Main Objections

Ineffective Deodorant?

It doesn't work for about 5% of people. For those, we have a returnless refund policy so you can try without risk.

Messy?

Detailed instructions and videos on the website minimize mess.

It Seems Expensive?

Because it is a powder and doesn't have the fillers of other products, it can be thought of as a concentrate. Mineralized lasts a long time.

How It Works

Body odor is largely caused by bacteria that live on your skin. These bacteria eat the sweat from apocrine sweat glands (which contain water but also a grab-bag of fatty acids, proteins, and other stuff), and the waste products from bacteria eating these other products are what have a bad odor. Mineralized works by targeting and neutralizing the odorous byproducts from this reaction.

Ingredients and Sourcing

We believe in full transparency. Below is a complete list of every ingredient used in our formula and its purpose.

Ingredient Source Purpose in Formula
Magnesium Hydroxide (pharmaceutical grade) Japan Antacid that helps neutralize odor; derived from sea water
Magnesium Carbonate (pharmaceutical grade) Japan Absorbs moisture, keeping you drier; derived from sea water
Calcium Carbonate (pharmaceutical grade) China Antacid that helps create an inhospitable environment for odor-causing bacteria; also balances the magnesium; derived from limestone
Magnesium Oxide (pharmaceutical grade) Japan Absorbs moisture; derived from sea water
Organic Jojoba Oil (clear) Canada Slight amount to add dampness
Essential Oils for scents, organic when possible Canada Scents

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you test on animals?

No, we do not, and we have confirmed with our suppliers that they also do not test on animals. Mineralized is also a vegan product.

Why a powder?

We chose a powder to stay true to our values of selecting ingredients based on safety and effectiveness. Synthetic chemicals are commonly used to create sticks, gels, and creams, and we wanted to avoid them. The resulting formulation is a powder to avoid these chemicals.

Where is it made? Where do you source your materials from?

The product is made in Englewood, Colorado, USA, and ships from there. But we source our ingredients and materials from all over:

  • We buy the powder ingredients from an American distributor, but the origin of the powders is Japan (magnesium hydroxide, magnesium carbonate, magnesium oxide) and China (calcium carbonate). Our ingredients page has the certificates of analysis if you are interested.
  • The packaging is sourced from China - we have looked around in the USA for packaging, but as a smaller business we have two headwinds: 1) USA-based suppliers don't want to deal in the 'small' quantities we need, and 2) the prices are high compared to what we can get overseas. One day, hopefully, that will change.
  • The essential oils are from Canadian and French distributors, but they source them from many different countries.

How long does it last?

We offer two sizes: Full-Size (same as the refill size) and Big Samples.

  • Full-Size/Refills last about 6–8 months with underarm use.
  • Big Samples last approximately 5–8 weeks.

These estimates are based on customer feedback and buying patterns, but actual duration varies depending on usage.

Will this deodorant work with hairy armpits?

Yes! Many of our customers do not shave their underarms and use Mineralized with success. It is hard to get exact data on this, but we actually suspect two things: a) it might be slightly more effective for those with hairy underarms, the reason is that the hair helps to trap the deodorant in the underarm for longer (vs rubbing off on clothes, for example), keeping the powder where it is needed for longer, and b) it might require slightly more powder (vs shaved) to get full coverage, since the powder will disperse through the hair.

How should one know how much to apply?

It will take a little trial and error, but as a starting point we think that about one "thin coating" of powder on the applicator for each underarm is reasonable. So dip the applicator into the powder, scrape a little bit off on the edge of the container, and leave yourself a thin coating.

What are the descriptions of the different scents?

