Product Review: Green Tidings All Natural Deodorant

​When I looked at the ingredient list on my deodorant and read the warning, "consult doctor if you have kidney disease," I knew it was time for new deodorant.

Natural deodorants get a bad rap. People say they don't work, which is partially true. Most natural deodorants do not contain an antiperspirant. This is because preventing us from sweating takes chemicals. Chemicals, which I might add, are easily absorbed into the thin skin of our armpits.

I understand the importance of staying dry, but sweating serves an important purpose--we sweat to get rid of toxins. One thing I've read is that you sweat more if you use a traditional deodorant, so after a few months on the good stuff, you will start sweating less.

My research led me to Green Tidings All Natural Deodorant in Lavender Scent:

​This stuff really does work. It's a stick deodorant, which is more comfortable to me than a spray or roll-on. I prefer the lavender scented version. The smell is amazing. I love unscrewing the container every morning for a whiff of spicy lavender. It goes on easily and doesn't leave marks on my clothes. I'm in month two of using it and no pit stains.

​Yes, it is pricier than other deodorants, but them's the breaks with all non-toxic products. Also, my stick is lasting longer than I've read in reviews.

​
​Green Tidings is gluten-free, soy-free, paraben-free, BPA-free, vegan, and not tested on animals. Another bonus is I bought a stick for my very picky husband and even he likes it. Green Tidings has recently expanded their product line adding skin oils and body butters. I can't wait to try them. 

If you to ditch one conventional personal care product it should be your deodorant. Sweatier, but safer, that's what I always say.
