I can almost hear your voice in my own head… “A post on deodorant? Who is she kidding? How is this even supposed to be remotely interesting?”

I get it. A post on deodorant is frigging boring. And I wasn’t even going to do a post because it *is* deodorant and most people won’t care. But if you’re one of the few that did click through to read what one can only presume would be a boring post then I’m impressed, and boy, do I ever have something exciting to tell you.

Live Clean‘s deodorants are the *only* natural deodorant that has ever worked on me. I’ve tried some of the usual suspects (like Lavanila) but they’ve all done diddly squat and I’ve always gone back to wearing my antiperspirant on the daily. These though? Holy crap, did they ever work.

I was initially skeptical about switching over because you hear about that “detox” period where your body is getting rid of all of the build up from your antiperspirant, blah blah blah. So I went into this thinking that I was going to smell for a few days because of that. I even told a coworker I was switching to this and told her to tell me if she smelled me AT ALL (cuz heaven knows every office has someone who reeks and I did NOT want to be that person). I will admit that the first day I think I smelled (although my coworker said nothing), but it could’ve been the fabric of my shirt which wasn’t especially conducive to letting my skin breathe. But after that initial day? No problems. Seriously… no problems. I’ve been using this deodorant for two weeks now and I’m absolutely blown away.

Of course, since a deodorant is a more gelatinous substance when compared to a white antiperspirant, I do find that sometimes my pits are a touch damp/slick every now and then, but I think that’s mostly just upon application. I’m sitting here typing up this review after a full work day and a workout at the gym, and my pits are completely dry nor do I smell. I also went for a 13k run this past weekend and didn’t smell nor sweat profusely from my pits during that run either. To say I’m impressed would be an understatement!

So if you’ve been looking to switch away from your antiperspirant but found all the other natural deodorant did nothing for you, then I would STRONGLY suggest you take a look at the Live Clean deodorants. I’ve got a whack of antiperspirants in my cupboard, but once those are used up I’m going to be switching over to Live Clean deodorants for everything except the utmost of physical exertions (like running a race, or hiking, or something where I need to be dry for like 24 hours straight).

For those who are interested in the actual ingredients, there’s corn starch to absorb the moisture, as well as baking soda, aloe and vitamin E. There are no aluminium cholorhydrate, propylene glycol, phthalates, parabens, silicone, phosphates, triclosan, petrolatum, dyes or colouring in the formula. The ingredients are 99% naturally derived!

My favourite scent was the aquatic scented Cool & Fresh, with the Sparkling Citrus as a close runner up. There’s also a Powder Clean scent for those who want to smell like baby powder (gag, not me thanks), as well as an unscented version.

Live Clean deodorants can be purchased on well.ca for $7.79 CAD each.
