I am majorly disappointed by this deodorant, the smell and application are fine I don’t have an issue with that. My issue is that I’m constantly having to reapply, I’ll put some on at night the next morning I have to reapply. It doesn’t last long at all. I also don’t sweat a lot so I’m not sure why it didn’t work for me.
Thanks so much for sharing your experience! We’re sorry to hear our deodorant didn’t work out for you right away. Everyone’s body chemistry is different and what works great for one person may take more time or not be the right fit for another, so we appreciate your feedback.
If you were previously using an antiperspirant before switching to our deodorant, it can sometimes take a little time to adjust as your armpits transition away from pore-clogging ingredients. Some of our top recommendations include gently scrubbing each underarm for at least 20 seconds in the shower to help remove buildup and keep the area fully clean and neutralize odor causing bacteria. Many of our customers also find that using our Detox Bar Soap and Armpit Detox helps support the transition and boosts the effectiveness of natural deodorant. We also recommend only applying deodorant onto freshly cleansed skin.
Regardless, we appreciate you giving us a try and sharing your honest feedback :)
This is THE best natural deodorant I have used. I am a heavy sweater, but I can still sweat without all the smells. I won't be using anything else!
Have tried many clean options and I usually get redness and have to stop using. Was getting so discouraged by the stink. :( the detox works really well! The deo has not given me a rash yet. If you have not had luck with other clean/natural brands this is worth a try.
Really useful. I was unsure about the armpit detox being at all effective, but after first use was already really glad I bought it. Deodorant works well, and is less messy than similar products I'd tried in the past. Also really appreciate the thoughtful packaging, all recyclable.
Great amount of product in each sample to be able to try the scents out for multiple days! This is such a great option for trying out the scents before committing to a full size. Also perfect size to take on the go/for travel!!
I LOVE this deodorant. It is the best natural deodorant I have ever tried, and love that it's totally plastic and cruelty free. I will not be going back to traditional deo!
This soap bag is great at making sure no soap goes to waste, especially when you get to annoyingly small pieces of soap. Also a nice gentle exfoliating feel when using.
I love the scent of the Lavender Patchouli soap, it's not super strong or overpowering but leaves the perfect amount of scent lingering on your skin. The quality is great and i love the clean ingredients! Sustain Yourself is becoming a favorite shop of mine!
This deodorant is amazing! I've spent the past few years post-menopause trying to find a deodorant that not only kept me from smelling awful, but that didn't make my clothes smell or my pits break out in rashes. This is it! I was used to smelling like cumin when I perspired and this has gotten rid of the odor completely. (Maybe it was my last deodorant that caused it, but I still smelled when I wasn't wearing it, so who knows.) I don't stink, my pits are happy, and I am over the moon!
Detox paste was super easy to make and worked great! The lemon lavender deodorant smelled divine and applied super easily. Didn’t make my fingers waxy upon application either. No smell and I apply morning and night and don’t have to re-apply throughout the day. Will be repurchasing more scents!
Please don’t change the thing about this! I love the chocolatey scent, silky feel, ease of application, and glass container without any plastic. I searched high and low for this, and I’m super happy with my purchase. This is the best body butter I have ever used! And my highly sensitive skin tolerates it beautifully. I have lots of skin allergies, so that’s saying a lot. Thank you so much for this wonderful product.
The product itself I love, but this time I was disappointed with the size of sample pack. I bought it to share with a friend to introduce her to the product. I was surprised to see the size was significantly smaller than what I had purchased before. Yes, there were more options, but the amount of deodorant in most of the tiny tins were practically empty. For the price I paid, I wish I had purchased one item in a larger size.
Hi Sandra, thank you so much for your feedback and taking the time to write about your experience! We're so happy to hear you love our deodorant.
We completely understand that this can feel a little disappointing, given that you tried our Sample Pack a few years ago that may have looked a little different. Our current Sample Pack is designed to provide enough product to test each scent and find your favorite, rather than serve as a long-term-use option. While the tins may have a little less deodorant than a few years ago, they still provide multiple applications per scent. For complete transparency regarding the price point, our Sample Pack has more packaging components than our standard 2oz deodorant jar, so it's more costly to produce. However, they shouldn't be 'practically empty', so if you feel like this could have been a mistake, please reach out to us directly and we'd love to make it right!
We'll absolutely keep your review in mind as we continue to refine our offerings. If you're ever looking for a product to share, our full size products definitely offer better value, and you can always refill our sample tins to take on-the-go.
Thanks again for your feedback and support!

So far I love it. The detox gives a great clean slate and the grapefruit deodorant smells great. I have tried so many natural deodorants and haven't liked any, so far this one is winner. Hopeful it continues to work well, I am so tired of toxic deodorant
I have been buying my deodorant exclusively from Sustain yourself for years and I will never go back. It is the best and works incredible.
Tried soo many deodorants after serious burns and blisters from Oldspice and other name-brand deodorants, including the more natural ones like Native. This deodorant (in this specific scent) is the only deodorant I’ve found that doesn’t give me rashes or blisters in my armpits. It’d be cool if it came in stick form.
I bought this after a friend let me try a sample and it works great. I love how simple the ingredients are and that It actually prevents bad odors without feeling heavy.
Absolutely love the feel, scent, and sweat/odor protection. It's just great!
Soft and smooth application, buildable and durable. Looks and feels lovely on my complexion.
