With the health movement onthe rise many of us have been looking for better alternatives to our everyday items that will leave us just as pleased with less worry.

Overall
After many instances of unpleasant reactions from traditional deodorant I came in with high hopes for this product. After using it for 30 days I can confirm it will leave you feeling fresh and with none of those irritations that regular deodorant gives, but it doesn't perform well in terms of what you want deodorant to do. I'm a fairly active person, lifting weights 2-3 times a week and running on the weekend, and this deodorant did little to nothing to help with sweat. Going into this I did have an understanding it may not suit an active person, but it still seemed to do nothing on the hot days when I would just be standing there. Not to be graphic, but 3-4 hours after application I would be looking for ways to mask the hint of odor starting to appear. After that happened a couple of times I started to wonder if the benefits were worth the constant anxiety of wondering if or when I would smell that day. This product is very affordable and seems to have a long shelf life, after constant use with multiple reapplications it still has a lot of liquid left in the bottle.
The Crystal Aluminum Free Deodorant seems to be a great Fall/Winter deodorant, and a great substitute on the days where you are least active. I would still recommend this item for anybody looking for a safer option to help them in their hygiene routine.
