What was troubling to me about deodorants is I couldn’t recycle them when I was done! I didn’t have a favorite kind and so was trying different brands, until I settled on those that were aluminum-free. Then one day, walking through a natural food store, I saw the deodorant stone! The Thai Crystal.
It was intriguing! It would last a few years and I wouldn’t be throwing away all this plastic! I am now on my second one and I started using them around 2016.
Instructions:
– How do I use it? Simple! I would shower at night and put it on in the morning, by dampening the stone and rubbing the smooth surface of the stone all over the underarms. It will be wet for a little bit.
Tips:
– It’s best to put it on before any high activity for it to work, like one would with any deodorant. It can be applied after most people shower in the morning. I just prefer to shower at night!
– I put it in a box now as pieces on the bottom of the stone can break off over time, and if you travel this helps to keep it upright.
It is mineral based, fragrance-free, and takes away bad-odor naturally. It also doesn’t leave any residue on underarms or clothes! That was always annoying for me! The only thing it doesn’t do is prevent sweating. But I felt the odor was more important than the sweating. There are ways to prevent sweat “showing,” such as hiding it with a cardigan, wearing dark colors or white, or getting cotton sweat pads that you could wear under your arms and the like. I am still figuring out my wardrobe so I haven’t tried it yet.
