CRYSTAL Deodorant Mineral Deodorant Stick, Travel, 1.5 Ounce

WOW! I'm impressed, this stops all the smell from my armpits, but it does not block the sweat, which is perfect. I have switched to healthier options to detox my body, but nothing seemed to work. I've tried more than 5 "healthier" options and wanted to try this after a friend referred it.I am very impressed, you have to make sure you are wearing it right.- Start with clean armpits out of the shower or clean them over the sink - it works much better to start fresh- wet either your armpits OR the end of the salt stick- rub more than you would for bar deodorants- allow your underarms to dry for a minute, while you get ready or whatever, this prevents anything from getting on my shirt.I have found it works for a full 6-8 hours depending on my activity level. This stuff is amazing. You will still sweat! It just stops the smell

I absolutely love this natural deodorant! I’ve been using it for many years, and it never lets me down. The travel size is perfect for tossing in my bag, making it easy to take with me wherever I go. One of my favorite things about this deodorant is that it’s completely odorless, which is great because it doesn’t interfere with any other scents or perfumes I wear.What’s even better is how gentle it is on my skin. As someone with sensitive skin, I really appreciate that this deodorant is natural and free from harsh chemicals, yet it’s still super effective. It goes on smoothly and leaves no residue behind, so I don’t have to worry about any white marks or stickiness. It’s a reliable, fuss-free product that keeps me feeling fresh all day—highly recommend for anyone looking for a natural deodorant that works!

I have been trying to go more natural / reduce chemicals in my home and lifestyle routine. This switch has a been a good one. Little more effort to put on that traditional stick deodorant but works just as well IMO. Quality is good. And I know this will last me a long time (well over a year). It's smaller in size than I thought it would be but that's ok. Easy to use. Easy to travel with too. Highly recommend.

Update 5/23/18: I still use the crystal most days. I've been using another deodorant when it's hot or I'm exercising because it falls a bit short for me there. I plan to try another natural deodorant soon to see if it's an improvement over the crystal. That being said, this little thing has really lasted. I dropped my crystal a ways back and a piece broke off. I don't recall what I used, but I just sanded off the rough edges and after a few weeks or so the end was nice and rounded again. The same travel crystal is still working for me even though it's been almost 2 years. I wash the end off with Dr. Bronners every once in a while, just cause.Finally! A natural deodorant that works! I wanted to find an alternative to my chemical laden antiperspirant and first tried Lavanila Vanilla Grapefruit Deodorant. It smelled pretty good, but didn't work for me at all. After just an hour or so of not even doing much I could faintly smell myself through the perfumey smell. Gross. I gave up on finding a natural deodorant for a while after that until I kept reading about backpackers using Crystal Deodorant and having great success. With a backpacking trip coming up I figured I'd give it a try. Worst case scenario I smell while out in the woods, big deal. After testing it out the day I got it (and continuously doing smell checks on myself throughout the day) I couldn't smell anything! You still sweat some, as it's not an antiperspirant, but there is literally no smell at all. You have to use it properly though. It's not like normal deodorant where you give a swipe or two and you're good. After my shower in the morning I towel off leaving my underarms still a little damp. Then I apply the crystal to my underarms until they become dry and there is friction between the crystal and your skin. If you already dried yourself off, you can put a drop or two of warm water on it and do the same. The more water the more time it takes to rub it on til it's dry though. I got the travel size to save weight and space backpacking, but seeing as it doesn't really wear down at all it should last a really long time. I'm just happy to finally find a natural deodorant that works.

I have been using the original CRYSTAL "rock style" unscented deodorant for over ten years, and I find it to be far superior to any scented or unscented traditional deodorant I’ve tried. Here are a few reasons why:1) It reliably blocks odors throughout the day.2) It has never stained any of my clothes.3) It has a much longer shelf life than traditional options, making it far more cost-effective. The small “travel” size is my favorite because it lasts so long, and it's economical and travel-friendly.4) CRYSTAL is formulated from natural mineral salts, so it's free from unhealthy aluminum compounds commonly found in traditional deodorants, making it healthier.5) When I choose to wear a fragrance, whether it's an oil, cologne, or perfume, it becomes much more vibrant and appealing because it doesn't compete with the fragrance of a deodorant.Tips for use and longevity:- Before each use, slightly moisten the crystal (or the skin) with water for a smoother application.- After applying it, make sure it’s dry before re-capping it. This will greatly maximize its longevity.I hope this information is helpful!

Very nice quality deodorant! Make sure to apply it on clean skin only! It has no aluminum, not sticky, and protects skin from bacteria! Has no scent, which is great! It is a stone, not a roller. Don't put water on the actual salt rock, it will cause it to detach and fall out from the base. Instead, wet your armpits and apply the deodorant to the wet underarm. They sell it in liquid with a roller, which has a good scent. If you have sensitive skin, this is a good option for you. Great inexpensive deodorant!