Scents:

  • Vetiver (Leather, tobacco, grassy, elegant and primal)
  • Cedarwood Atlas (Crisp, light cedar, hints of soft mint, subtle notes of dark fruit)
  • Tea Tree (Fresh, herbal, antiseptic, similar to eucalyptus but more complex)
  • Sandalwood (Creamy, gently warm, subtly spicy, sophisticated)
  • Cherry Blossom* (Light, sweet and refreshing with notes of pear, rose, and vanilla)
  • Blue Tansy (Earthy, slightly fruity, herbal with honey undertones, surprising depth and complexity)
  • Lavender (Floral, clean, notes of rosemary and mint, calming and soothing)
  • Pink Grapefruit + Bergamot (Crisp and fruity, fresh, bright and invigorating)
  • Sage (Dry, herbaceous, peppery, hints of eucalyptus and mint, magical and cleansing)
  • Wild Black Spruce (Freshly-cut pine, clean, sharp, musky, wild and ancient)
  • Vanilla (Sweet, rich, freshly baked, warm and cozy)
  • Rose (Graceful, exquisite, softly floral sweetness)
  • Sensitive Unscented (Completely unscented, smell like yourself, and our most sensitive offering)
  • Charcoal Unscented (Sensitive Unscented infused with organic activated charcoal)

Charcoal in deodorant helps absorb moisture and neutralize odor-causing bacteria due to its highly porous structure. The darker pigmentation of our charcoal-infused formula also reduces the visibility on darker skin complexions.

*Cherry blossom is technically "fragrance oil", not an essential oil. It is free of parabens, phthalates, Lyrals and Lilials. All other oils are essential oils, organic when available.

What if I don't like the scents I chose?

We understand that choosing scents online is difficult. If you try a new scent and really don't like it, email us—we can send a replacement, offer store credit, or provide a refund. We want you to love your scents, so we're happy to accommodate reasonable requests.

Is it an antiperspirant? How does it affect perspiration?

Mineralized is a deodorant, not an antiperspirant. Antiperspirants contain aluminum, which clogs sweat glands to prevent sweating. Mineralized is aluminum-free and works by neutralizing odor. That said, some of our ingredients are hydrophilic (water-loving) and absorb moisture, creating a slight drying effect. Some customers with hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating) have found that Mineralized helps. If you need to prevent sweating completely, you may still want to use an antiperspirant on certain days. However, using Mineralized on easy days or weekends can reduce exposure to antiperspirant chemicals.

Does Mineralized contain parabens, phthalates, or lilials?

No, Mineralized does not contain these.

What if it doesn't work?

Please see the section below our application instructions for common reasons why it might not work.

Do you test for heavy metals?

Yes, the results are (in ppm): Cadmium, Mercury, Arsenic less than 0.001, Lead 0.001

Can you explain to me how this works?

Body odor is largely caused by bacteria that live on your skin. These bacteria eat the sweat from apocrine sweat glands, and the waste products from bacteria eating these other products are what have a bad odor. Mineralized works by targeting and neutralizing the odorous byproducts from this reaction. If you decided to go without deodorant until you started to smell, and then applied Mineralized, it will neutralize that smell almost immediately. We have years of data on customers now, and we know that Mineralized works for most people. However, we have learned that it simply doesn't work for about 5% of people, which means our assumptions about what the odorous byproducts are are not complete. Some people just have a different (or additional) mechanism to produce odor, which Mineralized does not neutralize.

What is the pH of Mineralized?

Mineralized has a slightly basic pH of approximately 7.5 when mixed with 30ml of water. For reference: Water has a pH of 7.0 and Baking soda (measured the same way) has a pH of ~9.0.

Can the applicator be washed? How do you clean the applicator?

Yes, the applicator can be washed. How often is up to you and depends on your personal preferences. We recommend multiple rinses with water, and if necessary using a mild soap. If you use a soap, be sure to rinse numerous times to make sure it is completely rinsed away. When wet, the applicator will expand in size, but will shrink to normal size after drying. We have found that drying takes about 24-36 hours depending on how much water is squeezed out and the ambient heat and humidity conditions. We recommend drying in a well ventilated area. If you are in a tight spot and need it to dry faster, we have put it in the clothing dryer on low/medium heat (not with whites) and that seems to speed things up without degrading the sponge.

Why are some scents more expensive than others?

A few of the scents we sell have much higher priced essential oils, and rather than average that cost over all the scents we just made different price points to keep the other scents more affordable.

What is the applicator made of?

