Talk about crumblefest!
I usually use Tom's of Maine, which I'm happy with, but I wanted to test the waters again and try something new. Organic, vegan deodorant is a bit of a Wild West I've found, in terms of quality, and I keep hoping things will become more consistent. Penny Lane - in particular, Penny Lane Organics Natural Deodorant Pink Grapefruit - was another step back and a total letdown. Talk about crumblefest! Omg! This deodorant went verywhere except my pits! Come on, Penny Lane. This couldn't have been more of a fail on the bare-minimum deodorant front - a big clean-up job, I lost a significant percentage of the deodorant brick on first use, and it was problematic to close once opened - the lid and container don't seem to like each other. Difficult to twist up after opening as well - I thought I was never going to get there, and when I did: crumblefest. The most crumble ever. Yikes. Did it smell good? Yah. It did. Big whoop.
Update: First time trying this product. I get up from my work seat to go and make a drink and I see mortifying deodorant crumbles all over the chair!!!! Big crumbles! Seriously? Fascinating in its disappointment. Never had that before.
Amazing natural deodorant!
This is the only natural deodorant I've tried (and I've tried a lot of them) that actually works. It has a nice rose scent that stays all day and it's quite effective even on hot summer days. There's a bit of a learning curve to apply it but, once you get the hang of it, it's so easy to use. It also lasts forever so it's a much better value than it appears at first glance.
Love it! The Pink Grapefruit is my absolute favorite, but also loved the Tea Tree/ Lemon. I thought it was a little pricey on first look, but when I got the deodorant, I realized that they actually FILL the WHOLE container. Compared to the average deodorant sold in this size container, this one literally has TWICE as much product! Which is ridiculous when you think about, why do these other companies use such large containers if they will only fill them half way? Well this one is PACKED to the brim! Less waste, more product. Smells great, works great - just follow the instructions. There are no binders or fillers, my Pink Grapefruit deodorant stick is made with only FOUR ingredients, so it will crumble if you don't follow the instructions.
Penny Lane Organics ALL NATURAL deodorants are winner! This product actually works. I have been trying for years to find something that works at all natural, not natural and even going to try a medicated deodorant and thank goodness I found this before I went that route. The lemons and lime smells incredible but unfortunately gave me and my daughter a reaction, all the other scents have been fine. The rose deodorant is elegant and such a beautiful smell, this is by far my favourite scent. It would be great to see more options for the males. I love the free shipping if purchase is above $50. It would be nice to get a discount coupon for continued patronage and referrals!
Looooove Penny Lane Rose deodorant because it has such a sensual scent. I also have their unscented one which I use when I want to wear a specific perfume and don't want different scents to "collide". Great price for such a wonderful product and fast shipping (and FREE). They even wrapped it in a white wrapping paper which I really liked.
I found this rose scented deodorant at our local store (company was demoing it) and I couldn't believe the scent. It has rich rose scent but it's still very light and fresh and it's the most feminine scented deodorant I ever tried. Lady that was demoing it said it will last a year so it's obviously worth every penny. She showed me how to use it because it doesn't have stuff that other deodorants do (fillers?) and if not used correctly it could start to crumble. So far I have no complaints of any kind. I've been using it for 3 days and I absolutely love it.
My all time favourite! Works absolutely amazing. It's the only natural deodorant that works for me, and I tried gazillion of them and wasted tons of money on deodorants that didn't work. It was tricky at first though until my friend showed me how to use it (I admit I didn't read the instructions heh). The key is to push it up just over the edge of the container or it can break. I was told it's because there is no binder to hold it together and becuase it's 100% natural. Now this is VERY IMPORTANT to me since I have a family history of breast cancer and I don't want to use any deodorant that has chemicals in it. My girls are getting to the point where they are starting to need it too (specially with this warm muggy weather we've been having) and I feel good about sharing my deodorant with them. I wouldn't let them use anything else. I used it even after the jogging by applying it right over my sweaty armpits and man does it ever make me feel good and smell good! I've been telling everyone at work and all my friends about it. I think that lady that hated it didn't read the instructions. I say that because I know I didn't either since we all "know" how to use a deodorant :-)
Absolutely love this deodorant. It's all natural so I don't have to worry about chemicals in my body or aluminum, etc. It smells like freshly cut pink grapefruit - perfect for hot summer days. It never failed me. I've done HOT YOGA and after the class my armpits still smelled clean and fresh. At first sight the price seemed to be a bit on a high end especially for my student budget but when the sales lady at the Big Carrot told me it's twice the weight of other deodorants in the same container and that it will last 2-3 times longer than other deodorants on the shelf then I realized it's a bargain actually. My boyfriend loves their Pine deodorant and my mom uses unscented and we're all very happy with it. I must mention that it took us few days to get used to it because it can crumble if it's not used correctly. Lady at The Big Carrot showed me how to use it and I never had any issues with it. I like using it slightly wet and that I was told also prevents it from drying out and crumbling. Strongly recommended to everyone. Also Canadian product for those who care.
