Lush Aromaco and Coconut Deodorant

Dixie

Does anyone besides me have a problem with finding a deodorant that works consistently, all the time? My body seems to have this weird quick that after a period of time the antiperspirant/deodorant I wear on a daily basis, no matter what brand or how strong, eventually stops working. I don't know if it gets used to the chemicals in the formula or if my body chemistry periodically changes, but every brand I've ever used has eventually failed me.

Over the course of my teens years and adulthood, I have tried literally every store brand, a few health food store brands, and even the roll-on formula by Shaklee. Actually, the Shaklee formula was the best one, working for a full two years before going down in a cloud of sweat.

Dashed on the Rocks: The Body Shop's DeoDry Deodorant

Figgy

Oh woe is me, sadness in all things, the world is dark and there are seas of tears because The Body Shop has let me down for the first time. Why must there be such pain the world? Why must this deodorant stick exist and ruin my unshakable faith in thee, Body Shop?

But shake it it did, because this thing is kind of crap.

I had high hopes for it, both because it's from my new favorite store and because along with all of its products it boasts plenty of good things: Paraben free, not tested on animals, no aluminum salts (I guess that's a good thing?) and had "Volcanic mineral" (Holy crap, that sounds fancy!) and essential oils. And it smelled nice, like roses.
