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.
