Plastic Swap--Deodorant

Let me be upfront about something--I don't like to smell bad. But I also believe in the body's natural way of cooling itself. So, for many years I have not used an antiperspirant. I use deodorant to be springtime fresh.

There are lots of studies about aluminum and other antiperspirant chemicals being toxic, but I'm not going into that now.

For at least a decade, I have used brands like Toms of Maine and more recently, this Arm and Hammer version of deodorant.

Time to go a few steps further.

Enter Lush and their deodorant bar. NO packaging when you buy it in the store! NO harmful chemicals whatsoever. It takes some adjustment using a powdery bar, but it's completely worth it!

The bar comes with a wax coated bottom, seen here starting to break off after lots of use.

So far this one bar has lasted several months of daily use, justifying the $9 price tag. I have not, however, tried it out in the hot humid summer months yet.

It has a light and very pleasant lemony scent. They only offer the one scent, T'eo at this time. They have other deodorants, but this is the only package-free option.

Try it out, I think you'll like it!

Does anyone have experience using the last crumbly bits once it nears the end??

**All opinions expressed here are my own, Lush did not contact me in any way. I received no compensation for this product review.**

I agree, Karen, T'eo is the best deodorant EVER!

Even though Certain Dri doesn’t test on animals, their parent company, Clarion, does. So it’s guilt by association. I hate that these companies are bought out by larger corporations and causes many of us to think twice about purchasing.
