mineralized deodorant product review
Long Story Short:
I was pleasantly surprised by this Mineralized Deodorant. Every deodorant brand out there claims that their product leaves no residue and yet they ALWAYS do. This is the first natural deodorant that truly leaves no residue. It has replaced my previous deodorant and I am excited for them to launch a scented version soon.
mineralized deodorant product highlights:
- Food quality ingredients
- Free of carbon petrochemicals, plastics, parabens, and phthalates
- Free from aluminum, baking soda
- Vegan
- Gluten-free
- Cruelty-free
- Free of any greasy, waxy or gooey residue
*They also have a 30-day returnless refund which I think is a pretty big highlight. Basically, you can buy it, try it for 30 days, and if you don’t like it they will just refund you, no need to even send the product back. Couldn’t be easier or more risk-free.

my experience:
I was surprised at how well this works! I know I’ve said it before, but I just get so excited when I find a product that is non-toxic and effective. The best part about this Mineralized Deodorant? It literally leaves no residue. Honestly. For me, that’s reason enough alone to get it. All of the ingredients have a “1” rating on the EWG site which means they are super clean and non-toxic.
I did notice I had a few smellier days and it didn’t seem to quite cover the smell. I message Mineralized Deodorant on Instagram and they quickly responded with some potential reasons why.
Turns out I wasn’t applying enough of it, but once I start applying more it worked great! I’ve been using it for a little over a month now and plan on continuing to use it!
They currently only have one option which is unscented. Perfect for those who are extremely sensitive, but they are coming out with a scented version soon! I’ll have to update you all when they do. Let’s cross our fingers it’s naturally scented! You can read my article on why I avoid products with “fragrance” listed in their ingredients list here.
I also love that I can put the applicator directly inside the can and take this with me anywhere. It won’t melt in my purse or bag and I can easily reapply whenever needed.
Lastly, I have to point out again that they have a 30-day returnless policy which I have never actually seen! Can we all give them a round of applause for a moment here? That truly demonstrates how sincerely they want you to be happy with their products and I appreciate that.
How I Discovered mineralized deodorant:
Mineralized Deodorant actually reached out through Instagram and offered to send their product to try and I have to say a HUGE thank you! I may have received a free product, but I am now a return customer who will continue to buy this for a long time to come.
