I've had a busy Sunday. So busy and yet doing nothing I had really planned to. I have been planning to go through my clothes and do another purge...I've been trying to replace some of the things with higher quality...and just ensure I have clothes to do the things I wanna do. It's a low and steady process that I am still working on. Just not today.
In the meantime- I've got yet another natural deodorant review.
Humble claims:
I bought this in the summer when I was in the states. The Native deodorant I was using ran out and I needed a replacement but I was trying to keep it more natural. They had a lot of options but I ended up going with the Patchouli option because I love Patchouli and I was curious about Copal.
Per Google Copal is:
Copal is an aromatic, recent or fossilized resin from various tropical trees, particularly Bursera species, historically used in Mesoamerican Day of the Dead (Dia de los Muertos) rituals, as incense for purification and to connect with the spiritual realm.
Sounds cool, I can't believe I haven't heard of it, I'm intrigued though and hope I can find it in other products.
The main scent I get is Patchouli. Which smells so good! It has an earthy, exotic type of smell. I love the Patchouli Essential Oil but sometimes I'm not a big fan of it in some perfumes. Just depends how it's used.
This definitely has a gritty texture. Kind of like what you would get if you made your own DIY Coconut Oil and Baking Soda deodorant.
You will still sweat. And this will leave stains behind that do wash out pretty easily. If it doesn't you may want to try dish soap to get it out since I think it is essentially an oil stain.
I do have to carry it with me and reapply . But it's more like "oh, I need to reapply" rather than "OHHHH, I NEED TO REAPPLY".
I first bought the plastic bottle version. I had to re-order it because they don't sell it locally and was thrilled to find they have a plastic free version. If I can reduce my plastic use, I will. I was worried about how it would hold up but it's been perfectly, perfect. It's what I will buy going forward.
So far, it's my favorite natural deodorant. I will likely keep repurchasing until I have something better and maybe try other scents every now and again....
