Baxter Citrus and Herbal Musk Essence Deodorant Review

I just finished re-watching part one of the seventh season of Outlander  and I'm about to dig into part 2. Only being delayed by this post. Bummer. I wish I didn't have to get up early tomorrow because then I could watch a little bit longer instead of going to bed in a few hours.  I also need to watch the latest season of You and  also start The last of Us. I didn't even realize a new season dropped but I'm very excited for it since I did play through the video game. But anyway...on to this post so I can get back to my show.

Baxter claims: 

Aluminum-free and alcohol-free deodorant tackles odor as it detoxifies and conditions the skin. The clear solid gel formula includes tea tree and witch hazel extracts to tone and disinfect, taking care of odor-causing bacteria.

• Perfect for sensitive skin
• Absorbs quickly
• Won't stain or discolor clothes
• Paraben-free
• 2015 GQ Grooming Award Winner for Best Deodorant
• 2016 AskMen.com Grooming Award Winner
• 2020 Gear Patrol Editor's Choice for Best Smelling Deodorant

So this is definitely men's deodorant. I think I realized it when I bought it and bought anyway. It comes in a small size and then a regular size. I do like that it comes in a smaller size because it's a great way to give it a go and see if it actually works. And if it does work, it would be great for travel.

So it is very tiny. Size is 1.2 ounces and the listed price is $12. The full size is $22. In comparison to other deodorants for the amount you get...it's very expensive. I also didn't realize the size would be so small when I bought it. 

But that's OK. It doesn't really work that well. If I am just sitting around and doing nothing all day it's fine. It works better than more "Natural" deodorants. If I work out...it does OK but definitely needs a re-application after. And I don't trust it in the hot weather or when I am stressed. I definitely don't trust it overnight.

Still it does work a lot better than most other natural deodorants. 

The scent is nice. Just a generic and vaguely masculine scent. I don't smell it after I put it on. 

Packaging is nice. It comes in that thicker plastic packaging that indicates a pricier product.

Ingredients are ok. It has a lot of natural ingredients that seem to serve more as skincare. 

From what I can tell there are a lot of reviews that say this changed not too long ago and was better before reformulation. My container definitely has a different ingredient list than what the site lists. There are so many more natural extracts in the other one.

Ingredients:

PROPYLENE GLYCOL, WATER (AQUA), SODIUM STEARATE, GLYCERIN (PLANT DERIVED), PPG-3 Myistyl Ether,  Sorbitan Stearate, FRAGRANCE (PARFUM), Propanediol, Linalool, Stearic Acid, Limonene,  Witch Hazel, Seabuckthorn Fruit Extract, Citronellol, Geraniol, Eugenol, Phenoxyethanol, Coumarin, Hydrozycitronellol, Citral, Punica Granatum, BHT 

Overall, it didn't live up to the expectations the price set.
