helloSweet Coconut Deodorant With Shea Butter for Women + Men, Aluminum Free, Baking Soda Free, Parabens Free, 24 Hour Odor Protection, 2.6 Ounce, 2 Pack

I often buy this brand of deodorant. It’s a good price and is effective. It doesn’t have aluminum which, of course is very bad for you and is implicated in many diseases, most notably Alzheimer’s.If you’re looking for an all natural deodorant, this one has a very light coconut scent. My teenage boys are happy to use it, and so do I (their mom). We also use other brands, but I come back to this one because of the great price. I keep the used containers to use when I make my own deodorant.BTW - I have sensitive skin and am allergic to most scents. This deodorant is fine for me.

I have yet to get a good sweat going while using this deodorant but so far, I like it. The lavender smells a bit stronger then the unicorn but they both smell good. It is a bit chalky but I will share how well it controls odor and sweat (not sure it's meant to stop/reduce sweating though)

I've tried aluminum-free deodorants before and was thoroughly dissatisfied with how poorly they held up. Hello deodorant doesn't perform quite as well as I'd hoped, but it's still a significant step up from other aluminum-free brands and the peach-scented sticks honestly smell incredible.In terms of longevity, Hello last about as long as you need it to if you're just going about you're day to day. You can make it through work, an evening out with friends, or whatever else, and chances are it'll still keep you smelling fresh by the time you're back home. However, it comes up quite short of the advertised 24-hours and, when applied first thing in the morning, I found myself having to wipe it off and re-apply a fresh coat after 8-10 hours or so because my body odor was becoming quite noticeable again. I'm not a very active person, so I was a bit disappointed at this and I really can't see it holding up well for workouts or any kind of active lifestyle.In terms of sweat reduction, it's another mixed bag. It works well enough, but I quickly found that less is more. With aluminum-based deodorants, I tend to apply several swipes, but doing the same with Hello causes a lot of excess buildups that seems to smear around very easily and leaves you feeling uncomfortably wet. One or two swipes under each arm seems to be the sweet spot.In terms of smell, I mentioned it at the start, but the peach scent is genuinely fantastic. I wish this deodorant DID have aluminum because it would honestly be the best of both worlds. The scent is distinct without being overpowering, it smells like sweet, fresh fruit all the way down to that little hint of tartness. When I re-apply it before bed, it's hard not to just lay there with my arms up because I just love the way it smells.Lastly, some other people have mentioned that Hello feels uncomfortable to apply, there's some truth to this, but I can say that the majority of reviews (especially those with photos) clearly received expired sticks. Hello deodorant is slightly more abrasive than typical deodorant, yes, but only slightly so. I think typical deodorants inherently stay more moist when not in use, while the surface layer of Hello brand will get a little drier. Once you start rolling it a bit though, it should behave like applying any other deodorant. If your stick is excessively dry, painful to apply, or falling apart, then it's very obviously not a fresh product and should not be treated as such.Overall, I'd highly recommend Hello peach-scented deodorant purely for the scent alone, but only if you're not doing any heavy activities and don't mind the possibility of having to re-apply it halfway through the day. I wish it performed a little better, but it's still miles better than any other aluminum-free options I've tried in the past.

UPDATE: It's been heating up outaide lately so I have had to apply more a couple times a day. (You know, like normal people do. I don't know of anyone who doesn't apply deodorant at least 2x a day when it's hot out and if you don't you're lucky.) It's still a far, FAR less application time than any drugstore brand. I can confirm that I have my mom's aluminum problems and I have not had itchy arm pits since I've started this.I've tried four scents so far (coconut, lime, sage/eucalyptus and the lavender) and I recently ordered a 2 pack of the sage and eucalyptus again for the summer because I hate wasps and they don't like those scents.Please don't change your formula. I will cry and not know what to do. This is the best deodorant I have EVER had and I don't even MISS the antiperspirant in the drug store stuff. Yes, my arms sweat a but more than before, but it's not like that Lume crap that stinks to high heaven and left me absolutely drenched in the pits of my shirts. Gross.If I could give this 6 stars I would do so in a heartbeat........I am baffled by this deodorant. I've used drugstore deodorant and antiperspirant for years and I think I may have developed either an aluminum allergy or sensitivity issue because I've been itching. I've always had to reapply multiple times a day and it was just a mess.I tried to use just deodorant but everything I could find was a slimy wet mess. I wanted something drier so when I heard people be like ugh it's kinda gritty and rough ugh I was like PERFECT.I've used it for two days now and here is what I've found:Applying it is not smooth like the drugstore stuff. I'm happy with that. I guess to me it feels like it's actually getting to the stink and not putting a thin layer of useless on it.The smell is faint. Not overpowering. It's not disgusting. Very pleasant. I'm using the coconut one and I like it.For not having an antiperspirant I AM NOT SWEATING. I AM NOT STICKY. I DO NOT RAISE MY ARMS AND FEEL THAT GROSS PEELING SENSATION.I've only had to apply it this morning and honestly I forgot about it until now. That was 6 hours ago. By now I would have had to apply drugstore stuff about 6 times.It takes care of 90% of the smell. The other 10% maybe even 5% you'd have to get up in my personal space and stick your nose in my armpit lol. You're always going to have some smell no matter what. It smells clean through my shirt.The trick will be to see what it does in the summer. I'm so hoping it's similar to this and if not oh well. I'm just happy to have a natural deodorant that somehow helps me not be a sweaty sticky mess. 10/10 recommend, will be buying again.

The Hello Sweet Coconut Deodorant with Shea Butter has its pros and cons. On the positive side, the scent is lovely—light, sweet, and not overpowering. It feels gentle on the skin, likely thanks to the inclusion of shea butter, and it’s nice to see a deodorant that’s aluminum-free and more natural.However, the effectiveness is hit or miss. While it works fine for light activity or cooler days, it doesn’t hold up well during workouts or on particularly hot days. I also found it a bit sticky after application, which took some getting used to.If you’re looking for a natural deodorant with a pleasant scent for low-intensity days, this could be a good option. But for those with more active lifestyles, it might not provide the level of protection you’re looking for.
