Stank You

I have mostly used some kind of more “natural” deodorant for as long as I can remember. I think since I was in high school and heard about some connection between aluminum in deodorant and Alzheimer’s. There used to not be that many options, but now there are plenty. In considering what deodorant to buy when my last one ran out, I realized there are a lot of options when it comes to more natural ingredients, but actually not a lot of options when you are trying to reduce waste (i.e. plastic packaging in this case). So…cardboard containers! Yay! Thank you! I did a little online shopping and these are the two I decided to try. One for me and one for my husband. So far, so good on both of them. We both think they work and smell really good. The only cautionary statement I would say about the one I use (black rogue) is that it kind of acts like a regular white solid deodorant, in that you should be careful not to get it on your clothes (e.g. black or dark colors in particular). I also think I might put on too much sometimes. According to the instructions, you don’t need a lot. And because of the color with a slight charcoal tinge, it kind of looks grayish on your skin if you have applied it multiple times in a day…so not exactly flattering with tank tops. I do like the smell and feel but I think when this runs out, I might try one without the charcoal.
