Description: Our completely natural underarm cream is a simple recipe that is safe, effective and will leave you smelling fresh all day. Organic coconut oil combined with baking soda is antibacterial with a sweet and pleasing aroma. Arrowroot powder and clay will help to keep you dry. To use, gently rub a dime-sized amount into each armpit with your fingertips (don't push hard, those pits are sensitive!).
I adore the packaging, the fun label design and colours and glass jar. Although, glass is never travel friendly in my books. That being said, the texture is so creamy that it would be easy to scoop some into a small container for travelling. The scent is lovely! I love the coconut lavender aroma that hits my nose as soon I open the jar, and how well it lasts throughout most of the day. This deodorant does contain baking soda but only irritates my underarms a little and only in one area, the crease. Sounds sexy doesn't it? Basically the fold, if that makes any sense. It's chock full of nourishing ingredients like organic coconut oil, jojoba oil, and shea butter. It keeps me stink free almost all day, however, towards the evening I can definitely smell BO shining through. On a super hot or active day, I need to reapply mid-day. It works the best when applied to a freshly washed underarm and the irritation is even less when I apply a bit of the NBW Healing Balm or alternate with a baking soda free (Aubrey Men's) deo. Also, I want to note that a little goes a very long way. I've had this jar for 2+ months and haven't even used half of it. Of all the cream deodorants that I have tried, this one has been my favourite because of the fact that it doesn't irritate my underarms as much as others.
Retails for $15.99 CDN for 68 g. Can be purchased through Meow Meow Tweet, Well.ca, and any of these retailers.

I haven't tried this one, but it sounds lovely. I really struggle to find a natural deodorant that will keep the BO at bay all day long on a hot day; I think it's just too much to ask for something made with natural ingredients, so I never mind reapplying.
ReplyDeleteI have to agree with you. What natural deodorants have you been enjoying?
DeleteI am sensitive to baking soda too. One that I bought on Etsy actually was really good and didn't irritate at all but I'm currently using one from Routine and its not working well on my underarms...I get what you mean about the crease! This sounds better though...do they have many other scents?
ReplyDeleteboo to being sensitive to baking soda. What was the one from etsy? Sadly, this one only comes in lavender and tea tree.
DeleteI have yet to find one that lasts all day, but I do have some luck with using Erbaviva Lemon & Sage Deodorant (a spray deodorant) followed by Primal Pit Paste. It's kind of annoying to have to apply two every morning but I guess I'd rather do that then go back to non-organic.
ReplyDeleteLayering seems to be the thing to do for all day protection with natural deodorants. I've been curious about Erbaviva, might have to try it.
DeleteI'm currently trying out the Schmidts sample sizes - their Lavender & Sage is the current favourite. I find actually the main irritant for me is that they sometimes stain the underarm of the top I'm wearing. I'm tempted to try out Meow Meow Tweet next, even if partly for the cute packaging! x
ReplyDeletesame here, anytime i wear a white top the pits turn yellow. i've never had a problem washing it out (so far!) though, which is a huge improvement over most of the conventional deodorants i used to use.
Deletei actually just purchased MMT deodorant as well! i've heard so many good things about it that i wanted to at least try it out (and see if it would solve the yellow stain problem, though with many of the same ingredients as schmidts i'm not sure that's going to happen). i hope it lasts all day on me, because that's one area where schmidts really knocks it out of the park -- i've worn it to the beach all day (swimming + heat + sports) and not had to reapply at all!
Schmidts smells delicious and it definitely outlasted meow meow tweet BUT irritated my underarms really badly. I'm surprised about the yellow stains, I find it happens less since i've switched to natural deodorants. Conventional deodorants left my clothes stained and left behind a weird film.
DeleteI can't believe I haven't tried Meow Meow Tweet yet! But it's gotten so many raves that I just might have to soon. Thanks for sharing your thoughts on this indie brand (isn't their packaging just adorable?)
ReplyDeleteYou'll have to try it and let me know what you think! LOVEEEEE their packaging!
Deleteschimt's turn my white shirt yellow too :(.. Also, i think i'm sensitive to baking soda :( My best natural deodorant is Lafes.. i think i'll return too it..Xx Thanks for information about Aubrey :)
ReplyDeleteLafes is great too! It's just too drying in the winter time for me.
DeleteYou've got great timing on this post - I've had MMT's tea tree deodorant sitting in my well.ca cart for the last week or so while I debated whether or not I wanted to buy it. I'm definitely leaning towards getting it after your review :)
ReplyDeletehaha I was reading your mind! I had it in my cart forever too. Let me know if you try it!
DeleteI had a sample size of the tea tree one but I didn't really like it, it didn't last long on me :/ I'm happy it works better for you! :) xx
ReplyDeleteoh no, that's too bad! xo
DeleteI'm struggling with natural deo, I just can't get on with any. I do love Meow Meow packaging, super cute design
