RATING: 3 TREES
Product Link:

I bought mine at the vitamine shop but you can also purchase through the, (very cluttered), Jason website, whole foods, and the super health store online. Drugstore.com no longer carries it. There is much conflicting research on aluminum in anti perspirants and breast cancer/alzheimers. Bottom line, you can’t be afraid of everything, however for those that are -here is an option.

PROS:
+ smells good at first
+ aluminum and paraben free

CONS:
-  Like most natural deodorants, you may need to reapply if you’re working out or sitting in one of those 4-hour meetings that we all love so much.
-  gets a weird sour-fruit smell after I’ve worn it for awhile.

INGREDIENTS:
Propylene glycol, aqua (purified water), calcium starch octenylsuccinate, sodium stearate, silica, ethylhexylglycerin, soyethyl morpholinium ethosulfate, cetearyl alcohol, ceteareth-20, prunus armeniaca (apricot) oil, zinc ricinoleate, allantoin, tocopheryl acetate (Vitamin E), bisabolol, fragrance oil blend.

FINAL VERDICT: I’ve decided I am not a huge fan because of the smell after awhile. It may vibe better with your own chemistry. If anyone has had better luck with a natural deodorant, that at the very least is cruelty free, let me know. For now I will probably stick, (pun intended), with the aluminum-filled antiperspirants and hope I don’t get alzheimers or some other ailment of the sort.
