Review: Earth Mama Calming Lavender Deodorant

It’s SO important to use natural deodorant. If there’s ONE thing you are going to switch, I’d start with this!!! This is one of those products that commonly contains dangerous toxins. And it’s used in a location that can you don’t want to mess with…

Yes, sweat smells. But remember, we sweat for a reason. It’s our bodies natural way of removing toxins. If we block that with an anti-perspirant…where do the toxins go? Nowhere! They stay in your body!

EWWWW!!!

Instead of trying to stop the sweat, focus on controlling the scent with a natural deodorant.

Don’t tell me “they don’t work” because I know that they do. Maybe not ALL of them…but SOME of them!

I’ve tried so many. Some work great, but putting them on is a pain. Some are easy to put on, but don’t work at all. Some are wonderful all around, but cost a ton. This one is right in the middle…

What is it?

This is a natural deodorant that actually works really well.

It’s extra gentle – it was made specifically for sensitive skin, pregnancy, and breastfeeding…but it works for EVERYONE!

It smells like lavender. Hello relaxation!

It’s made with organic ingredients. The stars of the show are lavender, calendula, and coconut oil.

Coconut oil kills odor-causing bacteria.

It also has baking soda and magnesium.

How it feels?

It feels smooth once it gets on. Putting it on doesn’t always feel the best. It feels a bit sticky at first…but it dries quickly! If you hold it against your skin for a few seconds before you start swiping, it goes on a bit easier.

My thoughts…

Yay! A natural deodorant that smells good and works well! How exciting!

Seriously though, it is exciting.

I’ve had zero irritation and 100% good smell since using this product. The lavender smell is oh so relaxing.

The ingredients are worry-free and keep me feeling fresh. I don’t know what more I could ask for in a deodorant?!

*My only complaint is the mess I get when I put the lid back on. The product seems to get all around the stick when I use it…leaving a layer of deodorant around the lid after I put it back on. Then I have to wipe it down, and I feel like I’m wasting product.

Pro-tip: Make sure you roll up and down each time to avoid a mess and wasting product. Take your time and be gentle with your swiping!
