Fat and The Moon - All Natural/Organic Deodorant Cream (2 oz)

I’m an athlete and so I tend to have more BO than most people more frequently. My teammates all have the same issue and one of my teammates recommended this. I was VERY skeptical of this hippy crap but OH MY GOD, I put it on once in the morning and I stay fresh ALL DAY. Even after a long bike ride I don’t smell (like BO). This is basically my entire cycling team’s official deodorant now. I don’t understand how, but it works.

This deodorant changed my life. I was getting small cysts under the skin of my armpits every few months while using anti-perspirant, not to mention that every shirt I ever owned eventually had to be thrown away due to caked-in deodorant stains. I tried many brands of non-antiperspirant deodorant, but all of them failed me. I was a teacher at the time, and would sweat a lot at work, and by the end of the day the natural deodorants would leave me smelly.This was the first natural deodorant I've ever tried that keeps me smelling good all day. It doesn't keep you from sweating, and it's not supposed to, but that's okay with me. Also, my shirts come cleaner in the wash and can usually be worn for a few days before needing to be washed.I do feel obligated to say that when I first started using it, a few times my pits became a bit irritated for a day or two, but after about two years of use I no longer have this problem. I have also noticed a slight bit of skin darkening, but I don't know if that's due to the deodorant or not, and it's not enough to bother me; I just exfoliate my armpits now while showering and that seems to help.

Hands down the best natural deodorant I have tried. And I have tried ALOT the brands out there. This product not only immediately starting working (versus giving my body the recommended 2 weeks to adjust to a natural deodorant) but has continued to work not only for everyday, but through exercise as well. The scent is very subtle which I enjoy and smooth application - it never caused any rash/skin irritation. While application can get quite messy just using your fingers I certainly don’t mind the small inconvenience of having to wash my hands after for an environmental and vegan friendly product that actually works. Already on my second jar!

The product certainly works to block odor. You won't be smelly if you use it. However, the product is also not a great option for sensitive skin. I, admitedly have very sensitive armpits and the product has given me a few small underarm cysts, it's caused some irritation, tenderness, drying and flakeing of the skin. I've used similar products in the past that have not been nearly as irritating. I just thought I'd try something new. I belive this brand does have an option for sensitive skin, but I have not tried that version.

I live in Bangkok and bought this while visiting the states. I have used if for almost a year now and I'm hooked! It works in one of the hottest cities I've ever lived in. It works when I go on trail runs on a humid morning. I also have the sensitive pit cream by the same company and that works as well. I ordered that on accident but it came in a smaller tin which has be helpful to travel with in my purse. It's small but they last longer than I thought they would. Will be buying again and again for the next few years. Hoping I can find a better portal to buy them through though because they come wrapped in plastic bubble wrap. Hopefully, Earthhero.com will have them soon so I can get this in compostable packaging.

Background: Dude, military, hot/humid climate, works out regularly (mostly run)Overall, I'm seriously impressed. I wear it every day--lounging, hiking, running, under a uniform. The 2 oz container has lasted me almost 3 months, and there's a lot of thoughtful benefits to it as a cream with natural ingredients.Smells great, really nicely complements other black pepper/woodsy body washes (highly recommend Molton Brown and/or No. 63). Bergamot and pepper are the forward elements, with the clary sage more subtle. Not overpowering at all, and the actual scent only lasts for about 3-4h. It won't outdo body wash/soaps. Pretty close to neutral, so it would go with just about anything. It's also one of the few herbal scents you can find that doesn't include a heaping addition of peppermint/spearmint oil--which my wife is allergic to--the smell of which can get exhausting, or may cause unpleasant, persistent tingling.Applies smooth, even consistency. It's greasy in the hand, but it absorbs into your pits in just a couple seconds on application and then doesn't get slick when you start to sweat (problem with other fat/oil-based natural DOs I've tried). There's a little bit of grit from the baking soda, but it's not coarse or irritating, like sand. Plenty comfortable enough to run long distance with, and hasn't stained any of my clothing.Seriously long lasting stuff. I wore it for almost 3 days on a long weekend when I was bumming around without a shower. Scent went away after the first day or so, but it suppressed any body odor where applied. It's also not a bad option for the pool/beach, as the oil will repel water and none of the chemicals are toxic to fish/reef.My search for a new DO to go steady with is over.

A few weeks ago I went on the search for better smelling armpits. No matter how much I scrubbed I always had an underlying BO smell. It really messed with my confidence. In my search I found this. (And also apparently you are supposed to exfoliate armpits?)I have never used a deodorant cream before but I am currently on day 7. Already it’s made such a difference. I wear it all day and still smell like the deodorant or nothing at all. II’ve told everyone I know about it. My husband, dad, and coworker all are going to try it now. I did get a rash for about 2 days but it went away by itself