The applicator is made from 70% biodegradable polyurethane foam (free of latex). This is similar to the foam found in furniture, mattresses, car seats, shoes, and yoga mats to name a few examples. It is inert and resilient and can be washed many times. We consider this the largest shortcoming in terms of environmental impact at this time. But it is very durable, and can be washed many times before needing replacement. We have some that are going on 4 years old at this point. We do have some other ideas we are testing, and might have something soon!

Does the aluminum jar leach into the product?

Aluminum leaching into Mineralized is not a concern. The reason why is that metallic aluminum, after being formed, reacts quickly with oxygen in the air and forms a very thin layer of aluminum oxide. This nanometer-thick layer acts as a protective coating to the underlying aluminum, and is inert to chemical reactions except in certain circumstances. This form of aluminum is chemically very different from the aluminum found in antiperspirants. We did a little searching just to see if we could be wrong, and the conditions that are necessary for aluminum to corrode seem to require a strong alkaline liquid. We also reached out to our manufacturers to double check, and they agreed that there isn't any reason to believe that the aluminum will leach into the powder.

Why did you switch to jojoba oil (from coconut oil)?

We learned that more people are sensitive to coconut oil than we initially thought (and many do not know it themselves). The jojoba oil was used in our 'sensitive' version and seems to agree with a greater number of people, so after testing that it worked with scented versions we just switched it out. We still have an unscented coconut oil version available by special request.

Does Mineralized contain non-nano powder?

We do not use nano-powders in Mineralized. We are aware of the potential negative effects of nano-sized powders and inhalation. You can find an example size distribution report of the ingredients here.

Is Mineralized safe for all skin types?

Since 2020, when we first launched, we have had a handful of customers (1/1000 or so) that are allergic to something in Mineralized. The reaction has been a slight reddening of the skin. If this happens to you, please stop use immediately and contact us for further resolution.

I'm curious about the charcoal unscented and was wondering if it is better at water absorption than sensitive unscented. Also does the charcoal potentially stain light clothing?

Early feedback and testing suggests that the charcoal unscented is more moisture absorbing. We would expect this due to the very porous nature and large surface area of activated charcoal powder. We tested charcoal unscented with white cotton t-shirts for about 3 months and did not see any staining. The amount of charcoal is pretty low. But we do not know how it would behave yet with other fabrics, so advise some caution there. As of now we have not received any complaints or feedback of staining (late April 2025).

In reading your bio message in the 'About' section, it looks like this product has not gone through any formal testing or research or regulations. It appears to have just been tested on friends… and customers. How do we know it is truly safe?

Firstly, personal care products like deodorants are basically unregulated in the USA. The FDA does not approve cosmetics but does regulate them, making manufacturers responsible for ensuring the safety of their products. Our conclusion from digging deeper into this world is that the science for acute exposure for many of these chemicals is solid enough. However, there are no long-term studies in humans on the safety of these chemicals. Our answer is to try to create an effective product out of simple mineral compounds, with constituent ingredients that are already in our bodies (magnesium and calcium compounds in our case). Our reasoning is more from first principles: our body has these minerals in us already, and has machinery to deal with those minerals. Contrast this with the cocktail of foreign chemicals many of us are putting on our bodies everyday. So to finally address your question, we do not know if Mineralized is truly safe in the long term. We know from those studies that acutely it is very likely to be safe. But for the long term, for all personal care products, we are in a sense running the experiment currently.

Competitive Landscape

Mineralized is the only deodorant that is made from ingredients that are native and belong in your body. Others have bodily foreign chemicals with unknown long-term health outcomes. Mineralized is made from safe magnesium and calcium compounds. It is made with minerals that are already in you, and required by your body. No other deodorant has this benefit.

