Item Description
To continue on my organic health care track, I picked up some Tom's deodorant. I chose the lavender because I like the fresh smell.
Price - This was a little higher than average for deodorant but not too high.
Quality - Very high quality product. Application was smooth. There was no caking or anything like that, but this is what you would expect when there is no AP.
Scent - A very pleasant Lavender scent. Nice and soft, even if perhaps a little girly.
Efficacy - Controlled pit odor all day. No problems here.
Packaging - Simple turn and wipe applicator.
I have some serious issues with AP. When I use it, I get some sort of chemical burn under my arms that can only be treated by either not applying deodorant or using some sort of medicated body powder (ie Gold Bond.) I chose this expecting that I would not have to worry about it. I was wrong.
I currently use Old Spice High Endurance. The problem is that I find most deodorants to have to much of the same smell. As much as anything I wanted to get away from that.
After about an hour after the first use, my pits began to feel that old familiar burning sensation. Sure enough, when I checked myself out in the bathroom, my pits were bright red. After applying some Gold Bond for a few days, I decided to give it another go. I thought that perhaps I had some sort of residue under my arms that might have had a reaction. After a thorough bathing and rinsing of my pits, I tried it again. The burn came back almost immediately. I then tossed the product away.
I am currently using SCS deodorant.
I was happy with the quality of this product but it is not for me. I know that Tom's makes a sensitive skin formula but I have not seen it in the local markets. I think I will try that after I run out of Sue's deodorant. If all else fails, I can always go back to Old Spice.
