Deck the Halls And Your Armpits With Crystal Natural Deodorant

Many thanks to Crystal for sending over these products in exchange for a review. All thoughts are my own.

The holiday season often brings on the Christmas plays, the parties, and the work functions that one must look and smell their best. No matter whether you have spent the day trimming your tree or making Christmas cookies, Crystal Deodorant has you smelling your best.

Many folks are looking for products that are non-toxic, safe, but are still effective at doing their job. There are a lot of "clean" products out there that really aren't clean, or effective, as cosmetic products.

Crystal deodorant actually has a mineral base with ingredients taken directly from nature and contains no aluminum. No testing is done on animals and products are all vegan friendly. Mineral Salts help prevent odor by building an invisible barrier between your skin and bacteria. Magnesium enriched products do the same, but give the extra protection that would be attributed to aluminum.

There are a few different types to help you stay your holiday best and keep streaks from showing up on your clothes.

I was sent:

Crystal Magnesium Enriched Deodorant in Sea Salt & Sage and Cucumber & Mint.
Crystal Mineral-Enriched Deodorant Spray in Vanilla & Jasmine
Crystal Mineral-Enriched Deodorant Roll-On in Coconuts & Vanilla.

So, I must fully admit, I've not dived into the natural deodorant world, but I've been contemplating it for a while. I sweat with "regular" deodorant, so I'm sure that I'll definitely have a transition period as I use this.

My favorite smell is the Coconut and Vanilla roll-on, but I have a feeling I'm going to like the magnesium enriched solids better.

The Magnesium Enriched Deodorant is a solid stick that rolls on clear. No white marks, no baking soda, and no aluminum! Apply directly to clean skin.

The Mineral-Enriched Deodorant Spray dries fast after applying to clean dry skin.

The Mineral-Enriched Deodorant Roll-On applies directly to clean dry skin as well.

Crystal products are meant to prevent odor for 24 hours but note that they are a deodorant only and not an antiperspirant. Antiperspirants are different from deodorants. Deodorants attack the bacteria that causes smell while antiperspirants have ingredients that actually attack and change our body's philology. Antiperspirants actually try to prevent sweat from happening, which is something much needed in the South, especially for those of us who get hot super easily, but it does so by clogging our pores and preventing us from doing the thing our bodies were made to do.

Yet, many people are attributing health concerns, particularly breast cancer risks, to the aluminum and other toxic ingredients found in our deodorants, so it might be time to make the jump to natural products if you are concerned about your health risks.

If you have been using regular over the counter deodorants all your life, you might struggle some to get things under control during and after your deodorant detox. Detoxing your armpits from the aluminum, baking soda, and other ingredients found in your current deodorant might take up to thirty days. Your body could go into overdrive, so it might feel that your Crystal Deodorant isn't working as it tries to release all the toxins it's consumed over the years.

As you head into the holiday season, and the cooler months, it's the perfect time to detox your armpits with Crystal Deodorant! This makes a great gift for yourself and your family, especially if you are trying to move towards clean non-toxic products.
