Lavanila - The Healthy Deodorant. Aluminum-Free, Vegan, Clean, and Natural - Vanilla + Water: For Peace 2 oz

This is my favorite Lavanila scent! I have been using Lavanila deodorant on and off for years, but not every scent works for me. The one I've had the best luck with is the plain Pure Vanilla, but, frankly, the aroma of vanilla can be tricky in Arizona armpits. Lavanila deodorants have a very strong aroma, which is probably one of the reasons they are effective. Since deodorants do not inhibit sweating, you have to hope their fragrance keeps the sweat from smelling bad. Sometimes the odor of deodorant mixed with sweat can be worse than the smell of sweat alone (as happens with, unfortunately, Vanilla Grapefruit and Vanilla Coconut. My husband asked me never to use either again). If you are familiar with Lavanila deodorants you know that some of the formulas are creamy (Pure Vanilla, Vanilla Lavender, Vanilla Blackberry), and others are more gel-like, and transmit a cooling feeling upon application (Sport Luxe). Vanilla + Earth has the gel-like "cooling" feeling of Sport Luxe, and I love it. Vanilla + Earth smells of vanilla and patchouli, but it's lightweight and subtle. Don't let the "patchouli" scare you...this is a fluffy, almost-minty patchouli. The "vanilla" in this particular formula is very different from the caramelized Pure Vanilla. Vanilla + Earth is cool and effervescent, and it's glorious on hot days. This gets me through my yoga and ballet classes smelling fresh and clean all day long. Too bad Lavanila doesn't make this scent in perfume.

I have breast cancer so have become very conscious of products I use on my body. I started using this about 8 months ago - in the middle of Texas summer. I almost gave up on it because it did not seem to control odor at all and I couldn't stand myself. But after about 2 weeks, I noticed the BO went away. Apparently your body has to get rid of the aluminum salts in antiperspirants and then this stuff can do it's job. It does not stop you from perspiring but it does emits a clean vanilla fragrance that's not over powering. It's all I use now. Maybe best to start using it in winter for a first time user!

I had really high hopes for this deodorant since I wanted to switch to naturals. I gave it a chance because I kept reading that with natural deodorant, there's a "detox" period where your body flushes itself from from all the aluminum from your armpits. I even went so far to get an armpit detox scrub to make the process go faster. However, it didn't work at all and the detox period is a MYTH that I promptly found out after some research online, even if all the natural deodorant companies say there's a detox period. I got more sweaty and I got stinky after a few hours of wear.I'm also an anxious sweater, so this was not for me. I feel like my own sweat washed it all off in about an hour, even if I applied 20 layers of the deodorant. The smell (I got the Water scent) was AMAZING but did not last. Maybe it works for people who don't sweat, but this is not for me. Big sad

I don't normally write reviews but I feel like I should say that I went looking for a deodorant that was natural and healthier than drug store brands. This particular deodorant made my underarms break out in red, pimple-like blisters ALL over. It smells ok. Not particularly good, not bad either. Was fine with it until I literally could not wear tank tops anymore due to the breakouts. I had to switch back to dove and upon switching breakouts immediately went away. I don't have any known ingredient allergies. But I had a terrible reaction to this. Beware!

This is truly one of my favorite products. I bought Vanilla Air which had a very mild fragrance. Once it goes on you don’t really smell any fragrance. That can be a positive. If you do like a little scent to linger, Vanilla Eucalyptus has a very clean fragrance that lasts longer. I love this brand beyond all the other natural deodorants out there — and I’ve tried a lot. Even the container is so much easier to use than those cardboard ones. Glides on smooth, no lumps in the product like other natural deodorants. Women of a certain age (menopausal), if antiperspirants no longer work for you, this is the product to get. No more smelly underarms ...and you stay pretty dry too.

I love Lavanila deodorant. It's my go-to deodorant, and has been for years. Their Vanilla & Earth scent smells just as good as you would imagine. It's not an overly processed chemical clean scent. It's a lot more natural, as the name hints at. The best part about this specific scent is that it doesn't turn sour or bad by the end of the day on me, and continues to work.---As usual with the Lavanila products, I do try to apply at least twice in the morning: once to allow the deodorant to be absorbed into my skin, and then a second time to make sure it's long lasting. I also apply the deodorant once at night. This method has kept me clean smelling (again) for years. People tell me I smell good all the time! It just works.

My favorite scent so sad it’s hard to find now! It’s very light and not super vanilla or anything distracting. Dermatologist suggested I try this as my switch to healthier formulations wasn’t going well. This works most of the day but I’d reapply for evening. After my body adjusted to using natural deodorant I would say this product does a really good job compared to Native or other pastes I tried but you need to start with a clean body and reapply in the evening depending on how much sweating and “stewing” your body has done.Wish they use less plastic and offered a refillable option. Have repurchased and used for several months.

i've finally found a good natural deodorant. they perfected the consistency with easy glide on and they have nice scents. i found "vanilla spring" in winners and like the smell of it as well as this "vanilla earth" scent. the nice container and design attracted me. i will continue to buy all the other scents from this company, very glad to have found them!

If you want to try natural deodorant this is the brand!! It smells amazing, goes on like normal deodorant and prevents BO. Not like those other natural deodorants that feel wet and done hide odour.

Love the smell..soft and sweet

Nice products.Thank you.

For some time now I've been looking for a natural deodorant product that was free of chemical nasties and potentially harmful pore-blocking aluminium salts, but still actually WORKED! At last, in this product, I've found what I've been looking for. The stick-style delivery system is easy to use and the product itself is quite quick to dry. It has a pleasant smell, and its deodorising effect is long-lasting, even under the pressure of exercise and cramped Tube rides! Of course, it is a deodorant, and not an antiperspirant, which means if you're specifically looking for something to keep you dry, keep looking. But if you're looking for something that helps you feel and smell fresh, whilst allowing your pores to breathe, letting your body to detox naturally and minimising your toxic load, this could be for you.
