Banana Aloe Natural Deodorant

If you're looking for a natural alternative for deodorant. Look no more! It does have its issues but worth it. The good : helps with sweating, smell resistant, no skin irritation at all. Stays on all day. Cons: It crumbles when applying it. But I rub the top till its soft and then apply so it doesn't break off. I love the that its recyclable but the paper does peel. So its a work in progress. It's wonderful knowing what you putting on your body! Finally a great deodorant!

I love this deodorant! I was dissappointed when they stopped having it at target, so I was very happy to see I still had an option to order it. I have used the lavender vanilla, rosewater ginger, and sandlewood cypress scents. I really like all 3 scents, although the lavender vanilla is a bit too perfume-y for me for everyday use. The rosewater ginger smells clean like a nicely sented soap, and my current favorite is the sandlewood cypress. (I love that conifer smell!!) The brand automatically gets extra points in my book by not having a plastic application tube AND doesn’t cost a ton of money. Sometimes it's a little difficult to push up when its cold - but we are talking like a second of extra effort. Close to the end, it may do a little crumbling, but that can be avoided if you let it warm up for a moment on your armpit before you start applying it. I have never had any reaction/skin irritation at all from it and I have been using it 2 or 3 years now. It works great.

My favorite natural, plastic-free deodorant! This is easy to use (glides on similar to regular deodorant, maybe a little bit I have to rub in but not nearly as clumpy or streaky as other brands). I love the scent. I do have to use more than aluminum deodorant but much less than any natural brand I’ve tried.

This deodorant gave me some serious mixed feelings. Above all else I love this Coconut-Mint scent! It is fresh and clean, and the formula is effective for a large chunk of the day, which is really rare for me to find in a natural deodorant. It lasts the entire day through without reapplying, which is amazing. It also left no white powdery residue which was very appreciated. The packaging is super eco-friendly, which gives serious bonus points, as it is totally plastic-free, which is a very important aspect for me. However, the tube is very difficult to push up, and the cardboard edges started quickly curling inward, making it hard to get the cap back on, and sending little blue paper flakes onto the deodorant. This itself did not bother me too terribly much but was definitely inconvenient. I would absolutely take the inconvenience for the eco-friendly aspect, however. The major issue for me was actually the formula itself. As effective as it is, it is super soft and crumbly, and you cannot just apply it directly without making a big mess and leaving crumbly debris all over the armpit area. I was able to deal with this by rubbing it in with my hands after application, or conversely just applying directly with my hands, as the heat from my hands seemed to help it melt a little better. Afterwards, my hands would be super greasy, and I would have to wash them really well to avoid getting it on anything that I would touch afterwards. Unfortunately, presumably because of the extremely soft formula, this was used up at least 4x as quickly as a bar of similar size. Usually, my deodorant lasts for what feels like forever, and this was gone in no time, even though the amount in the package was the same as my usual go to bars which are much firmer. I could not help but feel a lot of it was probably wasted just on my hands alone. If I had the option, I would probably give this three and a half stars. If the formula were firm and went further for the price of it, it would easily be my go-to, and I would likely purchase only this. As it stands, I am pretty torn if I will repurchase again anytime soon.

I really like this deodorant. I love the fact that there are no plastic parts to the container. The deodorant itself has not caused me any skin irritation or itching at all. I love the sandalwood scent, I will try a couple of the other scents eventually.

As many others have said this keeps me smelling pleasant all day long which is an accomplishment after using many other aluminum free brands. I am pretty sure I have used every scent and the only one that I found just awful was lavender vanilla. I thought it smelled like horrible smelling weeds and it gave me a headache! I also wanted to address folks complaints about the deodorant itself crumbling. I have only had this happen once and I noticed that the tubes were getting close to the expiration date and the sticker on the bottom of each tube was peeling off. Not sure if it was the age or how it might have been stored, but now I always check when I receive a new shipment to make sure it is fresh.

Works well, smells pretty good, BUT one container doesn't last very long. The cardboard is like nails on a chalkboard. Cannot afford $15/ month in deo.
