Cons:**
• Contains alum

I found it after searching around and around for natural based deodorants for many years, I have spent a lot of money trying out different types, some of which actually did the opposite of their function! I’m sure you have experienced that frustration if you are reading this, unless you are lucky enough to be finding this product straight away that is."

**
Cons:**

Review:** "I have tried a few different natural deodorants and have to say this is the best I've found. Most use bicarbonate of soda, this one doesn't, which can leave skin red and irritated. This one has not irritated my skin at all, there is no underarm odour or sweating. The smell is pretty neutral and unnoticeable. Mild enough for kids to use when they get to the age for needing deodorant. Has been great for myself and kids."

Review:** "This natural deodorant comes in plastic free packaging. it is easy to use and applies smoothly. The outer cardboard cover lid allows for the stick to sit above the top of tube during storage, meaning that you don't have to push it up and down every time - this might not sound like much, but from previous experience using a different brand, I can say that it makes use a lot simpler. The deodorant is colourless, effective, does not stain my clothes. All good."
