Pete & Pedro Fresh Deodorant

After doing research on what causes low testosterone, I watched a few videos and read a few articles regarding the affects of deodorant, especially those that high levels of aluminum that affect testosterone levels. After the shock of reading these articles and watching these videos, I decided to change right away. One of the videos I saw was by the owner of the company, and it inspired me to give it a try. I didn't know that it takes weeks, some times months to detox from aluminum being in your system. The amazing and shocking thing is the difference you feel once you are completely detoxed from it. I felt more energetic, this deodorant helped me on so many levels, something I would have never thought about before. When you look at the natural ingredients, compared to the regular deodorant, it blew my mind. We really don't realize not only what we put in our bodies, but also on our bodies. This deodorant smells amazing, goes on smoothly, and will not give you a rash. There were times where I would get a rash in the summer time when using regular deodorants. I have yet to feel any irritation at all. It doesn't clump at all, goes on smoothly, and more importantly doesn't stain white shirts or dress shirts. Now, does it last all day? I would say for the average person it will definitely last all day. For me, it doesn't, and that is because I am an Executive Chef and am constantly moving, constantly in heat. Not only do I work many hours, on some days I go to the gym before going to work. I really don't see myself stopping what I am doing to reapply it. However, it is what it is. Now, this says it doesn't stain clothing, which is true this far from what I see, it will not leave an oily stain like others have. However, if you wear black, which I do, this is going to mark up your shirt. I recommend putting the shirt on first, then putting the deodorant on. It will also leave the armpit with white marks on it, but it washes off perfectly. I've read some reviews where they say it's expensive, I don't see that at all, you're investing in your health in more ways than one. I went back to test my testosterone levels and they were raised. So for the price, you're getting natural ingredients that are healthy. This thing works well, is safe, and if you're concerned about your testosterone levels, switch to an all natural deodorant and detox from the aluminum. Invest in your health! See it this way, I would rather pay for healthy products then for medication....

I've used many different deodorant sticks from Old Spice, to to Dr. Squatch, and I've always struggled to find that balance of a long lasting deodorant that smells great, lasts long enough, and doesn't leave behind gunk on my shirts or stains. Pete & Pedro's Deo literally does it all and has been amazing in this peak summer heat. I LOVE the smell and feel fresh during the day. The best part is that it doesn't feel like I have anything thick or gunky smeared over my pits, and that means I don't worry about staining my nicer shirts. Absolutely love this stick and will definitely be my go-to deodorant moving forward.

My skin has become sensitive to what deodorants it will tolerate over the past few years. It’s taken a long time, but I think Fresh is the one. It’s been a month, and everything has been going really well. My checklist has always been, smells good, lasts all day, goes on clear/clean, is free from ingredients that irritate my skin/avoids known “bad” ingredients, and helps control sweat at least a little bit. Most natural deodorants can check some of these boxes, but not all. This is the first natural deodorant I’ve tried that nails it across the board for me. $17 isn’t cheap, but then natural deodorants aren’t cheap in general. I think the price is fair when compared to the alternatives, and the results are superior. I have to hand it to Aaron and his team. UPDATE: Sweat protection isn’t up to snuff when spring rolls around. Wear tank tops at your own risk - this deodorant likes to run and leave milky looking streaks down your arms. In t shirts, it like to slightly discolor your pits, leaving a white residue visible even through the fabric on super sweaty days. I think for general day to day wear from September - March, this is a good option. Spring and summer, look elsewhere.

Love the smell and ingredients. Value for the price and no colors.

I am a supporter of the brand and owner of the brand and this is good in concept but poor in longevity. Pros: The case feels like quality plastic and not flimsy at all. The cap stays on nice and tight. The scent is very pleasant. Cons: The scent does not stay very long and the product needed to be reapplied multiple times through the day. Before the comments blow up, I primarily work in an AC environment, am not overweight and have no condition that makes me sweat abnormally. I tested it both in the working environment, gym and outdoors doing light and heavy work loads where I did sweat. I used an entire two sticks of this deodorant to make sure I allowed my body to adjust to using a new product and nothing changed. This deodorant did not hold up. I found myself using more than I normally would need and with this being a rather expensive single stick I don’t see the cost over benefit. I don’t believe it did much on the protection front either other than keeping harmful chemicals put on my body like aluminum, only because for the first time in a long time my undershirts had yellow stains begin to develop. Granted this is normal with sweating but if there is a level of protection I would hope it would at the very least keeps the scent going but it didn’t and staining became more pronounced with this deodorant. Overall: I can appreciate the fact that many of the harmful chemicals are removed from this deodorant but I expected more from this brand especially with how much I know the owner cares about it’s quality and execution. Hopefully this review can assist in seeing some of the short falls and it can be improved. In the mean time I have found another deodorant that has done the same thing in removing the harmful chemicals but it’s scent lasts all day long working hard or not.

This deodorant goes on OK and seems not to stain clothes (which is what I'm really looking for), but the smell is like Pinesol cleaner. It literally smells like Pinesol floor cleaner. I was trying to figure out where the disturbing smell was coming from, I thought I had cleaner on me, and then I realized it's the deodorant. I don't know what they're thinking, but I will not be buying this product again. Whew!!!! UGH!!!

I find no pleasure in writing this negative review. I am a fan of this company and I use their hair care products. This stuff smell amazing, BUT it does not work. After a day of sitting in the office and zero physical exertion, I had B.O. when changing out of my work clothes. I really wanted an aluminum free product that actually worked. I have yet to find one that does. I’m a slim guy who does not sweat without excessive physical exertion. I would accept 24 hours, even though my speed stick lasts around 48 on rare occasions, but less than 8 is unacceptable. Very disappointed. Try it for yourself, but you have been warned.

OK, so I have tried a lot of different men's deodorants over the years. Most have disappointed me......but this natural deodorant from Pete & Pedro is AWESOME. Why? Fist up - it works. It keeps you smelling fresh for over 10 hours. I haven't tested it past that - but I figure for most people 10 hours is good enough, right? Next - it's aluminum free. I mean, who wants aluminum clogging up their pores. Not me! Third, it's natural using safe ingredients. Need I say more? Overall - solid deo that gets the job done!
