Crystal Essence Mineral Deodorant Review

I’ve always wanted to try Mineral Deodorant, but to be honest, I didn’t think it would really work. Let’s remember, I’m cheap and those Mineral Deodorants can be pricey and I’ve never had the courage to shell out my money and risk ending up with sweaty, smelly pits.

Lucky for me, the One2One Network contacted me to try the world’s original and #1 mineral salt deodorant- Crystal® Deodorant.  What is mineral deodorant and why would I be interested in trying it?  Deodorant is just deodorant right? 

Well…If you know anything about antiperspirants, you know that they contain aluminum- which is known to destroy ecosystems, pollute our water and has been thought to be linked to Breast Cancer and Alzheimer’s.  Eek! 

Needless to say, I was excited to give Crystal Deodorant a chance! I was sent three sample- Crystal® essence Lavender and White Tea Roll-On Deodorant , Crystal® essence Pomegranate Roll-On Deodorant, and Unscented Crystal® Body Deodorant Roll-On. 

My Experience: Of the three I liked the Pomegranate scent the best.  As an antiperspirant user, I was concerned that my underarms would feel sticky and wet without the antiperspirant, however I felt absolutely no difference between the Crystal deodorant and my regular antiperspirant.  The only thing that I had to get use to was the roll-on application and having to let the deodorant dry before dressing.  I’m looking forward to see how this mineral deodorant works long-term, but so far I’m impressed and would love to make the switch to a greener, chemical free deodorant.
