As you know from quite a few of my previous posts. Our family is trying to simplify our lives with more natural products. I definitely wouldn’t consider us granola or eco-friendly fanatics, but, rather, just “kinda crunchy”. If I find a more eco-friendly, natural alternative to a product I currently use, I like to give it a try and see if it works for me and my family. We’ve switched many of our household chemical based cleaners, to naturally derived cleaners. We use cloth diapers and cloth pull-ups for our boys. So, then what about our own (my husband’s and mine) personal care?
Hmm…I’ve considered before switching to some more natural products, but remember, I’m only “kinda crunchy”. That means I can still be hesitant to try a more natural alternative that will, in the long run, probably be healthier for me. Well, I took the plunge. Okay, I admit, it wasn’t anything major, rather it was simple, easy, inexpensive, etc.
The Husband and I started using some of the Naturally Fresh product line including, Naturally Fresh- Crystal Fragrance Free Roll-On Deodorant. Naturally Fresh- Crystal Roll-on Deodorant is “100% pure and natural, freeing your body of harmful toxins found in conventional deodorants and antiperspirants, making them safe for the entire family.” *Let me just make a little note that, though there is really no conclusive research that antiperspirants are harmful to your body, this is one of those things where I’d rather be safe and simply not use something that could be harmful.
Most of you have heard of deodorant rocks or deodorant crystals, right? Well, Naturally Fresh- Crystal Roll-on Deodorant is the convenient roll-on version of those. What did we think of Naturally Fresh?
I’d never really used a roll-on deodorant before. I had to get used to the wet feeling when putting it on, but that didn’t take very long. I tend to sweat a lot under my arms even when I’m not being physically active. I find that the deodorizing effects last about half a day for me. Then, if I want to be stink free, I need to reapply. The same is true of the Naturally Fresh Deodorant Crystal which we are also using. The Husband, on the other hand, can go all day and not have to reapply. He smells nice and fresh at the end of the day. –That’s not fair, he’s a man! Shouldn’t that be the other way around?– I love, though that it does not irritate my underarms like my other deodorant with antiperspirant does! As a note for those undergoing cancer treatment, in reading the Naturally Fresh testimonial page I found out that oncologists frequently recommend Naturally Fresh Deodorant to cancer patients undergoing radiation because it reduces the chances of a skin reaction.
Naturally Fresh also makes several other products including their deodorant is spray form and wide stick, foot spray–it’s a natural foot deodorizer that helps fight and protect against athletes foot– and lip balm. We haven’t yet had occasion to try the foot spray, but this will come in handy during the summer months when I like to wear my shoes without socks. 🙂
The Naturally Fresh Deodorant Crystal Roll-On is now available at several retailers including at Walmart for only $2.97! That is super inexpensive for an all natural deodorant.
