It's been awhile . . . but I'm back.
And I've been trying out some of doTERRA's newly released products! First up a natural deodorant!
For a little background, I've been trying different natural deodorant's for the past few years. My first move was away from an antiperspirant. The short reason - Aluminum, which is possibly* linked by some to cancer and Alzheimer's. I would prefer not to have to deal with either of these, and using an antiperspirant was something I did at least once a day, I dropped the antiperspirant and switched to a deodorant, then have been trying the more natural deodorants. Can I just say there is A LOT out there! And you can spend as little or as much as you would like! There are rocks, sprays, roll-on, sticks, homemade, etc.
So, what did I think?! I really like it! And it works!
Ingredients: Coconut Oil, Beeswax, Triethyl Citrate, Carnauba Wax, Corn Starch, Cypress Oil, Melaleuca Oil, Cedarwood, Bergamot Oil, Sage Oil, Shea Butter & Sodium Caproyl/Lauroyl Lactylate.
Pretty good that there are only two of those I had to look up! The scent is simple, not overpowering or perfuming at all. Cedarwood is also one of my favorite oils, so I really like the smell. When applying, one will notice it is a little sticky. But after application, I didn't notice it again - and my armpits definitely weren't sticking together! As a friend suggested, I applied it more than once. I applied some after my shower (which I usually do at night), then again in the morning or before I headed out. I made sure I added a layer before I headed to work out with my younger two!
My two biggest tests: Rockstar workout and Co-op days! For the workout, I always sweat (that's kinda the point) but I didn't notice a stinky armpit smell afterwards . . . and yes, I checked! For co-op days, I am busy running around setting up for the day, so even if it's not warm, I typically start to sweat a little. Then have to be around others for the rest of the morning, so I don't want to be all stinky from the morning set-up. And I wasn't!
The final selling point - my shirts! I'm not big into washing each shirt after every wear, especially if it's a nice sweater or a shirt I've only worn for a few hours. This cuts down on the wear of my clothes and helps them last longer. But, if I pick up a shirt the following week and the armpits smell - that's is not good! I have not noticed this problem at all using the doTERRA Natural Deodorant.
And now, here's the good part! I am giving away a doTERRA Natural Deodorant! Would you like to try it? Just comment on my blog and you'll be put in for a drawing on November 7th. I will then send you your own doTERRA Natural Deodorant to try out!
But even if you don't win . . . it's a very reasonably priced natural deodorant and comparable to other natural deodorants. $11.33 retail which you can order through my
