CARLY REVIEWS VANILLA COCONUT:

It’s going on over 6 years now that I have been trying various brands of natural deodorant. I have tried countless different formulas with varying scents, and have never found any as effective (nor with a better fragrance) as “The Healthy Deodorant,” by LaVanila Laboratories.

I have been using “The Healthy Deodorant” for close to a month now, and have already put it to some extreme tests. The most noteworthy of these “tests” being putting it on first thing in the morning (8:00 a.m.) and then going on about a busy and very active day—which included cycling up a mountain, and then coming home and quickly changing my clothes (no shower—didn’t have time!!!), so that I could relieve my babysitter…by now it is 2:00 p.m. and guess what??  No under arm odor!! AMAZING! And, this was not just one of those random days where maybe I just didn’t sweat as much, or didn’t smell as much for some reason—I have repeated this particular “test” multiple times now, among many other just-as-active days, and still no under arm odor!! Up until now, I have had to keep an emergency stash of aluminum and chemical ridden deodorants in my cabinet for those times that I could not chance being smelly!

I am absolutely thrilled to have discovered "The Healthy Deodorant!" Finding a natural and effective deodorant has been a topic of discussion and conversations with many girlfriends, book club gatherings, and with the poor souls who work in the health and beauty section at Whole Foods, whom I have tortured with my questions about natural deodorants for years! (No exaggeration). I cannot tell you what a relief it is to find a natural deodorant that really and truly works! I am in love with this deodorant--I love how wonderful it smells, and I love the cool and refreshing feeling when applying it.
