Mischo Beauty Pick: Naturally Fresh Deodorant Crystal

It's been a while since I've written about deodorants- kinda "TMI" right? Well, I'd been on the hunt for something natural- "free of aluminum, parabens and phthalates"- about a year or so ago, and happily settled on Tom's of Maine Natural Long-Lasting Deodorant Stick. Well most recently, I was given the opportunity to try Naturally Fresh's Roll-On & Spray Mist.

I'd always seen the brand in Whole Foods, with plans to try it, but never did... Well, I've been using it for a few weeks now and based on my normal day-to-day activities, it works for me and I do like the light scents. I haven't tested it while working out, so I won't comment on that. But if you're looking for a natural alternative, you should definitely consider it!

Mischo Beauty Product Review: Tom's of Maine Natural Long-Lasting Deodorant Stick

I've been using Tom's of Maine toothpaste for years now, and while it took a while to get used to (it doesn't contain artificial sweeteners), now I find that I won't use anything else! In an effort to make informed changes with my personal care products (isn't there a saying "when you know better, you should try to do better"- I'm guilty, but I'm trying!), I recently decided to search for a "natural" deodorant. I'd tried Tom's of Maine Natural Long-Lasting Deodorant Stick a few years ago with no luck and after that I went back to my regular brand. Well after visiting their website and learning that they'd "improved" the formula by adding an ingredient called "Hops" (which inhibits the growth of odor-causing bacteria) I decided to give it another try. I picked up the "Apricot" fragrance (love it!) and prepared myself to have it with me at all times so that I'd be able to freshen up throughout the day. Surprisingly, since I've started using it, I haven't had the need to reapply it! I know body chemistry varies, but I'd recommend it if you're searching for a natural deodorant.
