Rustic MAKA Natural Deodorant, Takes Two To Mango (Mango + Lime), Free of Aluminum, Baking Soda & Parabens, Activated Charcoal + Magnesium, Continuous Odor Control

I have super sensitive skin and have a hard time with a lot of deodorant. This deodorant was amazing through pregnancy and postpartum sweats.

I learned about this product through healthillie and I wasn’t to try more scents so I went searching on Amazon. I’m the kind of person who gets armpit sweat my whole life and I couldn’t find anything that helped besides detoxing my pits. But when I found this deodorant that has the benzonite clay in it and it smells fresh all day I was sold! There’s no staining, I smell great all day during the work day. And I’ve been breastfeeding for the last year and it’s been a life saver through the AZ summer. I can’t say anything more positive about this brand of deo.

Yes, I'm yet one more long-time non-toxic product user who has forever been on the hunt for a deodorant that works. And doesn't rely on baking soda, which can cause a rash.Deodorant being such a personal preference kind of thing, what works for me may not work for you. But having tried most versions (under the $22 price point) and made a few of my own in the kitchen, I know how tough it is to find that magic combo of temperature stable oils, odor reducing elements and non-offensive scents. And Rustic MAKA really seems to have hit on the right version. My only wish would be for an even more "neutral scent" or unscented version in the activated charcoal blend. I'd willingly be a tester if they did! :-)Haven't used it in the hottest summer months yet but so far, its such an excellent product. And for anyone griping about it being "dry" –– just hold it against your skin for 15 seconds before swiping, that's all the body heat you need to make it pliant to apply.

I absolutely loved the scent of this deodorant!! It is definitely on the sweet side, almost like candy. Without a doubt the best smelling natural deodorant I've tried so far (out of probably 10). I wish I could give it a better review otherwise though.Mine was *very* soft and thick, almost like body butter, and so I would often use too much force, out of habit, and it would squish too much ALL over my armpit. This was made worse by the fact that it is a gray color, making it look like I had very pigmented underarms. I ended up having to sort of pat/splotch it on. I tried putting it in the fridge to firm up but then I couldn't even get the top open. I would've been willing to endure all that, except for me this only kept body odor at bay for half a day, or less with lots of physical activity.I really wanted to like this one but it just didn't work out for me. I'll have to keep trekking in my quest for an effective natural deodorant.

After trying several natural deodorants, I'm pleased to say I finally found one that works well. No odor, no irritation, no problem! This scent is also my favorite thus far. Mango Lime smells fresh and a bit like fruit candy...not an overpowering scent though. I believe the charcoal/magnesium blend really provides long-lasting odor control. I haven't tried this with a heavy workout yet, but it worked well on a summer day of walking and running errands. Honestly though, if I would ever need to reapply once during the day, I wouldn't find it problematic because it still smells nice and doesn't feel greasy. Plus, it's a relief to use a deodorant that doesn't contain harmful ingredients or possible irritants. Rustic MAKA also offers other scents in their baking soda free deodorants. I'll be trying those soon.

Smells good, but stains clothes. Works ok, on par with other aluminum free deodorants.

Favorite scent

The product works well at masking odor and controlling sweat. It has a nice scent that isn't overwhelming and doesn't radiate off your body. it doesn't take much to provide coverage, so one tube lasts about 6 months. While it is pricey compared to typical deoderant, it breaks down to about $3 a month.
