Be informed, not fooled! – This statement on the back of the product basically summarizes the good things that I can say about the “organic citrus fresh stick deodorant” from Nourish. They list all their ingredients, and it is all good stuff. The statement “no chemicals” is a bit misleading because at least the informed of us know that almost everything is a chemical and can be reproduced in a lab. I would let Nourish get away with that little scientific slip-up, if the product would keep at least one of the promises it makes when it comes to underarm aroma…
For starters, the deodorant stick is very pasty and gives you the feeling of smearing cookie dough in your armpits. The product does smell like oranges but the fresh scent does not last long. I do not know which ingredient is supposed to neutralize odor, but one thing is for sure: it doesn’t do its job. Maybe it is the sweltering Florida heat but the deodorant does not keep the underarms dry and it also does not keep them from becoming smelly. The orange scent is still there but it smells more like a bag of oranges gone bad.
I was excited when I bought the product but it was a waste of money. That is particularly sad because I am really waiting for a deodorant that does not contain ingredients that mess with my hormones. However, this point clearly goes to Secret® and Co.
Big applause to the company for using renewable, recyclable and industrially biodegradable packaging and labels.
