The best way to stay fresh all day is to eliminate odor at its source. Organic Ethanol stops odor-causing bacteria at its source. Blended with pure organic essential oils, these effective deodorant sprays are the perfect way to stay fresh and clean, organically.

LAVENDER – Organic Ethanol, Purified Water, EO Essential Oil Blend [Organic Lavandula Angustifolia (Lavender) Oil, Organic Lavandula Hybrida Oil].
Ok, so these obviously all have different scent profiles on some level, but overall – the Lavender Essential Oil in each one tends to really stand out for me – leaving just a hint of Vetiver, Citrus, Tea Tree, or whatever. I wish it were reversed.
Wet for a few seconds until it air dries – then feels like it’s barely there.
Comes in a recycled blue spray bottle, with a tightly-fitting cap.
- That it’s USDA certified organic.
- Reasonably priced.
- Easy to find in some of my local supermarkets like Whole Foods, or on Amazon.
- Not sticky or greasy! 🙌🏼 YAY!
- Pretty blue plastic bottles.
- Tightly fitting caps.
- May sting if used after shaving {because there’s alcohol in it}, however it stings less than most other natural brands.
- All I smell is the Lavender in the formulas – wish they smelled more like the advertised scents.
My Experience
Since I know deodorant / antiperspirant is one of the things people usually want to swap out first – it’s important to note that, these are natural deodorants… meaning, they deodorize… which won’t block or clog your sweat glands + stop you from sweating like antiperspirants will. They’ll actually allow your body to detox… the way it nature intended it to. By sweating. Nothing glam about that, I know.
Now that you know what to expect… I’ll just get right to it! These actually work well for me, so – I almost always have one in my stash. I love the fact that they’re fairly easy to find in stores, + pretty reasonably priced – especially for a certified organic product.
The only real issue I have is that deodorant sprays like these, that are made with grain alcohol – can sting if you use them right after shaving {owwwwweeee!}. It just kinda comes with the territory with this particular type of product, in general. So, to remedy that – I use Bubble + Bee Organic’s Sensitive Skin Cream Deo first, right after shaving / showering, + then use these as my later-on / in-between, go-to… if I need one. And 2-3 sprays usually does the trick!
Now, you’ll probably never hear me say that I’m happy to see water in a formula {like, ever}, but in this case… I’m thankful. While these still can sting a bit {on freshly shaved skin}, they probably don’t sting as much as some other natural brands might, because these aren’t just straight-up alcohol {which can burn like a MoFo!}… which brings me to my next point…
For Cancer Survivors who probably want to jump right into using an organic deodorant {been there!}, I thought I’d mention that if you’ve recently had surgery in an area close to your under-arms {like Breast Cancer / Lymph Nodes removed, etc.} I’d hold-off on using a product like this {that contains alcohol}… until I’ve healed for at least a few months first, + try an organic stick or cream deo in the mean time. Just wanted to throw that out there!
Love EO’s packaging on these… pretty, blue, recycled plastic bottles – another thing you won’t hear me say often as I usually avoid most plastic due to hormone disruptors. However, I’m not fan of glass in the bathroom for my bath + body products {skin care is another story}. The cap snaps on pretty tightly too, which is FAB. So they’re easy to travel with if you have to {also check out their NEW Certified Organic Deodorant Wipes}!
As far as the scents go… as I mentioned above, I wish these smelled a bit more like what they say they’re supposed to. I mean, you do get a hint of the advertised scents, but I just wish it were more distinct. For example – on the Citrus, I’m thinking along the lines of: Lemon, Orange, Lime, Grapefruit. Instead, all I really smell is the Lavender. And, when I think of Lavender… I’m generally not thinking “Fresh”. So, that wouldn’t usually be my first scent of choice for a deodorant {love it in my bathtub or on my pillow though}. However, lots of people like it + although I wish it were different, its not a really deal breaker for me. And, while were on the topic – I’d also love to see a touch of Spearmint or Peppermint in the Tea Tree one too – which I’ve only ever tried once. My local stores seem to only ever carry the other 3 scents, for some reason. Out of all of them, my body chemistry does best with the CLEAN {Citrus}, CHILL {Tea Tree}, + COOL {Vetiver}… in that order. The FRESH {Lavender} one, not so much.
All in all, I’d definitely re-purchase these, + have several times, so check them out if you get a chance!
