Crystal Body Deodorant, Rock, 5 Ounce

I thought I'd give crystal deodorant a try since I tend to struggle with excess sweat. But, regular antiperspirants with aluminum salts tend to clog my pores, are difficult to wash off, and irritated my skin. This is a good option as it can be used all over the body. While not as effective as the traditional aluminum salt stick antiperspirant deodorant it does work. The crystal leaves a layer of potassium alum on your skin to make an antibacterial barrier preventing bacteria from proliferating and breaking down your sweat which is where the smell comes from. The potassium aluminum salt does act as an astringent and antiperspirant to prevent sweat as well. I have used this on freshly shaved skin too and found no irritation. The crystal is large and hard and should last for years. It is better to wet the skin than the stone for the stone to last. Caution, potassium alum disrupts the crystal structure of marble and granite so it should not touch another stone surface. I have found this easy to use when fresh out of the shower by adding it in a circular motion on clean damp to wet skin. It adds protection for at least half a day with better results seen when reapplied at least once to twice a day. This is unscented. I add a scented aluminum free deodorant for scent alone.

I decided to give this product a try since I have recently become very sensitive to deodorants since being premenopausal. I remembered, when I was young, my grandmother used a crystal rock for her deodorant. So I looked up online, some natural alternatives to deodorant. I found this one. It works absolutely amazing. You either apply it on directly after a shower when your armpits are still wet or damp or you just run the crystal underwater and then apply directly to underarms or wherever else on your body that you might create odor. The great thing is that it’s natural so you don’t have to worry about any harsh chemicals. If you have any health concerns it’s a safe choice. And did I mention that it works! It’s definitely worth trying, and it will last a really long time.

Works great! No need to use deodorant ever again! Surprisingly don’t smell bad at the end of the day!

I got this deodorant rock to replace a salt deodorant with a plastic applicator. The applicator got mildew inside and I just couldn't use it anymore. I've used this one for about a week and like it so far. The salt can feel a bit slippery without the applicator to hold it, so I have to be careful not to let it slip out of my hands. I use it right away when I'm out of the shower, wetting it before each application, and rinsing it off when I'm done. I find that it prevents odor well, even in the summer. It doesn't stop perspiration, but I don't find it to be a problem. I have very sensitive skin, so I only use it for two or three days in a row, alternating with another natural deodorant. The salt dries my skin and eventually causes some irritation if I used it every day. I still much prefer this rock deodorant to an anti-perspirant/deodorant made with a long list of chemicals. It's unscented, dries right away, and doesn't stain or leave marks on my clothes. 4 stars.

I found that I prefer to use this as a spray verses rubbing directly on my skin. I'd advise anyone that developed irritation to try this method. I fill a quart jar with water, put the salt block in it and seal. I leave it for like 2 weeks to make salt water and then remove the salt block. I then use that jar to refill my little spray bottle. I spray my arm pits after a shower and each morning and I have no smell. It is not an antiperspirant, you will still sweat. But no odor, no stains, no transfer, no chemicals! I looked back through my previous orders and found that every block has lasted me just over 2 years!

These are great! I had my first one for more than a decade, only had to replace it because I dropped it and it shattered. They work really well when used daily. No scent, no aluminum. Doesn’t irritate your skin or discolor clothing.

This somehow works better than the roll-on equivalent. I used this for 2 weeks, then stopped using it because my armpits were super irritated. When I stopped using it, I started to stink again. So I guess it works! When you apply the salt cube, it exfoliates because little salt crystals get left behind. I don’t think this would be a problem for men/unshaved pits, but as a woman, this especially irritated my armpits 1-3 days after I shaved. It’s like rubbing salt into a wound; literally. It’s just too painful to continue using. The little tray broke immediately. It’s pretty useless. I’ll just use a little ceramic dish.

I have always known about this product but had no idea that it would actually work for me because I am a very sweaty woman! I prefer to use deodorant-only with as few dangerous chemicals as possible, but the one I've been using for the last few years still leaves me with bad B.O. after a short time. A friend suggest this Rock to me and I thought it wouldn't work, but after realizing all of my summer shirts are now infused with my bad BO even before I wear them, I decided I needed to do something different before people start avoiding me! I honestly have NO armpit odor after using this thing! It is amazing! I don't even sweat as much as I used to, and this is July in a southern state. So far, it's lasted all day and night without reapplying, though I did reapply one time after being outside for a few hours in the heat. I am so happy that I no longer stink! UPDATE! I was so so sad to develop an absolutely terrible rash after about 3 weeks of use. I had to stop using it, but once my pits healed, I gave it another try. Imagine my surprise when, right after use, I felt a TON of salt left in my pits! Turns out, after a few weeks of use, some of the salt starts to loosen up on the rock, and when you use it, larger than normal deposits of salt wind up in the armpits. As you sweat the salt melts so it's not noticeable that there is a tablespoon or so of salt in there, which is obviously too much and is irritating. Simply be careful to dust off the chunks of salt from the armpits right after use. No more irritation and terrible rash for me! Second update: If you are using this and sometimes you smell and sometimes you don't, it's probably your old pre-rock shirts! I used to use a heavily scented deodorant because I sweated so much and would end up with stinky pits. Since I used the overly scented deodorant every day, I didn't notice how bad my actual shirts smelled once I started getting a little sweaty. Of course I wash my laundry and am not a gross person at all, however once I started using the rock, as soon as my pits would get a little damp, those older shirts would begin to stink of a mixture of B.O. and my old deodorant. Even my shirts I've washed tons of times, done vinegar soaks to remove the old pit odors, and shirts I've bleached!! I happened to buy a few new shirts post-rock, and none of them have that odor at all. So now I'm buying all new shirts that won't get stinky with old funk with the slightest amount of sweat.

Très efficace pour cautériser les petites coupures

At first I was skeptical about this product but it turned out to be a new concept in personal higiene (Which in many cultures is not new!) If you care for your money and environment there’s no discussion in getting this item. My husband and I have been using it for over an year now. Shirts are no longer yellowish, and surprisingly no nasty smells!!

Nice