Reviews

  1. We Found Our Scents!

    By: Laura | Date:

    We Found Our Scents! | First, the deodorant works! I am a perimenopausal woman who sweats a lot due to hot flashes, and I have a teenage son who is an athlete. We are both happy with how the deodorant controls odor. We have both had to reapply most days (summer), but as natural deodorant users, we are used to that. I did feel a slight burning sensation the first time I applied it (I had just shaved). I changed to patting the powder in instead of rubbing it in, and that seems to have made the difference. Now, for the scents. I tried lavender and sage. My son tried sandalwood and wild black spruce. He loves the sandalwood and he likes the spruce. I love the lavender. The sage was disappointing. It has a camphor smell to it that makes it unbearable for either of us. Sadly, I don't smell sage in it at all. The powder is too messy to reapply at work or school (even after pressing it), so we will continue to carry our deodorant sticks in our bags, but we are thrilled with the performance of this deodorant and will be ordering full size refills of sandalwood and lavender. For performance reference, my son says this controls odor better than his Pete & Pedro stick, and I feel this performs better than my Each and Every stick (which has been my favorite by far - and believe me, I have tried them all).

  2. Effective, handy, smells awesome

    By: Sydney | Date:

    Effective, handy, smells awesome | This is the third or fourth natural deodorant I've tried and by far my favorite so far. I got the sample pack and found the scents to be fresh and really lovely without being overpowering (or under powering!) My pits are always nice and dry at the end of the day (I'm not a heavy sweater, but still noticed a positive difference from the other natural options). You can use the sponge to compress the powder if you want (my preferred method) and then the sponge fits neatly into the tin. Added bonus: I found I like the tin shape better than a traditional deodorant shape for traveling. It just seems to be more space efficient. And it's super satisfying that the tin is refillable <3 zero waste, baby!

  3. A powder that actually works

    By: Rita Gerstheimer-Seubert | Date:

    A powder that actually works | I promised a full review after using the deodorant during the hot and humid days of summer. It failed to last a full day at a temperature of 101°F and higher humidity, but that was the only time I detected any odor at the end of the day. I doubt there is any deodorant out there that could last a full day under those conditions. The situation I was in didn't allow me to reapply as I would have wished. I usually reapply after a sweaty workout and that helps keep odor away. I wish this product had been available years ago, I never would have turned to aluminum based antiperspirants. I can take some wetness, but not odor. I am very satisfied with this product and will be purchasing more when I run low. The reusable sponge and metal container are an improvement over plastic containers that really can't be recycled well. I don't miss the white film that would transfer to my clothing. I also don't miss needing to hold my arms away from my body to allow the antiperspirant or deodorant to dry before getting dressed. I highly recommend this product. I am glad I found it, it works better than several other natural deodorants I tried before.

  4. It worked for me when nothing else seems to work

    By: Sarah | Date:

    It worked for me when nothing else seems to work | I have tried many different deodorants, including Lume, Native, and others that come in different forms, and this is the only one that has actually seemed to work for me. It's the only one that seems to actually eliminate odor all day, for me at least. This is quite a relief. The powder does not seem to leave any residue or stains on my clothes either. I really like that powder comes in metal tins and refills come in cardboard, so no trash to throw away and less environmental impact from packaging (the applicator is still some kind of spongy synthetic thing, but what can you do. I wonder if it would work the same with some kind of cloth applicator. May try.)

  5. My tried-&-true deodorants "stopped working," this stuff 100% saved the day!

    By: Elizabeth | Date:

    My tried-&-true deodorants "stopped working," this stuff 100% saved the day! | I'd been using an unscented natural mineral roll-on or stone, or a name-brand unscented stick w/ "natural deodorizers," for YEARS, and they worked fine. Over the last few years my pit smell got really strong, like talk-to-my-doc strong, and I got hormones and stuff tested (nothing abnormal...fairly certain the strong smell was due to low-grade, continuous stress...it's being addressed, dear reader). I could shower in the evening, apply deodorant, and wake up the next morning stinky! Shirts became strictly single-use before needing to be laundered. I was embarrassed if I had to walk by people at work. I decided to try this stuff partly because of their generous refund policy, and I could tell after a single application that it worked! It works, it works, it works! Now I've even gone more than a day without reapplying and I'm still not smelly! One less little stressor in life, I'll take it! The biodegradable cardboard tube REFILLS are also a big selling point, one less piece of plastic. So glad I found this.

