Salt of the Earth Natural Deodorant 90g

Product Information

You can buy the crystal on its own, or the company also sells one encased in a plastic base. In both cases, you wet the product slightly before use or rub it on to damp skin. Some people find that they go through a 'detox' period of a few weeks as their pores gradually get rid of antiperspirant build-up, and this can temporarily lead to additional sweating and odour. Subscription deodorant might seem a bit unusual, but you can pause, edit or cancel the subscription at any time, and adjust deliveries or swap scents to suit you.

As for its eco credentials, Akt has a stylish recyclable aluminium tube and cap, and comes in cardboard boxes. However, these particular salts only have a deodorising effect, and sit on the skin, whereas aluminium chlorohydrate and aluminium zirconium are antiperspirant ingredients that plug pores to prevent sweating. Salt of the Earth says a 1-litre spray refill uses 70% less plastic than buying 10 individual 100ml sprays. Natural deodorants are claimed to be kinder to skin by using largely naturally derived ingredients.Others reported that it left greasy marks on their clothing if they dressed as soon as it was applied, so they preferred to let it settle a bit first. Be cautious with products containing bicarbonate of soda (also known as sodium bicarbonate or baking powder) or essential oils if you have sensitive skin or if you tend to shave your underarm hair, as it might cause irritation. Having researched the best eco-friendly deodorants, I’ve been compelled to give some of these a full user review. But personally I was more motivated by the environmental impacts of using typical spray and roll-on deodorants. My aim was to find a environmentally-friendly deodorant that used natural ingredients. Most importantly, it had to work! I dropped it from about waist height, so I would expect it to probably break up a bit more if dropped from a greater height. Week 7 & 8 – I took it to a music festival

The Salt of the Earth Deodorant Crystal is totally fragrance-free, so I’m finding that if I do sweat a lot during certain parts of the day I simply cool off and can still go about my day without smelling bad at all. Week 5 & 6 – Can it handle a UK heatwave? A key fear is around aluminium in deodorants potentially causing cancer. The theory is that aluminium compounds such as aluminium chlorohydrate or aluminium zirconium, used to stop sweating, can be absorbed through the underarms and cause breast cancer. The deodorant is applied using your fingers, although you can also buy a small bamboo spatula (50p) to get it out of the jar.Natural moisture absorbers, such as tapioca starch, arrowroot and kaolin clay, are typical ingredients used in these products, along with antibacterial ingredients such as baking soda, citric acid and ammonium alum, which prevent odours.

There are no added extras here - just crystal in a box. So if you're after a no-frills eco deodorant product that will last for six plus months (if you look after it) for not much outlay, this could be the one for you. The base ingredients include tapioca starch for moisture absorption and sodium bicarbonate for odour control. It also contains a range of natural fragrances including patchouli oil. There are several scents to choose from. Aluminium spray cans often have some plastic parts, such as nozzles and lids, that are harder to recycle, while aerosol sprays have their own environmental implications.

Unlike a regular roll-on deodorant, a crystal deodorant is totally dry, so as per the instructions, the best thing to do is either apply the deodorant straight after a shower or run the crystal under the tap if you’ve already dried off.

Nuud says one application is effective for between three and seven days. The active ingredients include antibacterial microsilver, which neutralises bacteria. Moisturising agents tend to be naturally derived options such as cacao or shea butter, coconut and almond oil. Several brands offer this option and several also offer stronger or more gentle formulations (usually based on the amount of sodium bicarb) for different activity levels or those with more sensitive skin

How do you use Salt of the Earth Classic Crystal Deodorant?

Claims also suggest that this plugging of sweat ducts with certain aluminium compounds prevents the body ridding itself of potentially carcinogenic substances absorbed during antiperspirant use. For centuries, natural mineral salts have been used to prevent body odour. One of these natural salts, potassium alum, is the main active ingredient in Salt of the Earth’s Unscented Natural Deodorant Spray. Potassium alum creates an invisible antibacterial layer on the skin’s surface that helps to control the growth of bacteria, preventing body odour. The result is effective, long-lasting protection that allows your skin to breathe.
