Thursday Plantation Tea Tree 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 purchased this on sale for $2.50 or $3 from Countdown when I did my last fortnightly shopping. I was super excited as I needed a new deodorant that does not test on animals (although Thursday Plantation is not a CF accredited company due to the parent company not filing the status no animal testing is carried out on their products.)

Smells very strongly of tea tree oil as that is the main ingredient, it has taken some getting used to. Still not my favourite scent though.

I found it very surprising when this did not last all day like I expect my deodorants too. I work long days at a desk and this deodorant had worn off after 7 hours, which is just not good enough. I positively smell, which I assume if I can smell me everyone else can do.

Disappointing for an all natural product, I figured it would work better as there is no nasties but that is not the case with this product. Will not be repurchasing.

I've been looking for a natural deodorant for a long time and when I saw this on sale at my local supermarket, decided to bite the bullet and try it. Firstly, I adore the smell of this! The tea tree is very fresh smelling but not so overpowering that you can smell it a mile away.

But for me, that's where the love affair ends. This deodorant didn't help me with sweat at all. I feel like it would last a quarter of the day before I could smell myself, which made me very self conscious! This also unfortunately also stained several of my shirts, so for me it's back to square one for finding something natural that works!

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 was really hoping I'd like this product. Other products by Thursday Plantation are awesome, but I wish I had read the reviews for this one first.

The idea of a less harmful, aluminum free deodorant caught my eye. If I can find a more natural product that works, I'm all for it. But sadly, this just didn't work for me at all.

When using this, I could literally smell myself. Which I've never had happen before when wearing deodorant. I may aswell have worn nothing because I think that something in this deodorant actually amplified the smell of normal body odour. Even my husband asked if I wasn't wearing deodorant. A couple of times I actually applied it twice in 1 day to see if that would help, but it didn't.

Perhaps it may work better for other people, but there is no way I will use it again as I would be too self conscious.

Personally I don't recommend this product.

Love the idea of a natural deodorant but this one seems to make you smell worse. Skin reacted a bit to it aswell

Although this deodorant claims to be ok to use after shaving don’t! Weirdly for a natural aluminium free deodorant it stings and inflames my pits if I use within about 2 days of shaving! It smells great. Like tea tree which others may not like. But unfortunately makes my underarms itch like I’ve got fleas and does for a couple of days even after I stop using.

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.
