Crystal Deodorant

I have been using this for years and it is a truly fantastic product. The trick I have found to get the best performance is to shower at night and apply this whilst your underarms are still wet. Also make sure to be really cleansing the underarms well to be removing bacteria buildup. If you want to be squeaky clean, you can use an antibacterial cleanser as a second cleanse after your regular shower gel. What I like is that there is no fragrance here to be mingling with moisture, that's always what I hated about conventional deodorants or even natural cream or roll on deos. It applies like nothing, feels like nothing on the skin (no stickiness or product buildup) and you will just smell like nothing. It will last you ages, I think my last one took 10 months to go through and it was the travel size - how impressive is that! Do you want to be buying a can of deo every few weeks (and chucking that packaging) or buy one that lasts months on end? Unbeatable value for money. Plus the plastic free option is just fantastic, you can pop it in a little dish in your bathroom and it will allow it to dry after use. The travel size in plastic packaging really is great too.

I have been using this product for well over 5 years now and it is amazing, especially during this 4th set of UK heatwaves! It’s a roll-on… you need to run it under water to get it working, but it’s amazing. It doesn’t have a fragrance, it doesn’t leave white marks or sweat marks on clothes, it lasts for hours until you have your next shower, and it gives you absolutely very dry underarms completely even on a 30plus degree day … I also put it under my bosom and it prevents chaffing and sweating there. It’s a 100% natural product so good for the body. Depending on how much you use the “block”, you can get a long time out of one product so excellent value for money too. Also Amazon sells it at the cheapest price.

Trying to go plastic free and this seems like a good product to have. It's takes away smells but does not stop you from sweating. I'm happy I only have 4 stars as one of my bars was broken into a few pieces unfortunately.

I actually came across this by accident. I saw an advert on Instagram for a crystal deodorant in a fancy dispenser, but it was pretty expensive. It instantly reminded me of something that happened nearly 30 years ago when I was travelling around the world. I met a guy in Thailand who showed me a natural crystal deodorant, and all you did was wet the crystal and rub it under your arms. He told me it would revolutionise deodorants one day. I’d completely forgotten about it until I saw that advert. Instead of buying the expensive one, I searched Amazon to see if I could find the same thing cheaper and ended up buying this. I’m so glad I did because it’s absolutely brilliant. It works incredibly well, lasts all day and there’s no perfume or sticky residue. Just wet it, apply it and that’s it. I’ve also tried brands like Fussy, but that gave me an allergic reaction under my arms. With this, I’ve had no irritation at all. The only thing I regret is not listening to that guy in Thailand all those years ago. If I’d bought one back then, I could have avoided 30 years of aerosol deodorants and all the unnecessary chemicals that go with them. One crystal lasts for ages as well, so it’s fantastic value for money. I honestly can’t recommend it highly enough.

Welcome to the band, brother. Or sister. Or cave bear with a finely tuned sense of personal hygiene. (We’re an inclusive bunch here.) We’ve been expecting you. Tonight, we shall toast your arrival with dew reverentially gathered from the moss atop Mount Freshness, where our ancestors first uncovered the arcane secrets of body odour control—right between the invention of the wheel and the discovery that sitting on a rock isn’t terribly comfortable. But let’s get down to the mystical object that unites us all. I know, I know… I was sceptical at first, too. It’s only natural to feel hesitant about entrusting such a vital element of our self-confidence and social esteem to something that looks like it’s been fished out of a glass of cola. Society doesn’t help either. We’re so used to sprays infused with alpha-male ions and gels enriched with unicorn drool that, when someone offers us a less flashy alternative, we pull the same grimace of horror and disgust we’d give that squirrel darting out of the park bin right as we’re about to chuck our rubbish in. But when something truly works, it works—and it’s only right to spread the word among our nearest and dearest. Because you wouldn’t want anyone getting anywhere near you without first acquiring this sacred knowledge, would you? But besides being effective, this product is downright beautiful—a quality largely derived from its simplicity. First, the simplicity of its composition, which boils down to a single ingredient: potassium alum. That’s it. Nothing dodgy here. You may have read some alarming article warning that when you rub alum stone on your skin, the aluminium seeps through your dermis, floods your body, causes cancer, Alzheimer’s, and even mugs your little red blood cells out of their pocket money, all while whistling a jaunty tune. Frankly, I’ve always found it curious how we obsess over such worries, while barely anyone questions—let alone acts accordingly—whether it’s actually safe to step outside in any city and breathe in the fumes from car exhausts, or to spend years sleeping far fewer hours each night than our bodies really need. But I digress… We were talking about simplicity—an attribute that also extends to the way this magical compound presents itself: a delicate crystal cylinder perched on a matching pedestal, like an icicle that’s just had the full manicure, pedicure, and possibly a facial. The same goes for how it’s used: two or three swipes under each armpit, and you’re done. If you ask me, that’s the best part of it all. There’s something deliciously primal and wild about that moment when, fresh out of the shower, you rub a chunk of rock under your arms, then stand there, upright in the middle of the bathroom, surrounded by steamy vapours, hands on hips, gaze pinned on some invisible point in the distance—as if trying to lock eyes with Fate itself and cry, “Come on then, send me the biggest mammoth you’ve got.” Sublime palaeolithic sensations aside, this little shard of pure freshness isn’t just a deodorant; it’s a multipurpose marvel. Need an after-shave that doesn’t smell like a chemical factory? Check. A remedy for acne? Done. A defence against fungi? Consider it handled. For the wanderers among us, its compact, non-liquid form makes it the ultimate travel companion, whether you're backpacking across Europe or just nipping to the gym—just toss it in your bag and set off on your next adventure with no fear of leakage or airport security tantrums. It’s practically a nomadic hygiene talisman. Plus, this thing is more durable than your New Year’s resolutions—just remember to dry it after each use. A dry crystal is a happy crystal, and in return, it’ll reward you by lasting a year or more. In short, it doesn’t hiss, it doesn’t leave white marks, it doesn’t try to fool you with imposter fragrances. It just sits there—stoic and gleaming—with the quiet dignity of an object that has nothing left to prove. So, welcome to the fold, my fellow crystal-bearer. You are now the custodian of ancient wisdom of purity. This little thing is your ticket to hygienic nirvana. Your armpits, your bathroom shelf—and perhaps even your destiny—shall be forever changed.

