Erica Brooke's Natural Deodorant Review

Hello there!! I'm finally back after procrastinating for so long. It's been real long since I've posted and sucky wifi doesn't really help with my consistency :( Enough with excuses, let's jump right in!

When I was 12, my puberty package came and it was a bloody mess, forehead full of pimples, growing forests and freaking BODY ODOUR ( yes, the boobs in the package got lost at midst of the shipping ). It was dreadful and till this day, I do still have BO unfortunately. I tried tons of home remedies like baking soda or coconut oil but it still won't go away because it's in my genes *cries*. So, I stuck to using deodorant / antiperspirant everyday to ensure I still have friends hahhahha.

Y'all probably heard of the conventional deodorant / antiperspirant, Nivea, Rexona and any other brand that is sold in Watsons. Most of them, if not all of them contain aluminium chloride that is an active ingredient in most antiperspirants. It helps prevent the production of sweat, which in other words, blocks your sweat glands from excreting toxins. And so, it is believed that the usage of these products can lead to breast cancer.

So, my sister hooked me up with this deodorant because she told me that it holds up really well ( we both got the stinky genes ) and she gave me a jar of it.

It has the consistency of cream but a bit sandy. It smells like flowers, but not those artificial flowery smell, but real ass flowers. If you put it in a cold room, it becomes harder, might be the coconut oil that solidifies.

OKAY REVIEW, the first time I used it was when I was going on a flight and let me tell you, it survived the whole way!! I had no idea how because I was carrying my luggage around and at the end of the day I didn't want to cut my armpit off! After that day, I had some intense days where I realized it didn't last me as long as normal days but I guess it was the "halo" effect that made me let that slide off. I need to note that after about 10 hours of wearing it, i have to reapply it to make sure I don't chase people around me away. So, before I would always have small bumps around my underarm area and it turn to rashes on some days. But after using this deodorant, there are no more small bumps and they no longer itch. I'm pretty sure it is because of the change of deodorant because this never happened after changing deodorants. So I guess this is the real deal breaker for me.

Compared to store-bought deodorants, it is quite pricey because it is about RM60 for 70 g jar BUT I've been using it for 6 months and only a quarter is gone. It's actually from a Australian company but you can purchase it online from this website : https://tulin-asia.myshopify.com/products/e01-deodorant-creme-neroli-vanilla

So if you're a frequent deodorant users and is concern about the effects of using deodorants that contain a nasty cocktail of aluminium, petroleum bi products and synthetic fragrances, you can really consider this because it really does hold up well. And if you have small rashy bumps ( comment if you do because I think I'm the only one here ;(( ), you can try this out!

Btw, this was not a paid review! ( I wish it was haahahha give me free stuff and I'll promote it for you hahha jk hahha not really I like free stuff ) which means it is as honest as it can get. And to those who have BO like me, I feel your struggles and it just sucks because it's not even our fault *sigh*. Hope you guys like this post and feel free to comment or dm me on Instagram! You can tell me if you want me to write about any topic too :)
