Cape Fear NaturalsEucalyptus Natural Deodorant Stick (2.5oz Stick - Aluminum Free - Preservative Free)

This review is written on Cape Fear Naturals "Eucalyptus Deodorant".First off, I have sensitive pits...I cannot use products with aluminun or most/any off the shelf type deodorants or anitperspirants in general. So over the past couple of years I began the great trial by fire of the all natural deodorants and more boutique product lines that I could find.I am pretty picky about my products and I do not have issue trying more pricey options if they work better. I have used the Malin +Goetz Eucalyptus Deodorant, Clinique Skin Supplies for Men Antiperspirant Deodorant Stick , Anothony Logistics for Men, Men's Science Advance Deodorant, Jason's, Tom's of Maine, Burt's Bees, etc. Many of these products do work rather well.Malin + Goetz's Eucalyptus product works well and is one of my favorites but I have always had problems with the stick breaking rather early (mid stick early) which is a little enfuriating with an 18 dollar price tag. No problems with skin irritation or odor issues.Clinique Skin Supplies for Men Antiperspirant Deodorant Stick works extremely well and is also an antiperspirant for around 17 dollars plus shipping. Good product, again no irritation and good odor control. Stick does not break and it can be found at department stores though it is even more pricey at these locales.Anthony's Logostics for Men's deodorant stick was a tad bit harsh for my skin and while I like the light scent to it, it never really seemed to provide good long lasting odor protection. If I used the product for extended amount of time...usually around the week mark I would start to see my under arms getting a bit irritated.In the "all natural" realm for products:Jason's all natural tea tree scent and aloe scent sticks worked well for me though the odor protection wasn't always there. I would recommend this product as I have had particularily good luck with the Tea Tree scent. It is also easier to find off the shelf in some vitamin shops.The Tom's of Maine and Burt Bees line never seemed to last for me in the odor protection department and needed a reapply after lunch.So after delaying a bit on trying the lower priced option of Cape Fear Naturals due mainly to the fact there were no reviews on it....the real winner after much trial and error has been the Cape Fear Natural Eucalyptus Deodorant (for me)...I have never had any problems with skin irritation using this product (it seems to help my skin in fact) and I have no problem with odor popping up during the day. The scent comes off a little strong when you first apply it but settles quickly. Some of the other natural deodorant companies seem to need a reapply around midday as I mentioned but this product just lasts and lasts even with moderate sweating in a hot enviroment. The product goes on well, a little slimy to start but dries quickly with a nice refreshing scent for your morning that does dissapates quickly...all for 3.95 (plus shipping) here on Amazon.com.So, there are some good options coming out now for those of use with skin allergies to aluminium or strong scented deodorant products. There are some good (pricier) boutique options to choose from and but if you are looking for a great product that just works, is less expensive, and reliable....in my opinion a good contender is right here with Cape Fear Naturals Eucalptus for a quarter/third of the price.

If you are trying to find a deodorant that won't cause your underarms to break out in terrible rashes due to your body's allergic reaction to the irritating chemicals found in common deodorants and antiperspirants, then your search may finally be over.A couple of years ago I developed an allergy to the deodorant/anti-perspirant I had been using for years. Rashes, intense itching, welts and swelling would result whenever I tried other popular brand deodorants and antiperspirants found in grocery and drug stores. Even the brands that claim that their product is 100% natural, hypoallergenic, and irritant-free always end up irritating my underarms. I'm happy to report that my underarms don't break out from using this product. This is the one and only deodorant that I can safely use without suffering any negative effects.

As other reviewers have noted, the eucalyptus scent dissipates almost instantly after applying. If you want to smell like eucalyptus, this product is not what you're looking for. More importantly, as a deodorant it is unimpressive. I have better results from any of the mass-merchadised deodorants like Old Spice. Bottom line: this deodorant does none of what I wanted it to do. I recommend avoiding it.

not that good

My husband was having problems with all of his deodorant making his skin red and raw. I bought this hoping that it's "natural" ingredients wouldn't be so harsh. Unfortunately it did the same thing and the smell is quite pungent in a not nice way. He's actually using my brand, I won't say the name because it's a "secret" in a less feminine fragrance and that is working wonderfully. So if you're having the same problems try that.

Smell like our friends down under and it's a bit sticky. This deodorant certainly works better than the hemp. It can be a bit irritating to the skin as well. It also contains most of the same ingredients you find in other deodorants, but less quality.

Has a bit of a strong odor. Great ingredients, though

Very light very cooling