sometimes it doesnt cover smell effectively

Fab deodorant that keeps going on forever. No fragrance which is ideal not to overpower anything else and it doesn’t leave any residue. Been using this for ages now, I wouldn’t use anything else. I just dry it after using it to help maintain its longevity.

Wow! So I’m a sporty type of bloke who doesn’t sweat loads but, like most of us I get stinky pits if I wasn’t to shower or change my t shirt every day! I bought this because I just wanted natural and not to throw loads of spray into the environment. I also dislike the smell of many deodorants which are a bit overpowering and restrict actual sweating which obviously isn’t healthy. I read a few reviews and noted the “ do on a wet arm pit for 20 seconds or so” tip . The wet arm pit thing is a must. I get out the shower and use it ( for about ten seconds on each arm pit). It’s like rubbing a smooth pebble on your skin as it’s not all soft like traditional roll ons or wet, like the ball type ones. I did find that I ended up shaving my arm pits a bit with my beard trimmer (not very manly maybe but I actually quite like it now!) it made putting it on much easier and more pleasant. The results! Well I have to say it’s a great product. Samantha my partner had a few days of having to begrudgingly smell my armpits with the statement “ smell me Sam!, what do you think ?” This scientific test resulted in a positive result every time with no odour at all. Result ! I was so impressed I thought I’d do a test ( without sam’s knowledge ). I wore a black t shirt for a day and, being odour free I wore the same t shirt again ( plain black so Sam did t notice my rather minging test ).. on the morning of day four I detected a very sleight odour on my t shirt and decided not to push my relationship into this fourth experimental day. But it lasted three full days with no whiff whatsoever. I still sweat as normal ( not very sweaty ) which is healthy but no smell whatsoever even after running , gym , cycling etc. There is also zero white marks which I always get ( those horizontal lines on a t shirt after using spray deodorant ) no staining on black t shirts. Ok so I now live alone with the cat after Sam ran off with the postman saying she didn’t want to be part of this ground breaking science experimentation, but, I don’t smell. Two months on and the stick has hardly gone down at all. I use once a day after my morning shower and it seems not to get any smaller! I dry it after each application on the towel I use which sounds grubby but the towel has been all over my clean sparkling body anyway and the stick is hard like a rock and isn’t like a roll on. The only negative is the plastic container but! It’s still a reduction on impact to environment as it last so long and will have at least halved the amount of plastic used on my pits in a year. You can get it without the plastic and maybe my conscious will get the better of me, Probably around the time Amazon stop sending small items in boxes big enough to put my house in :-). Conclusion. Get this product if you want to have happy odour free pits and be kind to your skin and the environment. I won’t be going back to cloggy arm pit hair and white marks again :-)

Can't even use it, it's very Strong like a rock, never seen a rollon like this! And to think I have to use it for my kids it's a no no. No sents at all just a rock not good that is not a rollon, am not supposed to give it a star, but is like I must give a star if I must rate it

Me ha sorprendido su eficacia. Me llegó el 26 de mayo, ese mismo día ya lo probé y me ha dado buenos resultados. Aguanta bastante trote; yo me suelo duchar por la mañana después de entrenar y me está aguantando hasta el día siguiente pero ya el entreno no lo aguanta, lo cual es mucho más de lo que esperaba. Respecto a la duración si soy un poco escéptico, no creo que con una pasada o tres como dicen ellos sea suficiente (supongo que también depende de las circunstancias). En mi caso hago 5-6 pasadas circulares y con esta premisa, funciona a la perfección. Cuando se me acabe el producto editaré el comentario para dejarlo reflejado.

For those looking for deodorant without aluminum this is not the right option. It still contains potassium alum which is just another type of aluminum. Besides, for few times I used it I didn't notice any change in my smell and the crystal smells like my armpit. Too much hussle with cleaning this thing.

ottimo prodotto,non cu credevo ma funziona benissimo!!
