Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I so badly wanted to LOVE this deodorant. In fact, I did the first few days of use and couldn't wait to get on here and post a review making sure the world knew I thought it was wonderful!! It was the FIRST natural deodorant I've tried that didn't need to be reapplied multiple times in a day. In fact, I was pleasantly surprised the sweet vanilla rose scent could still be smelt the following day when I woke up! It seemed to be such good quality, I thought 1 application might last 2 days in a row (of course I didn't want to experiment with that so I always reapplied the next morning. Ha!) As does, life happened so a few days turned into a few weeks and I still hadn't got around to writing that review. During that time, my opinion changed... drastically. The first thing I noticed were the sweat stains on my shirts. The only thing worse than having black shirts stained with white deodorant marks is having white shirts stained with BROWN deodorant marks. I'm not talking an old shirt that had gradually been stained in the armpits over time like all shirts do. I'm talking a BRAND NEW white shirt that had never been worn. I started paying more attention and every light colored shirt I wore stained brown / orange sweat marks; because, as you can see from my picture, the color of the deodorant is brownish. So that was the first big bummer. But like all natural things, the deodorant is more costly than something from a drug store and I can't just keep buying a new natural deodorant every time one doesn't work. And because I love the scent of this so much and love the lasting protection it gives, I decided to see my deodorant stick through to the end. A few days later I noticed a few red bumps on my armpits. I thought it was a razor burn or from my bra digging into my armpit. I stopped wearing that bra and gave it a few days to see if the bumps went away. And here we are 2 weeks later and the bumps have gotten WAY worse. They aren't itchy. I don't think I'm allergic to the product. And I've never had any issues like this... like EVER. I have zero allergies to anything that I've stumbled on so far in my lifetime and don't have sensitive skin. So I do believe it's due to this product. My hunch is that because the deodorant is so thick, that's why it lasts so long and even the second day I still smell it on me; yet, BECAUSE it is so thick, I think it's clogging my pores and causing bacteria to build up. I don't think the product is crap. I really believe it is a quality product. It just doesn't work for me. If it did, I would never use any deodorant but this as long as I lived. That's how much I wanted to love this product. All of you who it works for, you are so lucky!
