Salt of the Earth - Natural Deodorant Spray - Unscented 100ml

When I casually mentioned to my mother-in-law that I had switched to a natural deodorant, she looked at me with an expression of utter, unadulterated bewilderment. It was as if I’ve just confessed to rubbing freshly picked stinging nettles into my underarms, followed by a thick sealant of damp garden compost to plug up my ever-leaking pores. But I had no choice. You see, I am cursed with incredibly sensitive skin and a sulfate allergy. For years, applying standard, supermarket-shelf deodorant was less of a grooming routine and more of a biological assault. My armpits would itch, flare up uncomfortably, and turn bright red. It was a vicious, miserable cycle; I had to continue using the stuff to avoid smelling like a medieval peasant, yet the product itself was actively punishing me with its cocktail of harsh chemicals. And then, I had an epiphany. A sudden, blinding moment of absolute clarity where I sat up and thought: “Life does not need to be this painful.” I did some proper research and discovered this: Salt of the Earth. Mother of God, it has resolved every single one of my issues. Let's start with the scent—Amber and Sandalwood. It is fantastic. It doesn't smell like an industrial cleaning fluid; it smells warm, rich, and deeply civilized. But the real miracle is the engineering under the bonnet. It keeps me completely dry, and my skin has finally called a ceasefire. No itching, no redness, and absolutely zero soreness. It turns out you don't need a laboratory-worth of aluminum and sulfates to stop perspiration; you just need a bit of natural brilliance. In terms of value for money, it is spectacular. This is a refill bottle, and a meager 100ml has easily lasted me over four weeks of daily, rigorous use. It just keeps on going, long after standard aerosols would have run out of gas and given up the ghost. If you are currently suffering through the daily torment of standard deodorants, stop what you are doing and buy this immediately. It could be your moment of clarity, too.

I won’t lie, I’m shocked with how well this worked. I usually use a different brands’ deodorant stick but found that it wasn’t holding up too well in these summer months. I found this while scrolling and thought I’d give it a go and I cannot recommend it ENOUGH! It holds up really well in these summer months. It’s not sticky and smells great. So happy I’ve found a natural deodorant that really holds up well. I will say, I haven’t tried it while doing extensive exercise but I’m pretty confident it’ll hold up pretty well :)

I bought this on the 13th October 2015 and am reviewing it only now, on the 24th January 2017, so you know I gave it a real go and a proper test before writing out this 100% honest, non-sponsored review. The product lasted me roughly six months of three sprays on each armpit (so six sprays in total) once daily, which is the equivalent of about 1100 puffs/sprays per bottle. The packaging is super cute and sturdy, as well as recyclable: it's made out of plastic. The writing on the label is light-reflective and it makes it quite easily readable. The size of the bottle is interesting - it's more of a wide than a tall deodorant, feels more like a stick deodorant type of bottle, even though this product is definitely spray! Addressing the smell - firstly the sellers claim "fresh natural fragrance: the prettiest lavender & vanilla scent" - you can definitely smell the lavender, you cannot smell any vanilla. The smell is strong and takes some time to get use to. Initially I did not like the smell, but I liked the way the deodorant felt on my skin, so I persevered with it and to be honest I think in about a week I began to not mind it and in about two weeks began to like it. You definitely cannot wear any sort of perfume with this deodorant, otherwise the smell will clash in a very noticeable way. So you do get going with it, but initially its an unpleasant smell shock to the system. The next claim from the sellers is "Long lasting protection: Pure Aura's active deodorant ingredient rests on the surface of your skin providing you with protection that lasts longer". This one is definitely true. When I spay it in the morning - around 7 am, I can still smell it around noon and although by now odourless, I can still feel its protecting me from sweating around six in the evening. So it definitely last for an entire work day at the office, which is what I really want from my deodorant (I really dislike having to "top up" in the toilet, like I have to with some of the other natural deodorants). A third claim is the "no white marks on favourite clothes". This one is also 100% true. This deodorant comes in an almost milk like consistency - albeit it its transparent - and does not leave any white either on your skin or any type of clothes. However, and to me this is a big however, because it is so runny, if you're wearing a top or a dark coloured bra the deodorant will stain your clothing by making it seem "wet". So if your tee is blue, it'll look dark wet blue. If you're bra is gray it'll look dark wet gray. As if you've just taken these to the sink and splashed water onto them. Sadly, the stain does no go away as the deodorant is made of oils (rather than purely water) and these stains stick to the material until you machine wash your garment. I cannot verify the claims that the deodorant is "Made with Organic Aloe Vera" and "100% Natural Ingredients" as I dont have a laboratory to test these - so I'll have to take the sellers word on it. I can tell you from experience it is indeed " Safe on younger skin too" and it looks like it is "No harsh chemicals for sensitive underarms", because I have very sensitive skin and this deodorant has not made me scratch, itch, burn or any other unpleasant sensation on my armpits. Nor has it made me break out in a rash or leave my skin red and sore. Finally, I love the fact that it is "Suitable for Vegetarians and Vegans. Not Tested on Animals." - shows that this company really is taking it's business sustainability seriously. Overall, don't think I'll be re-purchasing, but definitely don't mind having given it a go. I truly think this is a product that you have to test out for yourself to see if it's suitable - some of you will love it, some of you will dislike it and both are OK, because we have different requirements of our deodorants and each deodorant reacts differently with our bodies, skin and bacteria living on it. So give it a go - even if you're not super pleased, you wont be wholeheartedly disappointed! P.S. Hope you enjoy the pictures.

