Deodorant, Coconut + Vanilla, 2.5 oz (70 g), CRYSTAL

I’ve been really impressed with this magnesium infused deodorant. It’s incredibly effective at keeping me feeling fresh throughout the day, even during busy or more active moments. The subtle pleasant scent is just right—not overpowering, but clean and noticeable enough to feel confident. I also love that it’s aluminum free for the conscious health minded consumer, which was a big factor in my decision to try it. It gives me peace of mind while still delivering great sweat control. Overall, it provides a great balance of comfort, performance, and clean ingredients. Definitely a product I’ll continue using and recommending!

This deodorant used to be a smooth solid, now there's little rough crystals of what looks like Himalayan salt mixed into the stick and it HURTS SO BAD to apply! Scrapes my armpits and causes BAD inflammation. Still smells nice and seems to function properly in keeping odor away, but I'm not going to lose the skin on my armpits to accomplish this. This must be a manufacturing error (I've seen at least one other review stating this same problem) because no one in their right mind would sell EXFOLIATING deodorant, not to this extreme degree. Reminds me of sugar scrub, but is PAINFUL to apply. Please, fix, Crystal! Or DON'T SELL. I'd give zero stars if I could because, if you can't apply your deodorant, how can it work?

I ordered the Crystal Natural Deodorant to avoid the use of aluminum on a daily basis while still maintaining a clean fresh smell. After the gym, throughout the day & even during long parties, the scent stays strong, the sweat control is efficient & I don't have to worry about the ingredient list! Great purchase for somebody who is looking for a proper natural alternative to deodorant.

The Reality Check: I am one of those people who must wear deodorant. If I don't, I will start smelling within an hour of showering, even if I am just sitting on the couch. I spent months testing 9 aluminum-free brands in a professional office setting with 10k steps a day to find out which ones actually hold up and which ones are just a greasy mess. The Heavy Hitters (Top Tier) • Shwally Zinc and Charcoal: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Performance: The absolute gold standard for odor. This is the only one that gave me 24+ hours of protection. Experience: Since it is tallow-based, it feels grease-heavy when you first apply it, but it dries up shortly after. Even though it contains a form of baking soda, I had zero irritation. • The People’s Pharmacy MOM (Milk of Magnesia) Roll-on: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Performance: 12+ hours of solid protection with zero irritation. Experience: This was a huge surprise. It is completely non-greasy and dries quickly, leaving a subtle white dry residue (like baby powder) that feels very clean. The fragrance-free version is great, and the scented one is subtle. The Catch: Not widely available; you usually have to buy directly from their site, so shipping and handling fees will add to the cost. High Performance (4 Stars) • Salt and Stone (Bergamot and Hinoki): ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Performance: 12+ hours. The scent is the best of all products tested, but it is not subtle; it is strong and it will cling to your clothes all day. Experience: Very effective, but the grease feeling is real and the baking soda eventually caused significant redness for me. Excellent customer service though; they sent a sensitive version for free. • Gymati Fitness Spray: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Performance: 8+ hours of protection. Experience: A sporty scent that replaces the need for cologne. It is a quick-dry spray with no grease or stains. The Catch: Because it is a spray, it has the tallest container of the bunch. It takes up more space in a gym bag or desk drawer. The Middle Ground • Kokoa Botanics: ⭐⭐⭐ Performance: 8+ hours. Experience: This was the only plastic-free container I tested. However, it is very temperature dependent; if it is not warm enough, it crumbles in your armpit. The sweet scent transfers to your shirt and intensifies the longer you wear it. The Catch: Not widely available besides directly from their website, so shipping and handling will add to the cost. • Salt and Stone (Sensitive): ⭐⭐⭐ Performance: 6+ hours. Experience: Solved the irritation but the protection dropped. It feels grease-heavy on application and does not dry fast enough before putting a shirt on. Scent is more subtle than the original formula. The Low-Protection Group • Clearly FRESH Magnesium Roll-On: ⭐⭐ Experience: Initial protection decreases quickly through time. After 6 hours, it is like not having any deodorant on at all. It is not greasy and dries quickly, but it just doesn't last. • Kopari and Crystal Magnesium: ⭐⭐ Experience: Both smelled nice but were very greasy. They transferred all over my shirts and only lasted about 6 hours before the odor broke through. Final Verdict for the High-Odor Individual: 1. Best Overall Protection: Shwally (for the 24hr protection) 2. Best Scent: Salt and Stone (Original) 3. Best Budget and Feel: People's Pharmacy MOM (for the dry, baby-powder finish) 4. Best Spray: Gymati (if you have the extra room in your bag)

I contacted the company about my sticks being grainy and they sent me 2 replacement items right away. Great customer service! It took me years to find a product that doesn't irritate me so I was very disappointed when it arrived grainy. I think it was a bad batch. Thank you, great product and service!!
