ARM & HAMMER Essentials Deodorant- Unscented- Solid Oval- Made with Natural Deodorizers- Free From Aluminum, Parabens & Phthalates, 2.5 Oz

Is just what it says it is.

I absolutely love this deodorant so much and here's why:Not to be too graphic, but I'm a female and of course I want to smell good all the time. I always sweat! It can be freezing cold and my armpits sweat. Or if I even think of something that makes me nervous it's like Niagra Falls in my armpits. Not only that, but when I sweat there's definitely an odor. I used to have a lot of deodorants that had the flowery, perfumy smells and they worked, but it mixed with my b.o. and my clothes reeked! I don't know why, but it's very unattracted--even if it's only me who notices. Sometimes it would just mix with my sweat and my armpits had this combination of pleasant, yet funky smell and the more I thought about it, the more I sweat. So you can see the frustrating cycle.I'm trying to use more natural products and I bought the Thai crystal spray that's all natural. I tried it, and it didn't stop the sweating (which was ok, because it's natural) but it did NOTHING for the odor. I was dissapointed because I really wanted it to work. Although it did work for my sister-in-law, but just not for me. Then I went back to regular deodorants and didn't like the stains, the aluminum and all the other crap that it caused and had in it.I found this and figured I had nothing to lose. OH MY GOSH! I bought this one with no scent, but it has a very slight, extremely pleasant scent that I love. It doesn't completely stop the sweating, but I have noticed I don't sweat as much. My armpits don't produce any odor---NONE! Even after running and even my clothes smell great. I just can't get over the fact that I don't have any b.o. and I'm even happier that it doesn't contain aluminum!! I think my armpits are even turning lighter (I suffer from dark underarms). I can't say enough for Arm & Hammer deodorant. Definitely give it a try!!UPDATE: well as much as I liked this product in the beginning, I no longer us it. I have about more than 3/4 of it just sitting underneath my sink. If you are lucky and don't have any body odor (something that I'm constantly aware of when I sweat) then it would work perfectly fine--for me I think my body got used to the smell and so it didn't work as well as in the beginning. I actually switched over to a clinical strength deodorant (although it leaves white marks) I don't see that I will change deodorants in the future.

I was concerned about this product since I’ve normally used Old Spice deodorant yet wanted to get away from the aluminum and other scents, basically the stuff that I found out is toxic for the body. I tried this and wow am I happily surprised! It is not a solid but also doesn’t give you a sticky gross feeling under your arms, and after a full day including sweating I don’t smell of BO at all. There is a very slight mild scent, and I mean very slight when I state this. I highly recommend you at least trying this out.

Better than most natural deodorants! I'm a bit of a funky guy, so finding a good deodorant is essential. I've tried a lot of natural products, and this is great. Better than almost all - but there are a few niche natural deodorant companies that make better products. However, the good natural deodorants are now well over ten dollars, which is just goofy. I think for the bang:buck, there's no better natural deodorant out there. There is if you're okay with spending six times as much per stick.It has a strong smell for being unscented, but it's clean and fresh smelling. I have really sensitive skin, and I have not shown any sensitivity to this product.Tip: I still use good ol' aluminum deodorant once or twice a week. That can help keep the funk away, if you're looking to go more natural, and keep the beast under control.

I struggle with deodorants/antiperspirants. I've been through all the major brands and some of the lesser ones. I decided I would try something more natural after the last major brand failure. Once I started looking at some "best of" lists and looking at prices on Amazon and other places, I just couldn't bring myself to spend more than $12 on a stick of deodorant. Then I found the Arm & Hammer on a "best of" list and found it for $1.88 on Amazon, I had to try it!I've been using it during the hot and muggy July/August Ohio Valley summer, as well as a trip to the beach...in August. I have to say I am very satisfied so far. Most days there has been no wetness, in extreme conditions just a slight damp feeling. But, there has been absolutely no odor!!!!The product is a gel solid. It does go on a bit rough, especially at first, bit it covers well. I bought the unscented variety, but it does have a slight citrus scent due to the natural ingredients (but I found it quite pleasant).

I was disappointed by the effectiveness of this deodorant. I'm in shape and not a smelly guy to begin with so I thought using this would be a great way to prevent yellow stains on white t-shirts and undershirts because it's aluminum-free. I did a little research on aluminum-free deodorants and read the reviews on this one and it seemed like it'd be a good choice. To my dismay, this product only lasts a couple hours and by lunch time it's effects have worn off and I work at an office job where I'm sitting 99% of the time. Up until lunch it worked and smelled great though. After about a week of using this product it irritated my underarms and it hurt to have my arms down by my side. This was a first for me because my skin is not very sensitive and I've never had any kind of trouble like this from various other deodorants. I had to switch back to my old deodorant and trash this one. You should save yourself the trouble and probably pass on this one.

Love that it's aluminum free. Keeps me from having body odor but it doesn't stop the sweat which I didn't expect it would.
