For the past several years, I have made a very concentrated effort to be a conscious consumer in terms of my environmental footprint. Wherever possible, I am eliminating plastics. I also have extremely sensitive underarms and cannot use any products with baking soda or aluminum. And I am a woman who sweats, has hot flashes, and lives in Florida-I need an effective deodorant.
Previously, I was using the Raw Sugar brand that also came in a paper push-up tube, but they changed their packaging which now contains plastic and I bought this as an alternative. I like it enough that I have re-ordered. However, I didn’t give it five stars because it does stain my clothes. I’ve tried putting on the deodorant and then waiting 20 minutes or more to put on my clothes, but yet I still wind up with some white residue. It’s similar to a sunscreen in some ways, there is a thick white cast that needs to be absorbed. On the good side though, it seems to launder out easily, and also seems effective about controlling odor. The texture varies from tube to tube, some of my tubes are quite gritty, the same thing happens with my natural sunscreen so I think it’s a matter of environmental conditions during shipping.

I love that this deodorant is made from clean ingredients. The zero waste packaging is very thoughtful. I got the eucalyptus one and it smells AMAZING. However, I cannot get passed it’s texture. It’s like rubbing sandpaper on your skin. It’s horrible. I’m only determined to finish it because it wasn’t cheap, otherwise, I would just toss it. I wanted to love it but unfortunately I’m not coming back for it.

Good alternative
Gave EcoRoots a shot, after using Hey Humans for several years. HH no longer makes the scent I like, but ER does. In fact they have a couple of scents I love.
I do feel I have to put ER on twice most days, where the other brand I never had to apply multiple times. However, ER’s fabulous scents outweighs that.

No breaking out
I’ve been searching for a deodorant that I’m not allergic to, and this is the first one that works and I don’t get a stinging rash!!