  6. Really wanted to love...

    By: Danielle Lucero | Date:

    Really wanted to love... | I really wanted to love this deodorant, as I loved the plastic free packaging, natural ingredients, and scent selection. However, after trying all 4 scents in my sample pack for 4 months, I do not notice any deodorizing effect. Within a few hours of showering and applying, I notice significant body odor. This is most pronounced when I have a small amount of hair in my armpits, but even occurs the day of and days after epilating all hair. I've tried exfoliating beforehand, applying when armpits are still slightly wet out of the shower, applying after using benzoyl peroxide, applying a second time 15 minutes after original application for a second layer, etc. and have not found any of these methods make it more effective.

  7. Cherry Blossom smells amazing

    By: Kate P. | Date:

    Cherry Blossom smells amazing | This is the best option for plastic free antiperspirant that I have found. It doesn't keep me as dry as typical antiperspirant (like Degree or Suave) but it works a lot better than the natural deodorants at dryness. The scent doesn't last very long, I typically reapply halfway through the day or else I start smelling myself a bit. The cherry blossom and sandalwood are my favorite scents.

  8. GAME CHANGER

    By: Alicia Ocasio | Date:

    GAME CHANGER | For the past several years I have been on a journey to finding products that are healthy for me and the world! I've tried powdered deodorants before that were messy, a pain to apply (I used my hand or a makeup brush), and left me ... literally smelling like an onion!! However, I LOVE the ease of applying MINERALIZED Deodorant!! I keep the applicator stored in the deodorant container which eliminates the mess and need for multiple items/brushes to be used and I stay dry and smell GREAT!!!! MINERALIZED Deodorant has been a total game changer for me and I will never go back to anything else!

  9. Balanced summary from customer reviews (automated aggregation)

    By: balanced summary (aggregate) | Date:

    Balanced summary from customer reviews (automated aggregation) | Key negatives (prioritized): Ineffective for a minority; White residue/transfer on clothing mentioned by some, however it can be easily cleaned and does not stain; learning curve for application but not difficult after practice, and skin reactions (rash/itch/irritation) reported by a small fraction of customers. Common positives: Frequently reported as effective at controlling odor for daily use; Scent options generally well received; unscented appreciated by sensitive users, with some saying it is the only deodorant they can use. Overall: Most customers report solid odor control and usable longevity without rashes; however, recurring concerns about effectiveness for a minority of people and residue/mess during application suggest fit may vary by skin type, clothing, and use context. Recommend trying because of 45 day returnless refund policy means it can be tried without risk.

  10. The search for the best natural deodorant is over

    By: Sabrina C | Date:

    The search for the best natural deodorant is over | Mineralized deodorant checks all the boxes of what I look for in a natural product and avoids all the ingredients that I don't want absorbed into my body. I love the sustainable packaging, ease of application, and its effectiveness at neutralizing odor! It also doesn't permanently stain my clothes, which other coconut oil-based deodorants have failed at (this is why I'm more than happy to pay the higher price tag). I also have sensitive skin which prevents me from using products with baking soda, so finding an effective and non-irritating natural deo has been difficult. I'm happy to report that Mineralized doesn't sting, itch, or burn - if anything, it leaves skin feeling silkier than before. The powder doesn't feel chalky and it doesn't bleach the skin; by patting the sponge you can blend it in. The tin's form factor is small and light enough to toss in a bag and travel with. I'm excited to try a refill with fragrance in the future, but I wanted to try the scent-free version to see if the formula was compatible with my pits and so far it's a winner in my book.

  11. I wanted to love this

    By: Juliana | Date:

    I wanted to love this | I wanted to love this deodorant so badly. Non-toxic and very low waste—such promise. Unfortunately, it just didn't work for me. I gave it 2 months of adjustment, but it just never prevented odor well enough. I'd come home from work and have to take a shower and reapply because I smelled so bad. Some pros are that it doesn't stain clothing, and it feels very nice on my skin. I love the delicate, natural scents. I actually liked the application process. I also have used it on other parts of my body like my feet when I didn't wear socks, and my thighs and it actually worked pretty well there. But, it just wasn't enough for under my arms.

