If you have been reading my blog for a while, then you know that I made the switch to natural deodorants a long time ago. I did this in two stages. First, I made the switch from antiperspirants to deodorants. It took my body a few months to get adjusted, but I swear, after a while I started to perspire less and then it was really no big deal to wear deodorant.
Then I moved over to natural products. I just don’t feel good about the aluminum found in most products, and the natural stuff has been proven to be completely safe. It is true that some natural products are more effective than others, but even with the least effective products, I find that I just need one more swipe toward the end of the day to get me through.
Really, my only complaint about making the switch has been that the natural products are more expensive. Until now, that is! I’ve been trying out a great line called Naturally Fresh that is available at every Walmart store for just $3.99! There are a variety of applications and scents, but I’ve been trying the unscented formula in a roll-on and have been VERY impressed. There’s no need to re-apply toward the end of the day with this product and the protection it provides is great!
Naturally Fresh products are made with all natural ingredients that eliminate odor causing bacteria. Their products are hypoallergenic, non-staining and contain NO aluminum.
Tim has been trying their spray mist version (he doesn’t like roll-on deodorant because his arm pit hair catches on it. Ouch!). The spray mist is purified water and pharmaceutical grade mineral salts. These are wonderful for Tim, who is part of the 10 percent of the population who suffers from rashes and irritations when he uses conventional deodorants. Plus, it really works and keeps him smelling great!
If you prefer to have a scented deodorant, Naturally Fresh does offer four exotic scents:
- ocean breeze
- lavender
- papaya fusion
- tropical breeze
- parabens – a preservative found in breast cancer tumors
- propylene glocol – also used in tobacco and petro
chemical products - phatlates – banned in Europe and outher countries as toxins
- harmful aluminum letals – clog pores and enter blood streams
I’m quite pleased with Naturally Fresh and will be purchasing it in the future, for sure!

Wow you’re site is full of great reviews! I have been contemplating the switch for quite sometime, and reading your review has eased some of my concern. I love that you also reviewed for men, because I’m always trying to find good healthy stuff for the men in my life. ^_^ If the spray mist comes in a scent, I would like Ocean Breeze. And for the roll on I would like Tropical Breeze. Much gratitude for the giveaway! ^_^
