What owners single out
Buyers' weakest aspect—skin sensitivity—directly echoes the critic concern about ingredients, with one long-term user reporting immediate irritation post-reformulation.
In their words
“I having been using natural deodorants for a few years and I have never found one that was perfect, until I started using this one. Compared to other high end deodorants, like Malin+Goetz, this one wins hands down. It goes on clear, doesn’t show up on clothes, smells good, and lasts for hours. I impulse bought it a pharmacy near me and will be using this as long as they make it. Truly 10/10 !!!”

“Have worn this deodorant exclusively for the last 10 years. The herbal ingredients that were gentle on sensitive skin drew me in, and kept me as a customer. No longer. After the reformula, my pits immediately break out stinging, red, and irritated within minutes of application. Total fail AVOID”
