The two main reasons that I was drawn to trying Naturally Fresh Deodorant Crystal was performance and price. I kept hearing how great it was and I saw how it flew off the shelves (when I worked as a Body Care Buyer at Whole Foods). In addition, at about $3.99 this deodorant is a comparatively good deal in the natural deodorant section.
I realized how good this deodorant truly is when I went camping for a few days. With only a lake as a shower and a strict scent-free to be bear-free policy, this natural deodorant really showed its true quality. When I’m not in the woods, I do miss having a deodorant with a scent, but this one works well enough that I still continue to use it (as well as my other, more pricey favorite by Lavanila).
Naturally Fresh Deodorant Crystal is 100% natural, contains no harmful parabens or aluminum*, and is made with pharmaceutical grade mineral salts. This is a smart natural choice for people with sensitive skin. This deodorant kills odor-causing bacteria while still allowing your pours to naturally detoxify.
*Naturally Fresh Deodorant Crystals contains the naturally occurring compound Alum, not to be confused with harmful, processed aluminum (Aluminum Zirconium or Aluminum Chlorohydrate). Technically speaking, aluminum is a metal while Alum is a compound. Many of these processed aluminum molecules can be absorbed into the skin and bloodstream. Alum molecules create a barrier against odor causing bacteria and contain a large molecule which does not penetrate the surface of the skin. {via}
Keep in mind: when switching from an anti-antiperspirant deodorant to a natural deodorant, your body might take some time to adjust to this healthier, natural choice…Give it time because it’s well worth the health benefits!
Ha nice job with the sans scent camping reference! Alum–interesting fact, great to know!
I’ve been thinking about my deodorant and I actually don’t like it. I think the lack of better choices made me stick with the one I use… If I find this one, I’ll try it.
Thanks for sharing.
Never tried this… I do remember trying the chrystal that you wet and thinking it wasn’t too effective but this looks like a step up- thanks for sharing! Now if I could only get my husband to go with a natural deodorant instead of the super stinky antiperspirant he’s addicted to :)
Thanks for this! I haven’t seen this brand before, but at that price I will definitely pick it up if I see it. Natural deodorants are typically just one of those things you shell out the big bucks for, but it would be great to have an inexpensive option!
I sent away for a free sample, used it for a few weeks, and now will only use Naturally Fresh. It is amazing how well this works. After working in the yard and building up a sweat, no odor at all. Armpits even feel much cleaner without all that aluminum gunk. So glad I saw this on a Facebook freebie site and sent for a sample.