  12. Why didn't I go aluminum-free sooner?!

    By: Patrice Lindgren | Date:

    Why didn't I go aluminum-free sooner?! | I love unscented Mineralized Deodorant Powder because it is not gunky like solid antiperspirant and doesn't rub off on clothes. I have extremely sensitive skin and this product does not irritate my skin. It truly smells like nothing—not competing with my perfume. The application is not messy and smooths on with the extremely soft applicator. I've been trialing other aluminum-free deodorants. I chose Mineralized because of its small non-plastic, refillable packaging. This product is what I've been looking for.

  13. No more odors!

    By: Pamela | Date:

    No more odors! | My husband always smelled immediately when he started sweating. We tried other products (Lume/Mando) and after using it a couple of weeks he broke out in horrible hives under his arms. We tried Native, and he had a reaction to that as well. (He's got very sensitive skin.) He's used this product for a couple of weeks now. No odor! But even more importantly for him, no rash, hives, or other allergic reaction! We're hoping this continues to work for the long haul—it's a miracle product if it does. We just got the sample to try, but I'm ordering the refill today!

  14. Shockingly effective

    By: kyle | Date:

    Shockingly effective | I've been using this for only 5 days, but immediately noticed a huge difference. It has been much more effective than not only aluminum free deodorant, but regular deodorant as well. Before this, I would smell bad just a few hours after applying deodorant. Now, there is no noticeable smell even after hours of outdoor activity in the Texas summer. I even had to skip a shower one day and still smelled fine. I've also had no rash or irritation like with many other deodorants. I even took up their suggestion of using it as dry shampoo one day, which worked much better than my regular spray version. If this continues to work, I will certainly order a full size container after this sample runs out.

  15. A miracle in a tin!

    By: Nicole P | Date:

    A miracle in a tin! | I have used Native, Little Seed Farm, Dove Naturals, Crystal and others. Some worked against stink but left my armpits rashy after months of use and others never battled the stink. I transitioned from antiperspirant many years ago and am glad I did but have struggled to find the best match for my pits. Mineralized is a miracle!!! This stuff not only smells amazing (I have tried Cherry Blossom and Jasmine) but it works incredibly well! After applying in the early morning, working out, going to work, doing a second workout and sleeping, the next morning I am still fresh as a daisy without reapplying!!! I can't speak highly enough about this stuff. The bonus is it doesn't stain clothing with the natural oils that others have in them. It also seems to control my sweat which has been minimal since becoming a natural deodorant user. It is expensive up front but lasts forever following the directions and is well worth every penny. Nothing comes close to the effectiveness of this product. Thank you for finally making my pits happy!

  16. Very happy!

    By: Nicole | Date:

    Very happy! | I just purchased my first refill of the cherry blossom scent. I've actually been using this powder to prevent chafing instead of deodorant and I've been very happy with the results. I love the light scent and the texture of the powder. The size of the container is easy to travel with and I appreciate that the refill containers are environmentally friendly. I will continue to buy this product.

  17. Works surprisingly well! My fave deodorant

    By: Stef | Date:

    Works surprisingly well! My fave deodorant | I wasn't sure how a powder deodorant would work out but this REALLY works—surpasses any other natural deodorant I've tried. I've only used 'natural' 'non toxic' deodorants for decades now but I haven't found one that truly kept me fresh for hours, or one where I wouldn't have breakthrough stink lol. But this powder formula, once you get used to applying it, actually works—keeps me fresh without having to reapply, even on a hot day with sweating/working out, it's gentle on my skin, and I love the very subtle natural scents (these really are subtle, which I love)—I got vanilla, cherry blossom and unscented. This is my game changer go-to natural deodorant from now on!

  18. Not for me

    By: Bridget Curry | Date:

    Not for me | I like the smell (pink grapefruit and bergamot) but it just didn't work for me. I had to apply it 3 times a day not to stink. The second day I used a lot more each time. I made sure to get every nook and cranny. And still, I had to reapply in the afternoon and before bed. It was great right up until it wasn't. I'm going to try it on other, non-armpit areas and see how it goes. I'm back to using Lume and I'll hang on to Mineralized for touchups on the second Lume day or something.

