Recommend your EF deodorant
I currently use an anti-perspirant and obviously want to stop ASAP b/c of the chemicals. I would smell and sweat for sure if I tried to only use a deodorant.
What EF deodorant works well for you? I think I've heard of a deodorant on etsy that you have to use for a month before it really starts working-- what is it called?
Thanks!
Re: Recommend your EF deodorant
*sweating in nervous anticipation of replies*
I feel like I'm NEVER going to find one that works. I honestly think I've just stopped noticing my stinkiness!
Tried everything from Crystal Rock (ew) to Burt's Bees for Men (ok) to Aubrey Organics stock spray (weird, hippy, christmas-tree-like B/O....)
For the PP, are these good for gym days? Do you notice any smell?
Lavanilla's The Healthy Deodorant
Cross my heart it works! I've tried most of the deos already mentioned here & this is the only one that works for stinky sweaty me!
I'm currently using GudonyaToo deodorant from Etsy (in lavender scent). It doesn't work as well as my old Secret, but I don't disgust myself by the end of the work day, so I'm not complaining.
My previous EF deodorant fails were Tom's of Maine (which was like not wearing any at all) and The Crystal (which worked, but not well).
Oh, one thing that worked previously was baking soda! I would mix it with a few drops of tea tree and lavender oils, and then use a make-up brush to brush it on. It worked wonderfully, but unfortunately I have really sensitive underarms and it started clogging my pores.
Katie Talks About...
I use this and it works really well, but I think it does have aluminum in it. The KMF active enzyme doesn't work as well as the liquid rock. I think I am going to try Soapwalla. The Gudonya doesn't seem to be very natual. I think that it might have some synthetic fragrances in it, no?
