Totally Amazing Natural Deodorant - GIVEAWAY INCLUDED!

(Scroll to the bottom to enter to win!)

 Purelygreat is a Canadian company that provides all natural handcrafted products. I was able to review their deodorant -- an unscented variety and the lavender cream scent.

There are only three ingredients used in this deodorant, and then the added essential oils for the ones that are not unscented.

One of the things that will probably be the most unusual for you is the application. It is not in a normal deodorant stick -- you have to use your fingers to apply. That is fine by me!

I have not used anti-perspirant for years, because of the toxic ingredients that can cause increased risk of breast cancer and Alzheimer's disease (the aluminum!!)

So I have been using either the mineral spray (without alunimum) or the Pit Stick from my friend who makes it. I also have done just plain neuralizer gel with essential oils (also using my fingers to apply), and even using a squeezed lime (which works surprisingly well!)

What I have found is that Purelygreat deodorant WORKS....  Here is my experience:

1. I put it on before using far infrared wraps that make you sweat like crazy. I did sweat a lot, but DID NOT SMELL!!

2. It has baking soda as an ingredient, but even after shaving, I have no irritation at all.

3. I smell my armpits in the morning (truly!) and found that I can put this on every other day! (Sometimes I shower every other day, but sometimes I do shower twice a day, like yesterday when I showered in the morning, and then showered after I did the far infrared wraps).

4. It actually smells GREAT! I have used the lavender scent and will have my husband try the unscented kind, and if that works, I will get him the men's version.

5. You only use a tiny bit! It spreads easily.

6. You want to stir it with a tiny spoon or stick (toothpick or skewer?) first, as it is all natural and sometimes the ingredients tend to separate without any toxic binding agents.

7. You still will sweat, you just won't smell

8. It doesn't stain your underams in your shirts!

Best Natural Deodorants - Non Toxic Ways To Smell Fresh!

Thai crystal deodorant

I have tried quite a few natural deodorants. Some of them work quite well but are time consuming (and I am lazy), others don't work as well. I found one that seems to work the best for me, and it is all natural and super easy to do!

Here is a list of natural deodorants and how well they worked for me:

1. Thai Mineral Stone. This works ok, especially in cold winter months when you don't sweat a lot. It lasts a LONG time, I could see one stick lasting 18 months or longer.

Sunshea Products Pit Stick

2. Pit Stick Natural Deodorant by Sunshea Products. This works well in keeping odor out but you still sweat with it, making it hard to use where I live in Panama when it is 85-90 degrees every day. It smells FANTASTIC and I do recommend this product to those who want to try it. It is one of the least expensive natural deodorants I have found, and lasts a long time (not as long as the Thai crystal deodorant stick though!)





3. Slice of Lime. Seriously. This stuff rocks your socks off. We have a lime tree in our backyard and during its season I just cut up a lime and used it in my armpits. I did not have any issues using it right after I shaved, however, a friend of mine said it did irritate her skin. You don't sweat as much with this one, but right now it is inconvenient since I don't have any limes, and I always forgot because then I would have to go to the kitchen, open the fridge, etc right after my shower and it didn't work with my scheduling (see, I am lazy!). And, It does end up being expensive if you have to purchase your own limes. One lime per week ends up being about $3-4 per month.

primal pit paste

 4. Primal Pit Paste. This stuff is a clay-based deodorant that seems to work well, many people give it good reviews. I have had friends make a homemade version with baking soda and bentonite clay, but it caused red irritation in their armpits. I have not tried the homemade version, but the Pit Paste works well!

I have not heard of anyone who said the Primal Pit Paste did not work for them. So this is a safe bet if you want a good non-toxic deodorant.

neutralizer gel and deodorizing essential oil blend

5. Neutralizer gel and deodorizing synergy blend essential oil. This is my new favorite as it smells SO good and causes absolutely no irritation. I purchased the essential oil thinking I would try making a DIY clay-based deodorant recipe. But when I got it, I smelled it and wanted to try it right away. So I just took a small pea sized amount of the neutralizer gel that I have, added 2 drops of the essential oil, and rubbed it together in my hand, and then used it on my armpits. Heavenly! And I still smell good the next morning.

You can use that essential oil blend with a DIY deodorant recipe of your choice. I am so happy that there is no irritation whatsoever. And I am happy that I had neutralizer gel on hand. It is great for so many things, from sunburn relief, to skin care, etc.

Whatever natural deodorant works best for you, know that you are doing your body a great service by not using traditional toxin-filled anti-perspirants. And, if you want to get rid of the toxins in your body you can do that by using my detox foot pads -- a great way to detoxify and pull the chemicals from your body that can wreak havoc on your health.
