Thursday Plantation Tea Tree Deodorant

My dad uses this religiously so when I decided to try and use predominately natural based products I turned to this as it can be easily brought in supermarket opposed to a specialty store.

Unfortunately it is only really good to causal stay around home days for me. If I wear it to work I start getting wet arm pits and odor.

In fairness to the product this could be down to two things

1. It takes a long time to dry and I usually put a top on before it dries

2. Some conventional deodorants either don't work for me or stop working.

For now I will keep searching for that natural deodorant that works for me!

I probably should have known better as tea tree is quite harsh but ow! This made my underarms sting. While I think it does work pretty effectively at combating sweat, I probably won't use it again but it seems like it doesn't agree with my skin. It smells really strong as well. I found I wasn't able to wear perfumes as I essentially just smelt of tea tree.

I bought this deodorant from Countdown for $5.49 on special. I was interested to try it as I’m aware of what a good ingredient Tea Tree is, and I like the idea of using a deodorant that is aluminium free.

It comes in a bog standard roll on bottle and has the Thursday Plantation Tea Tree branding. So the first thing that happens when you unscrew the lid is the smell – yikes – it’s pretty strong and not entirely pleasant. Then you roll it on and it’s quite watery and takes a minute or two to dry. But then you’re off.

I’ve been using it for a while now and find it works very well. No sweating during the day at all, but when I get hot I can smell the deodorant. No staining on clothing either.

I will finish the bottle I have, but I probably won’t repurchase, as I’m strongly guided by scent when buying products and sadly the scent of Tea Tree is a bit hard to live with. I recommend it to anyone who doesn’t mind the smell though, as apart from that, it’s a good product.

I really love natural products and I love the Thursday Plantation brand so decided to give this deodorant a go. It was on special for $6 which is a bit more than what I usually pay.

It comes in a standard roll on deodorant bottle with the Thursday Plantation labeling. Simple but I like it. I find it is quite a thin consistency which I am not used to. Also it takes a long time to dry which is really annoying for me.

Now the smell, I love deodorants that smell good and this is far too strong smelling for me. Almost overpowering and certainly not what I want to smell like. I like tea tree but not when that is all I can smell.

I applied this after my shower and went to work. It did not stop me from sweating and after a hard days work I had pit odour lol and I never get this. I know it is not described as an antiperspirant but I thought it would work a bit better than it did. For me it was not good and I will stick to my dove deodorant.

Now I'm not a wiffy person and i try to use products that are friendly to my skin and as chemical free as possible. This is why I chose this product. I loved the smell when I applied it and it felt cool on my skin, but after about four hours i felt self conscious that I didn't smell like my normal clean professional self. It wasn't bad enough for anybody else to notice but it was enough for me to want to keep my arms by my side and jump in the shower at my first opportunity. I wouldn't mind but it wasn't even summer and I hadn't been to the gym. Its a shame as I have chosen to go back to my chemical roll on but smelling good for the whole day is important to me so that was my compromise, I guess I need to keep looking.

I adore the scent of tea tree so I was excited when I discovered this product. Initially I was a bit concerned because it was called "deodorant" not "anti-perspirant" but when I read the label it stated that it keeps body odour at bay so I went with it. My excitement soon disappeared after the first use which left my armpits burning for a couple of minutes. I had just shaved though so I put this out of my mind and went about my day. By lunch time I was reaching for my Rexona spray as my armpits were wet and smelly. While the product smells amazing, it definitely doesn't help keep my body odour at bay. I used this for a few days but after that I had to stop because it left my armpits ridiculously itchy. Now it's in the bottom of my bin.

I switched from anti-perspirant roll on to Thursday Plantation Tea Tree deodorant after developing contact dermatitis in my armpits after shaving. I thought the tea tree oil would help calm my skin and clear up the dermatitis.

While it has a strong tea tree smell upon application, this quickly wears off and the roll on needs to be applied every four hours to prevent body odour. Working with clients all day, this was not ideal or convenient for me, and I was paranoid about body odour. The one day I couldn't reapply frequently, and I did smell awful by the end of the day.

Another thing I wanted to mention, is that this roll on stings badly. It takes two to three minutes for the stinging feeling to go away after applying, and for the formula to dry on the skin.

Personally, I would not recommend, and will not be repurchasing. I have since switched to using Nivea Sensitive Protect Anti-Perspirant.

The first thing I want to say is if you don't like the smell of tea tree, this product isn't for you. It has a very strong tea tree smell, which I personally love, so it's great for me. I always keep this in my bathroom, I have used it for years. It definitely keeps you smelling fresh and odourless. The one down fall is it isn't the best at keeping you dry. I have found my armpits to still sweat, not overly but they don't stay dry. That being said, they're still odour free and keep that lovely tea tree smell. It doesn't sting when applied after shaving, and I love Thursday plantation and how they utilise tea tree. So this product is a winner for me.

My mum use to buy this for me because of the 'no aluminum'. It was just your normal deoderant. I found the smell of tea tree over powering though. But if you love that smell youll love this one! also. But nothing special for me and have others i prefer. also for me i prefer an anti persperant over a deodorant but each to their own :)
