent (Spices) doesn't carry through clothing, however I haven't smelled any body odor since I've started using it, even after two days without showering (applying once per day). That said, I can't give this a 5 star review. Of the natural deodorants I've tried, it's the most time consuming and annoying to apply. The product separates very quickly, and so each day I have to stir together the oils into a solid paste for at least a minute, before using. The provided stirrer is short and ineffective. If I wouldn't have to do this, I would easily rate it higher. Further, the price is expensive for the amount received, compared with other natural deodorants. Having said that, I will likely repurchase, since its performance is unmatched.

I was hoping this product would be a good replacement for one I used to use. However, it requires to be stirred with a teeny little spatula that is inside the container which I wouldn't mind except the product settles like cement in the bottom so more work then I want. It seemed to work well, however I had a major allergic reaction to it and for the last week have had burning rashes under both my arm pits. Disappointed.

Works great! Postpartum definitely puts deodorant to the test. I was recommended this natural deodorant by and friend and it performs! Having to stir before each use is a bit annoying but worth it for a natural, Canadian made deodorant that works!

This is probably the 15th+ Purely Great deodorant I’ve purchased! I love the charcoal as well as the unscented versions as I don’t love smells. I first found PG at Winners several years and keep restocking through Amazon. I highly recommend this product to anyone wanting a natural deodorant that works!
