SENSITIVE SKIN DEODORANT

I received the package last week and I am OBSESSED!!! I’ve been using a diy deo that has worked overall and was a much better alternative than conventional deo, but it still left me with a bit of odor at times so I had to freshen up at least once a day depending on what I was doing each day. I’m completely amazed at how I don’t smell whatsoever with your deo!!! I’m so self conscious about my odor and am constantly checking to make sure I don’t stink and I haven’t had to do that since using your deo for a few days now. Tbh I just check a few times a day bc I’m like “holy cow, is this real!?” Thank you so much for this amazing product!! I have yet to try the rose one but it smells incredible so I’m sure it’ll work just as well! Also, completely love the tinted lip balm!! Feels so good to have a new go-to lip tint that’s nontoxic! Oh, and thank you for adding the peppermint lip balm, it’s just as amazing!!

I decided to replace my deodorant with a more natural and eco friendly option and came along your formula. I was skeptical because all my life I have been battling to find the right deodorant for me. I've always had a problem with a strong odor and my deodorants wouldn't last that long, it was very hard for me because I was always self conscious about my body odor. I tried the no scent natural deodorant for sensitive skin along with a vegan armpit detox and it has been life changing. It lasts more than 24hours, I don't sweat as much and I no longer feel self conscious about my body odor. It's such an amazing formula: a little goes a long way, it's creamy and soft, hydrates my armpits and doesn't irritate the skin. Thank you so much for creating this formula.

I want to say I'm in love with the deodorant!! For the first time ever, I like that it's in glass, I love that kind of whipped texture and omggg the smell!!! Easy to apply, of course I sweat, but it doesn't block it which is good, it also doesn't smell all over me like a perfume. For real, the best I've tried so far! My armpits thank you a lot! Much love your way.

Your unscented deo [thumbs up, clapping emoji]
My mom has sensitive skin, and she's allergic to fragrances, so deodorant has been a STRUGGLE [lauhging emoji]. I've always been helping her finish does that give her a reaction or don't work, so I ordered this one for her and it's AWESOME, thank you so much! My mom was super pumped to see it at eastside [co-op] now too!

I've been using your deo for about a week now and I didn't think deodorant would make me feel this giddy but it does! I'm excited to wake up in the morning. When I ran out of my old plastic deo I ordered this immediately and then just didn't wear any deodorant at all while I was waiting for it to arrive in the mail (~4-5 days) so I didn't do an armpit detox but I haven't had any issues at all. It lasts all day and smells amazing (and I work at a super sweaty, gross smelling summer job). It's a little miracle in a jar. I wish everyone would have this!!

I'm in love with my new deodorant from you guys too! I got the 2oz jar and already know it's going to last a while which is AMAZING! As soon as I'm out I'm messaging you guys for a refill. It literally smells amazing, works incredibly well with my sensitive skin, and I LOVE that it doesn't hurt any animals or the planet!! Xoxo

Okay so I don't usually write reviews but WOW! Y'all have out done yoselvessss!! This deodorant is amazing. I've been struggling for soooo long with extreme sweating which in return, cuases my armpits to smell all the time!! I used to have to use store-bought deodorant 5-10 times a day and still smell. With your deodorant, I will use a tiny pea sized amount like y'all said, and go to hot yoga classes, the beahc, play soccer and my armpits still smell hella fresh!!!! And it's zero waste!!! And I repeat, WOW! Thank you so much. I love it so much and I'm probably gonna go order more for my mom after she tries it. Thank you again. Y'all are wonderful. Oh, and I forgot to review the tinted lip balm. Perfect shade, lasts for-fuckin-ever (literally though, I come out of my hot yoga classes looking bomb), and it's zero waste!!
Thank you and have a great day!!

I usually don't leave reviews, but your deodorant is too incredible to pass up. I've been struggling with sweaty pits for years, and would always notice a slight smell, even with strong-scented antipersirants. After realizing the awful items in those deodorants, I swithced to yours, and let me say...IT IS A MIRACLE. From the moment I put it on in the morning to at night, I am stink-free AND have noticed I am sweating a lot less than I used to! Not to mention, it smells so good and is the perfect consistency. I wish all stores sold this stuff!

Bruh, this deodorant. GAME CHANGER. As with every review, I have used so many natural deodorants that either don't work or smell disgusting on top of my own funk. Yours not only works so well I can skip a day and still smell amazing but I only need ONE application to last me 2 days. What?!
I even use it on my feet because cloth soled sandals are the devil and want me to suffer. Bless you ladies for making something that actually works and is affordable AND zero waste. Just amaze.
It's amazing. Although my boyfriend would appreciate if I stopped putting my armpits in his face yelling, "Legit there's no smell! I promise!"
THANK YOU! 😁

I've been using this deodorant + an underarm detox from No Tox Life for about a week and I'm absolutely in love!! No irritation (and lemme tell you I've gotten some nasty rashes from other natural deodorants), my armpits don't smell, even AFTER working a 9-5 and walking around in 90+ degree miami heat.

I must say I am in love! It is amazing, smells wonderful and works like a charm! The natural deodorants I've tried before left me with a nasty rash (I blame the baking soda) but this one leaves me moisturized!

I am absolutely in LOVE with this all natural, sensitive skin deodorant from sustain yourself :) :) :)
I react to baking soda that is commonly used in natural deodorant and I've had a rough time finding a BS free version that actually worked! Enter this amazing concoction from these amazing fellow Minnesotans and I am hooked!

Ran out of my usual natural deodorant and decided to finally try out the well-loved all-natural homemade cream deodorant from sustain yourself. After a full day of use I have to say I love it!! The texture reminds me of soufflé & it kept me odor-free and fresh through a long work day!

Amazing color. I was hesitant about getting this but finally decided to order one and boy am I glad I did! This is by far the prettiest color I've ever had on my lips. I love how subtle it is but it's easily buildable if you want a more intense color. Also the fact that it doubles as a cheek stain is perfect. I've been trying to simplify and detox my makeup routine and this is my favorite piece so far!!

Deodorant reacts different to everyone based on diet and other factors but I can say I am a very sweaty and stinky individual and I just bought 2 more of these because other zero waste options don't even come close not to mention this has been better overall than any deodorant I've bought ever. Treat yo self!

The deodorant has been a life saver!
After a good detox my lymph nodes healed and I started using it. Don't even have to put it on ever day. No stank, no redness, no pain.

I have lovedddddd your deodorants. I've tried so many natural deodorants that haven't worked at all and still use a ton of plastic. I love this deo and it has worked so well. I also don't mind when it gets a little melty because it's super easy to apply ha.

I have been so happy with my deodorant and lip balm!! The deodorant has survived long weekdays and weekends as a college student, which is better than any deodorant I've used! I apply once or twice daily and I'm set for active days, late nights, sweaty lecture halls, etc. I also don't mind when it's a little melty because it's easier to apply! The lip balm tube is also so convenient for taking to class. I've gotten so many compliments on the tube! Thank you for two of my favorite new products!
