This just happened to be my lucky week in the deodorant department. I have searched and searched for deodorants that work and are natural for several years. I also was searching for something that was reasonably priced. I was in a grocery outlet store two weeks ago and found Tom’s of Maine natural roll-on deodorant in lemongrass scent. I thought I would give it a shot.
I had tried Tom’s of Maine’s stick deodorant and was pretty certain that they were useless for me. I wondered why I thought this might be different than the stick, but for the price which is the same price as 1.9 oz. of Arm and Hammer roll-on deodorant for 3 oz. of Tom’s product, if it worked it was a great buy.
I put it to the test and believe me, I have been sweating like a work horse, and so far it is working wonderfully! In fact, it was so wonderful and so cheap that I went back and bought 4 more bottles of it. I have not found anyone on-line that compares to the price I paid but even at 4.09 it would be worth every penny.
On the website, Skin Deep: A cosmetic data base of products and what they do to our health and environment, it came out a 2 on a scale of 1-10. That beats Arm and Hammer’s products by at least 3 points except for one deodorant stick which rated a 3. I can go for that.
I tried Burt’s Bees Sage Deodorant once, but found that it had allergens that I couldn’t handle. I still feel that if it would work for anyone, it would be a great product but it is a bit more expensive. It’s hard to be natural and frugal in this day and age. It can be done though, with a bit of practice.
I would love to put any other natural deodorants that people have found work for them and also are inexpensive in my list so if you have any, please let me know.
Until then, I hope that you keep smelling sweet!
