Ben&Anna Natural Soda Deodorant - 100% Aluminium Free Deodorant Cruelty Free Vegan NATRUE-certified with Organic Shea Butter and Bicarbonate Of Soda Made in Germany - Pink Grapefruit - 60g

After much googling, I finally settled on this for my first plastic free deodorant - and so far, so good! The packaging looks lovely and the deodorant smells lovely. More importantly, it works!!! I’ve used it during the hottest periods of the year and it has left me smell free and bone dry. Very happy! (I used to use Mitchum). Only negatives - the tubes are not big and the amount of deodorant inside each is not much. I’ve bought the mandarin one too and both seemed to be only half to three quarters full, and for almost £10, that’s a disappointment. The other negative is that the top of the cardboard tube gets caked in deodorant and then breaks down. It’s not the most robust packaging. Will I continue to use? Yes for now!!! However if I was on a tighter budget, I would need to think very carefully about it. Sustainability should not be just for the middle classes - I just wish these products were more affordable.

Pros - smells lovely - packaging is 100% cardboard Cons - does nothing to stop odour. It might even make me smell worse? I’m a sweaty person so I wasn’t expecting all-day protection, but I feel like I might as well wear zero deodorant - really hard to push up to get more product. I have to melt it with the hairdryer every time Also really irritates my skin, but that’s not a problem everyone will have. Tried it for a month and it never got any better.

I have bought this from stores in the past and enjoyed the dryer texture and natural fragrance. However this item is too dry and there is a smell you can get with old cosmetics and the faintest hint only of tangerine. Disappointed. * updated a few days later. Once you get get past the outer shell, better quality product and fragrance is revealed, so happier and adding a star.

I really put this deodorant to the test when it arrived - I had been ill in bed with a virus and used it after a day I couldn’t get out of bed. I was very surprised at how effective it was freshening me up and neutralising odour. I felt a lot less grotty immediately. I’ve since been using it under more normal circumstances and it’s amazingly effective. It’s a bit different textured when applying it - but once you get used to how best to put it on it feels great. I will never go back to using chemical laden deodorants after this. It is expensive but it is worth it!

This is a nice product that works well but is a little too hard to use if you have sensitive armpits. The stick is pretty hard so works best if applied slowly to give the top time to heat up a little for easier applying. However if I have just shaved I still find it a little sore when applying. It does flake off a little around the top as well so you do end up with little bits falling off on the floor. The product itself does work well and smells nice, it could just do with being a little softer.

This is a great product. Both my partner and I use it, and this is the second one we have bought in the space of a few months. Which bodes well for people who are looking for something that lasts a while. I also like the fact it is made of cardboard and can be recycled. And of course the most important thing is the smell. The smell it's self lasts a while, and is great. I would say it is usable by all genders, and doesn't really fall in the usually binary scent marketing category.

Smells nice and a good step forward with packaging that's mainly paper. However, there is still a plastic film over the paper which somewhat defeats the purpose. Unfortunately, when applied it does not smooth over your skin, but crumbles apart and leaves horrible clumps of residue. The packaging also disintegrates quickly, leaving you with a frayed mess. Overall it is not an effective deodorant and not worth the money. There are better plastic-free alternatives out there.

It has a divine scent and works better than almost any other deodorant I've used (and I've tried a LOT). This is even more amazing considering all the ingredients are natural. I live in the tropics and it stops me sweating - this is saying a lot! Also love that it's vegan and plastic-free - the product and the ethics behind it makes this an outstanding product - couldn't recommend enough.

I'm always looking for perfume-free products. Great plastic-free design. Great perfume-free variant. Very disappointing that it causes skin burn. Straight to the trash can after 3 days.

Artikel kwam kapot aan, lag uit elkaar en wat nog erger is dat er niet eens 60gr in zat, zoals geadverteert. Het is ook heel droog en valt uit elkaar. 1 ster voor plasticvrije verpakking.

Buonissima profumazione, buona durata. Un po’ scomodo da applicare ma prodotto valido

No se si aún no se utilizarlo bien pero he pasado del piedra de alumbre a esto y no aguanto ni medio día. Doy 5 estrellas porque el producto seguro que es bueno y el totalmente natural hasta el envase libre de plásticos.

Compro este desodorante por su envalaje de cartón en vez de plastico. El ároma me gusta y funciona como desodorante.
