Crystal Essence Roll on Deodorant

I find this product reasonable effective at reducing odor but only on days when I am not very active. I really wanted to love this as have been looking for an effective natural alternative for a while now. It doesn't prevent sweating either which I don't mind but if that's what you are after, this won't be the product for you. I have the pomegranate scent which I purchased off I herb and I'm actually not too keen on the scent, although I have heard others love it (which was the reason I chose it) but I love the feel of it. Being so used to supermarket roll-ons which are quite sticky this was pleasantly surprising, not at all sticky feeling and very comfortable to wear. I will continue using this on days that I am not as active and don't mind sweating a bit as it is a lot healthier and by no means horrible either. But I probably will try out other natural deodorants though so won't be repurchasing.

I have been using this deodorant for a long time because it is supposed to be aluminium free, and does a good job on preventing odour ( although not sweating). The other day I read an article about the ipact of aluminium salts on breast health and took a better look at this deodorant. It says on the bottle no aluminium chlorohydrate, but the ingredients in this is potassium alum, which in fact is a aluminium salt. I just felt misled that I used it for so long and it contains aluminium. I’ll have to find a new alternative.

I was gifted this product for my birthday, which thrilled me because I already used the rock deodorant from the same brand. This deodorant is easier to use as the product doesn't need to wet before application.

I love to use this product because it smells beautiful (I have the lavender scented one) and really works. I also feel it is healthier than other deodorants, due to the ingredients and it doesn't stop sweating (which is a natural process), but it stops the smell and discussing feel of sweating. I think this is a great price and far healthier for the body than many other supermarket deodorants. One thing I will say is that it is much more difficult to access than other deodorants on the market, with only a few stores selling it. However, I believe along with the list above, it can also be found in Farmers.

I've recently just gone back to using this, its a great natural deodorant. I put it on after my shower and it lasts all day in winter (I'm yet to find a natural deodorant that actually works hard in summer - I live in Northland), goes on smoothly, and doesn't leave marks on my clothes. If I know I'm going to have a strenuous day, or its going to be stinking hot I will however keep a regular antiperspirant on hand, as this probably wont hold up in the heat. My current is the lavender & white tea, its rather a nice refreshing scent and isn't 'in your face' at all.

Definitely the best deodorant I've tried - it smells great, lasts all day, and is super gentle and natural. 100% believe in this product and use it every day!

I like this deodorant but only for days when I'm not that active. I don't find it gives enough protection otherwise. It also goes on quite wet so needs a few minutes to dry, not he plus side it doesn't mark my clothes. Probably better in winter in my opinion.

I started using this when I was pregnant because of the natural mineral salt, better option for mummas. Love the soothing lavender smell. But needed to re apply at least one more time through the day if I was active. Better option over deodorant with alimi

i loved the idea of this deodorant unfortunately it wasn't for me, i don't sweat or smell bad usually (lucky me) so i thought id try a natural deo without the nasty aluminium. unfortunately it just wasn't for me i felt as the the natural smell of this actually made me smell like i had b/o

This isn’t the ideal deodorant, especially if you want something that keeps you dry! But in saying that, I absolutely love it. I prefer to use more natural products and try to avoid deodorants with aluminium in. This was one of the 1st natural deodorants I tried, and it does keep me smelling fresh all day which is exactly what I wanted. The actual product is easy to apply but can feel a little sticky when first rolled on. This doesn’t bother me though. It dries quickly and I’ve never had a problem with it staining my clothes like some other deodorants do.

For me, the benefits definitely outweigh the negatives so it’s a staple in my beauty cupboard now.
