This Natural Deoderant Really Works

by Starre Vartan · 03/10/07

It’s not going to keep you from sweating (which I think is kinda creepy- how DO antiperspirants keep your armpits from doing what they naturally do? I think they’re suspect) but this Kiss My Face liquid rock deoderant really, really works. For two whole days it works for me, even when I’m stressing out. No nervous sweat smell, no post-workout smell, no smell after a night of partying and I’ve stayed on my friend’s couch and then not taken a shower (don’t ask what happened there).

I’ve tried every damn natural deoderant on the market, after developing a weird hyper-sweating problem when I used to use Secret in college. I ended up applying it 3-4 times a day and it still wasn’t working. I would soak shirts in five minutes! As soon as I stopped using that stuff the crazy sweating stopped. But many natural deoderants weren’t up to snuff, or sniff. Except this one. Their webite gives the details and ingredients if you want to check it out.

    Can you give us an update in a week or so? I’ve tried quite a few natural deoderants and they’ve all been great–for about a week. After that the effectiveness wears off or something and I’m back to square one.

    Tom’s of Maine has great deodorants too. I’ve been using theirs for years. Plus you can recycle the container!

    i must spread the word about the most wonderful deoderant out there. I too have tried every natural one under the sun but I now use just plain old baking soda. I put a little dab of lotion (any kind in the palm of my hand and sprinkle baking soda on it and rub it in to make a paste. Put under arms and I am telling you no odor at all for at least 2 days. All of my friends are doing it and are amazed And so cheap too. Try it!!

    Funny you write on this subject now : I’ve been looking for so long for an effective natural deodorant and I found this website on a toronto journal (don’t remember the name, sorry). There was a home test on a few deodorants, and the winner was Avalon organics (no parabens, no glycop propylene). I bought one and surprise!!
    It’s been two weeks and it’s effective, even when it’s hot like hell in the subway train. So if you can’t find Kiss my face deo, you can turn to Avalon.
