The Body Shop has introduced a new deodorant range. It contains minerals to absorb wetness and keep you dry without the need for harsh chemicals. Right now, everything in the line is 50% off.
I picked up the roll on deodorant in the cool and zesty scent. The scent is fresh and herbal, and reminds me a little of the all natural bug spray I use. But since I like that scent, I didn't mind. I also liked that you can buy a refill for it when it runs out. Saves on packaging waste and cost. Nice.
However, the deodorant itself did not work for me. I sweat a lot, and definitely need something that controls wetness and odor. This deodorant did not deliver, so I ended up smelling like a stinky old man two hours into my day.
I was determined to give this product a fair chance, and wanted to try and wear it exclusively for about a week. I couldn't do it. I only lasted three days. I smelled bad. I had pit stains. Oh, and did I mention I smelled bad? I mean, BAD.
So it's back to the chemical stuff for me. Maybe if you hardly sweat at all, this will be a good option for you. But if you are more on the sweatier side like me, stay away. Far, far, away.

I bought the blue version of this and hated the smell! See my post, if interested. I bought the pink one soon afterwards and tried it but it didn't work on me, either.
the "all natrual" stuff never works for me either - i expect DRY and SMELL FREEE .. i don't want a whiff of anything .. so i gave up on the all natural deodarants too :o(

Thanks for the review! I was interested in trying it out until now. I hate that I need the chemical stuff... but I sweat a lot and NEED it.
I wish i read your post before I purchased it. I used this today and now my underarms smell horrible. I've never really had B.O. problems but I feel like this product exacerbated it.
