D-O100% Natural, Crystal Deodorant Stick - Mini Travel Size, 2.125 Oz, No Aluminum Chlorohydrate, Parabens, Propyls, or Other Chemicals (2 Pack)Compact by Design (Amazon-developed Certification)

I have been waiting all my life to find a product that would help me with my ongoing pit/deodorant saga. I would say for the past 10 years I have been searching and trialing numerous different “natural” deodorants and methods but the usual happened - it would work for a little bit and then it wouldn’t work at all. But THIS changed my life. I no longer worry about chemicals or smells. I trust/recommend this product 100%. I’ve been using it for several months, including hot summer months and it hasn’t failed me.

I’ve been using these types of mineral salt deodorants for over 15 years. I save a ton of money and am not damaging my body with harmful chemicals. This deodorant is fabulously priced and is just what I needed!

I've long been a fan of Crystal brand salt-based deodorants, but this product is a major step forward. The problem with the solid Crystal product is there is no way to securely hold the lump of crystal. Reviewers have suggested wrapping a wide rubber band around the lump, to give you something to grip, but the problem remains: the Crystal product lasts only until it slips out of your hand and is shattered on the floor or counter. This product solves that problem, by forming the salt crystal into a longish cylinder, with a plastic base. It would be a little better if the plastic base were taller, providing more gripping area, but I just grab the whole bottom of the cylinder, which provides an adequate grip. Without the risk of dropping the crystal and ruining it, this package of 6 salt cylinders should last indefinitely and save you a ton of money over conventional deodorants. I should probably add that salt-based deodorants don't work for everyone, so here are some things you should know. They stop odor, not perspiration. They only work if you've already cleaned the bacteria from your underarms before applying the salt (which prevents the growth of new bacteria). For me, this product is perfect. It's effective, non-staining, healthy, and cheap. It doesn't get any better than that.

I have been detox from commercial deodorants about 4 years. The pro for me is that its small enough to carry in a purse and its to use.The con is once the deodorant is wet (after a few weeks) the base of the deodorant starts detaching from the base. I took a star because of that. It become messy.UPDATE * February 17, 2023I still have these deodorants and it’s going 2 years and it’s still great.UPDATE * December 8, 2023I finished one of two mini deodorants & cost effectiveUPDATE: * June 18, 2024This deodorant is great for those that being detoxed. It practical and cost effective.

*THIS IS NOT A SPONSORED REVIEW. These are my own thoughts regarding my personal experience with D-O and this particular product I purchased.*This is a great alternative to the CRYSTAL deodorant stick. CRYSTAL’s packaging uses a plastic twist-up mechanism that is not always reliable, and the stone sometimes becomes stuck. However, D-O’s cap twists completely off, revealing a stone that is always ready to use without the worry of scraping the pits with plastic. I really appreciate that.D-O’s stone is just as effective as CRYSTAL’s. I primarily bought D-O’s product because the packaging is much more convenient. The stone itself is cut smoothly and is super gentle to use straight out of a shower.Anyone who has not used a deodorant stone, remember that this is a deodorant and not an antiperspirant. You will continue to sweat, but this D-O stone will prevent loud B.O. stank (yes, “stank”...LOL) from having a public concert. Just to be extra safe, I still use a scented all-natural deodorant on top of the D-O stone, but that is totally optional. With the stone alone, the sweat smell stays completely neutral for a decent amount of time—depending on how much exertion you use throughout your day. Honestly, on weekends off work, I could easily get away with not reapplying for a couple of days (I spend my off days being the introvert that I am). Also, it does not stain your clothes whatsoever.Bottom line: it works and the packaging is excellent for continued easy use. If you are not opposed to naturally sweating and just need something to neutralize the funk, give this a try!

Didn’t work for me and I also dropped one and it shattered.

So this is made with potassium alum. It works as well as any other potassium alum crystal deodorant. It does NOT work as well as crystal deodorants that are made with ammonium alum, which is a different mineral salt.I'm an EMT, and we're sweating under those layers of PPE right now. I'd been using the Crystal brand rock with ammonium alum all year, but decided to try these because they were at a really good price. (I can't use standard stick antiperspirants because I'm allergic, and a burning red rash is not what you want in your armpits.) Anyway, I tried this brand of deodorant. I was getting towards the end of the shift when I reached up for something and got a whiff of my own pit funk. After months of not stinking even in hot weather, for that to happen in November was an unpleasant surprise to know that my anti-stink shield had failed me.I'm guessing for normal use, this product will be just fine. I wore it at home on my days off and I still smelled fresh and clean all day.But if you're a medical professional wearing layers of PPE because this is a pandemic and people won't wear their masks so you're handling dying patients who can't understand how they're dying from a hoax and swear the media is lying even while they're about to be put on a ventilator... you might want to get the one with ammonium alum in it.

I used to use the soap bar shaped one and now I use this one. This one is much easier to use. Keeps me fresh and I know that I am avoiding harsh chemicals. Win win!
