Effective but not natural.,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Arm & Hammer Essentials Natural Deodorant, Unscented - 2.5 Oz, 4 Pack (Health and Beauty)
I purchased this product because wanted a natural alternative to regular deodorant. The good news is that it works well. The bad news is that it isn't natural at all; it contains a Triclosan, a synthetic wide spectrum biocide. Triclosan can degrade to dioxin and chloroform gas. I guess I still have to choose between stinky pits or a carcinogen-free house.

Not so natural, not so great.,
By Nicole Machi (Bass Lake, CA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Arm & Hammer Essentials Natural Deodorant, Unscented - 2.5 Oz, 4 Pack (Health and Beauty)
Unfortunately I didn't read the review about this product containing tricolsan until AFTER I made the purchase. I wish I had because reading about the possible effects of triclosan was enough to send me straight back to my aluminum deodorant. (At least until I realized I had 4 of these and hate to waste.) Aluminum is scary, but not quite AS scary. Be warned if you're trying to do something healthy for your body, and research a bit before you decide.
If I disregard the health aspect, I would say this deodorant is alright. I started using it in winter, and the first few times I was relaxing on the couch with my arms up I had to ask my roommate if she had been cleaning- it smelled like Orange Glo wood cleaner. It took a bit to realize it was my armpits smelling like cleaner. There are a few plant oils in this product, but the orange peel oil definitely overpowers them. Its not a smell I particularly care for, but if I put the deodorant on before bed, the scent has mostly dissipated for the next day. I was pretty happy with it in winter, but since summer has hit, I've noticed I am a lot wetter than previous years, and I smell a bit worse. Since summer is going to get about 30 degrees hotter I am not excited to have so much of this. The bad pit smell isn't too bad yet, but the difference in wetness is quite substantial. I'll probably save the rest of this product for the winter when wetness and odor isn't a big issue, and I definitely won't be buying it again unless a triclosan-free version comes out.

The Deodorant I've Been Looking For!(And you have too?),
This review is from: Arm & Hammer Essentials Natural Deodorant, Unscented - 2.5 Oz, 4 Pack (Health and Beauty)
After becoming more conscious of the chemicals and compounds we come into contact with daily I decided to search for products that are effective and have a smaller chance of giving me cancer or some exotic disease through repetitive use. I have an active lifestyle working outside and I enjoy long-distance running so I'm a demanding customer.
The first place I looked was Tom's of Maine since I enjoy their flouride free toothpaste. This particular natural deodorant didn't smell very good to begin with and it smelled horrendous by the end of the day after it blended with my natural odor. Sorry Tom you lose this round. I researched a little further and found Arm & Hammer Essentials. After 3 months of using this I find it to be very effective. With just one application in the morning I have had no problems with unpleasant odors no matter how hard I put it to the test. It also goes on clear and has a comfortable texture. To be honest I haven't had an aluminum based deodorant ever be this satisfying. Use it and forget about it, unless your telling a friend the merits of the natural way! I will continue to use this product as long as it's offered and I highly recommend it.