  19. Outstanding!

    By: The Kitchen Elf | Date:

    Outstanding! | I work in kitchens and walk everywhere so I can easily build up some ...natural scent... I had gone over a decade without wearing traditional deodorant relying on natural perfume. Of course the mixture of patchouli and natural human smell is not a favorite to many people. The perfume would sometimes interfere with my tasting for nuanced flavors. I tested a few other natural deodorants, some irritating, some sticky, just not fitting after not wearing them for so long. I decided to give mineralized a try and it was basically magic! It's dry, non-irritating, and easy to apply. I'll never go back to sticky clumpy deodorant. I thought I was doomed to be "one of those funky gals" but I've actually found a natural deodorant that works—like for a whole 12 hour day—thank you Mineralized!

  20. Works great

    By: Natasha Ingram | Date:

    Works great | I ordered samples of the Rose and the Vanilla. I tried them both out today (one scent under each arm). I work outside and it was a hot sunny day, so I was really sweaty by the time I got home. But I didn't smell bad at all! I did refresh and reapply since I had been sweating, but it's great to know it works. I also love that it feels clean when applied. I like both scents, I like the Rose slightly better than the Vanilla, but they are both nice. I ended up mixing them together and that smells great too. I'll definitely be back for more when it runs out.

Mineralized Deodorant — Low-Star Negative-Leaning Reviews

  1. Unfortunately doesn't prevent or eliminate odor

    By: J.C. | Date: | Rating: 2.0

    Unfortunately doesn't prevent or eliminate odor | I'm trying to eliminate essential oils since they can disrupt the microbiome and give me rashes, so I was really intrigued by this product and appreciated that it came in an unscented version. Unfortunately, it didn't work for me, which was disappointing.

    PROS: Unscented option; Did not irritate skin, even when applied multiple times a day

    CONS: Didn't prevent odor; Didn't fully eliminate odor when reapplied (this would be a hassle to reapply outside the home); Messy (powder gets on the counter, my hands, the floor and my bra despite being careful, which is not only annoying but wastes product); Pricey (I do not think this would last me 5-8 months with the number of times I kept reapplying, and thoroughly applying it)

    A couple things to note: 1) This DOES come with the applicator sponge, which wasn't mentioned on the product page when I ordered, so I bought one separately I never used. 2) I found I needed to press down and twist to get enough powder on the sponge. 3) The 45-day return policy is from when you ORDER, not from when you receive it. I was on the fence about the product until some hot days outside when it was clear it didn't work.

  2. Messy and didn't work all day

    By: April | Date: | Rating: 2.0

    Messy and didn't work all day | I was very hopeful when I purchased this. I will say it definitely helped with the moisture but I don't struggle with that, mine is smell. And after a few hours I could tell it wore off. I also have to mention it is VERY messy. I have powder all over my dresser. I'm sure this works for some people, but it wasn't for me sadly.

  3. Should've known better to buy a messy powder esp one that only fills a quarter of the jar

    Should've known better to buy a messy powder esp one that only fills a quarter of the jar | Opened like a smoke canister w powder flying up after the smallest crack open. Also why make something with the intent of sustainability and use up countless jars only filling to a quarter of its capacity?

  4. I tried to like it!

    I tried to like it! | I really was hopeful based on the person that advertised it but it didn't keep me from smelling within a few hours and it is so messy. I got the blue tansy and cherry blossom. My favorite scent is the cherry blossom. I will keep using them until they run out but unfortunately I have to put my other deodorant on also.

  5. Unfortunately it didn't work for me

    Unfortunately it didn't work for me | I was really hopeful that this product would work for me. I usually have to have a stronger deodorant/antiperspirant. After two days of constant use, my pits started to stink. When they stink, my clothing starts to smell. When that happens, it takes several washings, dry cleaning or new clothes. I guess that I am in that 5% of people who can't be helped. Thank you for providing samples to try so I don't waste my money. I will say that it keeps "the girls" dry! Thanks!
