I can gladly announce that the search has ended. The search, that is, for a natural deodorant that really really works – really! Courtesy of the brand, I tested the Lavanila Healthy Deodorant, a 100% natural product, in the Vanilla Lavender scent, (also available in Vanilla Grapefruit, Vanilla Coconut and Vanilla Passion Fruit). So what makes it so great? Well for one, it doesn’t include any bad chemmies, and it works well to mask wetness and odor while nourishing the skin! It’s free of parabens, sulfates, synthetic dyes, petro-chemicals, and phthalates, aluminum and mineral oils. What it DOES have are essential oils and anti-oxidants, including aloe, seaweed, yeast beta glucan, and Goji berry. The scent is light, yet present, and the packaging is the nicest I’ve ever seen from a deodorant!
Lavanila Health Deodorant is available in a variety of scents, PLUS in the essential travel size, mini deodorant .9o oz option at Sephora, ranging in price from $10-$18.
