i totally have "issues" with body odor (do i smell? am i sure? let me sniff again.) and i've tried many, many different products (including the stones and tom's of maine). i heartily recommend benedetta's "
the best deodorant" ($15). it is aptly named; it really is the best. it is vegan, organic, does not contain any chemicals and is free from
aluminum,
proplylene glycol and
parabens. and it works! this is the only product i've found that actually deodorizes. i do keep a container in my purse because i do find i may need a quick spritz on warm days.
it's made by a small company located in sonoma county, california and the owner is extremely knowledgeable, friendly and helpful. in addition to the deodorant, i use their
holistic, chemical-free sun care line, which is fantastic. i have also used their skin care products in the past with good success. they offer free shipping, too.
as a bonus, i also love their way of thinking. on "conscious living" from their
site :
Quote:
conscious living is to realize that we all have the opportunity to make even simple choices every day - consciously. to really think about the effects of our decisions, not only to ourselves but also to this world we all share. do we choose to recycle? support organic/biodynamic farmers? do we approach our health in a holistic manner? will our choices promote sustainability? but most of all do we choose to honor each breath, each other and ultimately this life.
