7 natural deodorants that actually work
Crystal Invisible Solid Deodorant Lavender & White Tea
From the makers of the classic aluminum-free deodorant (it’s also available in a chunky “crystal” form) comes this redesigned product in a stick. It’s made without aluminum, chlorohydrate, parabens, zirconium or artificial dyes—ingredients often found in conventional products. While the Lavender & White Tea scent sounded wonderful, it smelled more saccharine than floral.
Experience: The texture is similar to a firm gel, which left no flakes or white streaks on my clothing. It pleasantly glided over my skin, making it a cinch to quickly use.
Efficacy: In my case, the “24 hour” call-out on the front of the package wasn’t accurate. It lasted for about six hours, and then my mom told me I smelled. And moms don’t lie.
SRP: $5.79
Recommend to a friend? I probably wouldn’t recommend this product to a friend, but I do appreciate Crystal’s heritage as an original natural deodorant. And I’m sure Crystal works wonderfully on others. Perhaps it’s just not for me.
