I feel like I've been seeing this everywhere but at the same time I haven't seen it anywhere. I think it comes up on Amazon or Amazon recommend it to me. Not sure. It's pretty pricey online though. I bought this at my local store for almost $10.00. 

So first things first- comes in plastic packaging. As most deodorants to. I just make sure to recycle but I do wish more companies would explore plastic free options. 

Next up, scent...it smells like a Coconut Vanilla Birthday cake. Very sweet and although I don't love most coconut scents- I like this one. Most just fail to capture the coconut but this does so very well.  I don't think the scent hangs around long though. But if you like gourmand, food scents- you would like this. 

It works for me. For the most part- except when I stress sweat. Then it doesn't work. This is good one for me to wear when I am just hanging out around the house though. The ingredients are cleaner than other brands. 

It claims 72 hours. Which is a bold claim. I could never go 72 hours without a shower..so I won't be testing that. 

It is a baking soda based formula which those always work the best for me but they tend to tear up my skin. I typically getting horrible, itchy and peeling rashes from baking soda. Not with this. 

Ingredients:

Coconut Oil, Shea Butter, Baking Soda, Tapioca Starch, Ozokerite, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Magnesium Hydroxide, Cyclodextrin, Fragrance.

Overall, only a good option for me in the house. I do wish the price was a little better too. I would repurchase but I want to try other scents. I have read of some people saying some of the scents work better than others.

And now I need to try and stave off the craving I suddenly have for some coconut cake....
