Schmidt'sDeodorant Stick, Bergamot + Lime, 3.25 Ounce

This stuff is a game changer. I've been using a strong antiperspirant for as long as I can remember (Secret Platinum Protection). I was a sweaty kid and now I'm a sweaty adult and between tons of exercise (I'm currently in law enforcement academy) and taking stimulants throughout the day I definitely need a deodorant that can keep up with me. I've been trying to switch to a natural deodorant for a couple of years now for the health benefits but I've been disappointed each time. The best luck I had had up until this point was with Lavanila Laboratories' "The Healthy Deodorant", but every day I just felt like I was putting something that smelled good over my stinkiness and that it was a mask more than anything. I also sweated A LOT with every natural deodorant that I tried. I know, I know, armpits are supposed to sweat and that's how you release toxins yada yada - but this was overkill and it kept discouraging me from using them.I had almost given up on natural deodorants all together until I saw this Schmidt's stuff and thought I would give it one last shot at having happy healthy armpits. When it arrived, I was IN LOVE with the smell - kinda reminded me of a margarita. Not in a bad way like someone was going to think I had stuck away on my lunch break to have a few margaritas if they caught a whiff of it, but in a good way like the smell makes me think of sitting on a patio in beautiful weather and enjoying a drink. It's fresh and zesty.I decided I would start off slow and transition to this deodorant since I had had issues in the past with rashes with the natural stuff. I used it on the weekends at first and started using it every day about 2 weeks ago. I haven't had any rashes and I love that my armpits actually feel soft and healthy and not dry and shriveled up like my super strong chemical antiperspirant left them.Application is easy and it goes on smoothly. It dries quickly and doesn't leave you with that slimey gross feeling. I only have to apply it once in the morning on most days, but if I'm doing something extra strenuous I'll apply it again and it does the trick. I LOVE the fact that it magically allows me to sweat without drenching my clothes. And honestly, I don't even notice that I'm sweating. And I don't smell "funky with a hint of flowers" I just smell like that wonderful bergamot and lime scent which means I know the deodorant is really doing its job and not just masking my stink. I'm noticing that I sweat less and less the more I use it - I would imagine this is because my body is adjusting to it and not having to fight a strong antiperspirant to release whatever it needs to release (I'm no armpit scientist).I'm super pleased with this product and I'm really glad I decided to give natural deodorant another try. I'll probably try another one of the Schmidts scents, but I can't imagine being more pleased than I am with the bergamot + lime!

This is the best product.👍🏻I have ordered 3 times already.👍🏻 The product last for more than 5 months👍🏻It is very long lasting, Easily would last for a whole day.👍🏻 Smell is amazing. Not too overpowering not too subtle. Has an orangey citrus smell.👍🏻 Very neat and clean packaging.👍🏻Not antiperspirant so Yay.If it dries out your skin, then just apply a bit of moisturiser lotion/cream and then use the Schmidt.

This smells so fresh! Sure, it's expensive. But it's an honest product with no harmful substances and it actually works! It's just as effective as store bought deodorant sticks without the junk.

I wanted to give this product enough time to work before I wrote a review so here goes! I bought the Schmidt Natural Deodorant in Bergamot + Lime back in July because I wanted a more natural and healthy deodorant to use that also smelled nice. I read a bunch of reviews since I 1. Had never heard of Schmidts 2. Have never bought a natural product like this and 3. Read a crapload of reviews on any product I use these days. There were a few things that I noticed that were very different about this deodorant than what I've used for, well, the rest of my life.1. Slightly gritty texture - BUT ITS NOT A BAD THING! It feels like a little exfoliation party for your armpits, which I never thought would be enjoyable.2. Strong scent - but it's amazing! I love this combination of scents. There were, and still are, many times where I smell the fresh citrus scent and wonder where it's coming from. Even friends that were close to me asked me what perfume I was wearing because it smelled amazing.3. It WORKS. There is a couple weeks in the very beginning that you have to stick it out before it works perfectly. My body took about 10 days to adjust (read, I felt like I was barely wearing deodorant but with a quick second application halfway through the day, I was all good). After about the 10 day mark, there was no smell, and the deodorant lasts for 12 hrs for me (maybe more, but I'm not smelling my armpits in the middle of the night).Go try this - I love it and am about to reorder more. My biggest decision is to decide what scent to go with since I know they smell great! Worth the price in my opinion.

It is my fave stick and is available in India now though prohibitively expensive!