You can always leave me a comment to this review and I'll endeavour to answers asap. Have a lovely day :)

As it was cheaper than my usual Pit Rok unscented deodorant, I thought I’d try this Salt of the Earth deodorant instead. In the recent hot weather it has worked really well and kept bad odours at bay all day. I think it is more effective than the Pit Rok deodorant. But don’t forget this is a deodorant only and does not prevent sweating. I would definitely buy again.

Okay! This deodorant is really cool because of how its vegan and its just really amazing with what they are trying to do to help those who try to remain away from the more common products and companies, and for those who suffer with sensitive skin it seems like a good thing! However, after a while of using it, I have to be honest. The scent? Pure bliss, its beautiful. Its such a nice scent and it makes the whole room light up a little bit which gave me a whole lot of confidence however it doesnt really seem to do much in some respects Does it stop you from sweating? No because its made to have your natural sweat come through, just making it not stinky, which they happily explain in the description of the product! Does it last long? Nope. It remained for about an hour before it would wear off, which was a little embarrassing especially when you begin to realise you stink, you're in public and you can't really do much about it other than hope nobody can smell it Does it have natural ingredients? Yes! They even explain what does what on there which really gave me confidence. However. When I wore it after a few weeks I started to notice this weird pain in my underarms that was persisting for ages. It then turned into a major horrific rash because sadly im allergic to something or other in it. Is it made for sensitive skin? Not really I feel, because I'm someone who has sensitive skin and like I said I can out in a bad rash which didn't go away for a few weeks D: I'd like to mention, I do actually reccomend the product because my skin is not your skin, and you may not even have a hint of issues, and it is a really good company that cares, but I just wanted to share my experience so others can know about it. Just make sure you keep it on you to top it when you need it :D Oh and do a skin test first! I'd say wear your normal deodorant, but before you plonk it on add just a bit for like a week to see how it fairs with your skin, sometimes its happy with something and then it isn't. Bottom line is, company good, was it for me? No, could it be for you? Maybe!

Will be buying again. Its nice and none toxic. Just a daft idea to buy refills as they do this to save on plastic for the environment, But the refills come in plastic too. The thoughts there but it just ain't right idea. Nice spray though and will be buying again.

I got this for my son as wanted something fragrence free. It works perfect , not drying and no smell from anyone that uses it.

I’ve had all my lymph nodes removed from under one arm and my skin has become very sensitive. My usual gentle deodorant is now itching and burning. I thought I’d give this a try. It stops any itching and burning but doesn’t keep me dry at all, I can also still detect a feint BO smell sometimes. I am very keen on keeping clean and wash in the middle of the day and reapply to try and help. It’s not awful and it is very gentle and kind on the skin so I may purchase a refill because there aren’t many alternatives. I am also glad it is in spray form because I’m really not keen on stick deodorants. Ok so I have been using this for a couple of weeks now so I have changed my review to 5 stars! I find that one spray is enough and I spread it around by kind of flapping my arms and smooshing them backwards and forwards to spread it around. It dries this way and will actually last 24 hours. I shower in the evening, sleep, don’t reapply the next day and it lasts till I shower again that night! It’s great!!

Came with no lid, so looked like it was used before

My daughter really likes this product. It has a light scent and is a spray pump. It lasts the day for her, as an active young lady.

This is good even for men. Even when sweat & under hot weather, u won't be stink like other flavor of this brand.. Do not buy those coconut or men's flavor..

I was mostly looking for a deodorant but something that didn't make my skin dry! This product is not only natural but ny skin feels very soft! Really like this product!

Goed product! Ruikt lekker en subtiel.
