FreedomNatural Aluminum-Free, Non-Toxic Deodorant (1.9 ounce) (Bergamot Mint)

Good but it stains the cloths

Hormones and hot flashes have made me stinky but this deodorant tackled it successfully all day and night. Highly recommended and I have tried so many I lost count.

For such an expensive deodorant, you would hope they wouldn’t come defective. I’m quite bummed (Livid?) that Two of the three deodorants that came in my pack had defective mechanisms so they wouldn’t raise up at all. The first one a tried worked great but the second and third ones are utterly unusable because there’s no way to get the deodorant out of the stick and into my armpits.

I bought this along with several different kinds of deodorants for my daughter to try out. She found another she liked first so I tried this one after my antiperspirant ran out. I’ve tried many different natural deodorants and they never seemed to last long enough or they felt sticky. I’m now a convert as this deodorant works well for me. It smells nice and is not perfumy or overwhelming. It lasts very well for me, even after 5-10km runs. Oddly, it did give me a rash after about a month of use which was very disappointing, but, a quick look on their website said to take a break for a few days and try again. The rash cleared quickly and I started using the deodorant again without any further problems.

I finally found a natural aluminium free that both works and does not irritate my skin. Many of such deodorants have baking soda in them and they cause itchiness and red patches on me, or they just don't really work. I've used Freedom for a few weeks in really hot weather and I've been very happy with the results. Sometimes there is a slightly funky smell if I was in the sun for some time but otherwise, I've not had any issues using it. I apply it right after bathing at night, sleep in an aircon room and apply it again in the morning before I go out. It lasts through the day for me.

I have tried so many deodorants since I was in highschool and I could never find one that would keep me from sweating profusely while also keeping me fresh all day. I can't believe I'm finally able to say I found one and it smells amazing! Lasted me all day and every once in a while when I would check it was still fresh as when I first applied. Definitely recommend this!Update 9/2/2016:Still going strong and loving this deodorant. I've noticed a few differences in my mood, which I'm not sure is related, but I feel happier, probably because I'm more confident. My natural smell is definitely ALOT better since I've been using this product and I absolutely love that. It also doesn't say it's an antiperspirant, but I have noticed that I actually don't sweat as much with this product. Now, the only thing I've noticed that I'm trying to figure out is I've had this itching sensation under my arms. I'm not sure if that's normal, but I've read some people think it's our body pushing out the old deodorant gunk out of the armpit glands. That's just an unsupported opinion that I came across when reading reviews about natural deodorants. Anyways, I don't mind the itching, it comes and goes and there is no rash or dark spot(s) so it's still a worthy product to me. This is my Honest opinion of this product in order to receive a free stick of Freedom Stick deodorant (hopefully the bergamot, my favorite). :)Update: 9/29/16It's been about 2 months now and I'm still enjoying the bergamot mint stick. I did have those bumps which people say are swolen lymph nodes, but I massaged them every night and when I took a shower and they went away. Still haven't really had any odor issues like what I had with regular deodorant. Just try it, for some, it may not be as good as regular deo, but for others like me that have issues with regular deo, it works pretty great.
