Thai Deodorant StonePure and Natural Crystal Mini Stick, 2.125 Ounce

I've been paying a lot more for another natural deodorant that worked very well and had very clever commercials but decided to give this a try. I'm surprised! It actually works. It's easy to use, just run water over the top and apply. Dries quickly, and leaves no residue, no odor, nothing. From what I'm reading in these reviews, it lasts forever, so that's money saved. A win-win!

Like others here, I was a bit skeptical about this purchase, which is why i purchased the small size. A long time back, I had this white rock-like thing supposedly made of salt and supposedly served well as a deodorant... well that did not work. I was really hoping that this would not have a similar outcome. HAPPILY, it was not like the salt rock, and it works amazingly ... through yard work, house work, exercise, humidity and heat, you name it. The positive reviews here win hands down, (and arms down and up?). Easy to use, just run under warm water and apply. The skin and the stick dry quickly and I am good to go!UPDATE: Sep 15, 2016I purchased the small size just a little over 1 year ago, and it is almost the same size as when I purchased it! The product is amazingly effective and I HIGHLY RECOMMEND it! When I first purchased the product, there was no information about it on EWG's Skin Deep Database. I checked today, and it is now cataloged in their database. It has a rating of 1 - just about as safe as you can get! Here is the link so that you can check it out. ([...])Only 1 piece of advice - the product has two small holes on the bottom of the container to allow the product to dry after it has been used. In order to apply it, you have to slip the stick under running water very briefly - maybe 10 seconds at most. Well the crystal dissolves ever so slightly and releases through these aeration holes, leaving a slight residue under the container. If you set it back in the same place each day, the crystal residue will collect and it is difficult to remove. If it is on a wooden shelf, it will cause slight damage to the wood. To remedy this situation, I placed mine in a votive candle holder and the problem is solved. With that minor issue out of the way, the product is absolutely perfect!!!!

I’ve been using it for 4 weeks now And it’s works great. It doesn’t leave any residue like normal deodorant. Keep in mind that the first three weeks Switching to a natural deodorant, your body may detox But I had no issue. Also, I work in a blue-collar job and sweat a lot.

I bought these small stones for travel, hoping that the plastic cover would be more durable. It's not. You can actually only screw the cover on so tight before it "jumps" the threads and needs to be re-tightened VERY GENTLY. In other words, not confidence-inspiring. This is also made of the brittle type of plastic that does not age well and will surely break if dropped...so be careful handling these.Ironically, I got these because they are small and lightweight, which makes them harder to hold onto! The stones are excellent and are the only deodorant we ever use, but the cheapo plastic they all seem to come in doesn't do them justice as the stones last many years longer than the case they come in.

I like it as it is long lasting and seems to work but recently read that these natural alum deodorants contain aluminum.Per Doctor Mercola's website:While many claim to be aluminum-free, they are referring to aluminum chlorohydrate, aluminum chloride, aluminum hydroxybromide or aluminum zirconium.The aluminum in crystal deodorant stones is a different type of compound known as an alum, the most common form being potassium alum, also known as potassium aluminum sulfate.Potassium Alum or Ammonium Alum are natural mineral salts made up of molecules that are too large to be absorbed by your skin. They form a protective layer on your skin that inhibits the growth of odor-causing bacteria. These deodorants are recommended by many cancer treatment centers.But while this may be a better alternative to most antiperspirants and deodorants on the market, it is not completely aluminum-free.So factor that in to your decision making.

Hard to believe that a stone stick can keep you from smelling, but it does. As advertised, for 24 hours. If your expect a scent, you'll be disappointed because there is none. But, that is fine with me. And it last for over a year.

The pictures are misleading

I have extremely sensitive underarms and break out in eczema with normal deodorant, natural deodorant and homemade deoderant using baking soda and coconut oil. Not only that, but most natural deoderants just don't get the job done, in my opinion. I always have to reapply halfway through the day, removing the previous application. This stick, however, is incredible at preventing all odor, and has some serious staying power. I use it once a day, immediately after the shower to wet underarms about 60 swipes per side, and do not need to reapply in the morning. It is actually amazing. Zero sensitivities, and for the first time in YEARS my underarms look perfect 😭 couldn't be happier. Excellent value.
