Schmidt's Natural Deodorant for Sensitive Skin - Lavender Tips, 3.25 ounces. Stick for Women and Men

This is a 2 part rating:The product itself: I'm a heavy "sweater" and was concerned that an all natural doeodarant with no antiperspirant would not hold me. I'm incredibly impressed and pleased with this product. I also didn't want a gel deodorant and this stick was perfect. My new go to!This seller has grossly overpriced this product by more than double! I was very disappointed to see this stick of deodorant in Wal-Mart!

I loved Schmidt's when it first came in the cute little jars. It was the only natural deodorant that lasted all day despite linited ingredients. I noticed they changed their packaging in the last couple years and at the same time I started getting rashes. At first I thought it was the baking soda so I switched to baking soda free but the rashes continued. I have since learned that they sold out to a large corporation around the same time the rashes started and I had noticed the packaging change. I don't know if it's cross-contamination from giant factories or just cheaper ingredients that are crappy but this deodorant is not the same amazing stuff that used to come out of one woman's kitchen in Portland. Don't buy it. Find a different brand.

As a previous wearer of clinical strength deodorant in the summer (regular the rest of the year), I have tried 15 (yes, FIFTEEN) different brands of natural deodorant ranging from Schmidt's to Pit Paste (Levels 1 and 2) to Alaffia to even highly rated products on Etsy, among very many. I have tried with baking soda and without baking soda, with fragrance and without fragrance, in a jar or in a stick. When I was most fed up I went back to my old trusty Dove and then found even that after a few months away from the conventional brands, even that had started to irritate me!Everything I tried caused problems-- darkened skin and itchy rashes with baking soda products, funk to no end with baking soda free products, you name it. And then I discovered this gem. Stick based natural deodorant from Schmidt's in Lavender scent. While it doesn't get through a full day of work AND a night sweating in bed (our room can get piping hot some nights), it DOES get me through a full day of work which is nothing short of a miracle. While it doesn't get through a full day of work AND a sweaty workout afterwards, it DOES get me through a full day of work which again is nothing short of a miracle.If you're sensing a pattern here, you're not wrong. This stick is strong and thickly pasted and scented enough for a full 12 hour day out of the house on a normal routine. BUT in the evening if you're headed to the gym or want to be floral fresh through the night or even just if it's been a particularly long and hot day, I do recommend another swipe-eroo! That said, if you're like me and would rather nix the aluminum and excess chemicals and just lightly re-apply after work if needed, then this is the right stick for you. The lavender scent is strong yet not overpowering once the deodorant is on and it gives good solid protection after wetness. No, it doesn't stop it in its tracks, but it definitely does more than just mask the musk.Thank you, Schmidt's! A stick that does just what a deodorant should-- keep the funk at bay and the chemicals away. I'm a happy camper.

I love the original Schmidt's. I love how it smells and I loved how it kept me dry and smelling fresh all day - HOWEVER my skin would get a rash after two days of using. I've tried a bunch of other natural deodorant with or without baking soda to attempt to find something that would be gentle on my sensitive skin and keep my pregnant BO away! After giving up and using my husband's Old Spice for now few days, I decided to do some research and found that Schmidt's had a sensitive formula! I have been using it for a few days and I am IMPRESSED. It smells fabulous. My skin is not irritated. I am moderately dry through out the day. In fact, it is a smoother consistency than the original - which I like better. I only have needed to apply once a day. It's great. Give up your money people. 😍
