Green Tidings Natural SENSITIVE SKIN Deodorant, Calendula & Sage (1 Ounce)

I've only been using this product for a few days, but so far I'm really happy with it. I tend to be on the sweaty side (I think), and I've been using natural deodorants for 4-5 years, including making my own. After developing the rashes to baking soda and even arrowroot powder (or possibly interactions with essential oils), I started looking for gentle versions available commercially. I've used Schmidts sensitive, Kopari, Real Purity, and a few others. I can deal with a bit of wetness since that is natural, but even some "sensitive" formulations caused a rash, and none of these would leave me smelling fresh at the end of the day. Green Tidings (so far) has been the most effective at minimizing odor, and has not caused the painful rash. I purchased the small size as a test, and if it continues this will become my go-to deodorant. My only critique is that I'd personally like a little more scent, but obviously that is a personal preference. In case it helps, I loved the smell of Kopari but it wasn't as effective at odor prevention (and could feel a little slimy sometimes), Real Purity was great until summer came along, and Schmidts is overall a good solution but some of their sensitive versions still caused a rash which made me nervous- the formulation is also a little sticky feeling when wearing.

I LOVE this deodorant and the price is worth it--it absolutely works, it is safe and natural, and has a mild smell that does not clash with my other products. I have eczema and it does not irritate my skin in any way--in fact, the calendula and sage are quite moisturizing and soothing. I was skeptical at first, but I have been using this for months now and it is totally effective for me. Will buy again.

Update 12/2020: I went back to Schmidt’s. I was good for a couple months or so and then developed a rash again so had to switch back to green tidings sensitive deodorant without the baking soda. While my rash has since healed, I’m noticing that over time this deodorant seems to be less and less effective against odor. It also seems to build up a film on my armpits that is not easily removed. I now have to resort to scrubbing my armpits with dial soap, then loofah them with my regular shower gel every morning. I feel like this deodorant is causing odor. I never really had a problem before with odor. I know I never had to scrub or pay this much attention to my armpits before. I’m not an overly active person either. It’s not like I’m working out or running. I sadly had to switch to this brand because I developed an allergic reaction to Schmidt’s. I used Schmidt’s for a year before I developed my first rash from it. Prior to Schmidt’s, I was using the regular unscented version of Green Tidings for a couple years. I switched from Green Tidings to Schmidt’s because it was so gloppy, and ruined my clothes. Because of the texture, a lot of the product was wasted. I’m so disappointed that Schmidt’s turned on me. I loved that deodorant. I’m back here purchasing the regular Green Tidings deodorant to see if it works any better than the sensitive skin one as far as odor protection, and film build up. I don’t remember a film build up with the regular brand, just the sliminess and how it ruined my clothes. The sensitive skin one has not caused a rash, and allowed my rash to heal but it’s not very effective anymore. It seemed to be at first but over time is failing and making situation worse. I’m at the point of switch back to commercial deodorant.02/2020:I prefer Schmidt’s quality, protection, cost and scent wise but every once in a while I start to build an allergic reaction to Schmidt’s and have to switch to Green Tidings. It does well for odor protection. Lasts about 10 hours before needing to be reapplied. Whereas Schmidt’s lasts over 24 hours. It Glides on nicely, smoother than most. Doesn’t have any scent really. Great if you are allergic to baking soda. I’ve tried a dozen or so different natural deodorants (Humble, toms, etc) and this one is the only one that works okay and doesn’t cause any irritation. My only issue Is that the product melts easily which ends up being wasteful. I also think it is way too expensive compared to how long Other deodorants last. A three ounce stick of this deodorant will last a month or so were as a stick of Schmidt’s will last 2-3 months. Grossly overpriced at $15. Especially given the minimal ingredients. I will use for now but the search continues for an effective natural deodorant that isn’t manufactured by a greedy company.04/2020 Thankfully after using this for a few weeks I am able to switch back to Schmidt’s.

After using the unscented original version for about a year or so, I began to get a painful rash under my arms that made the area very dark. I figured it was most likely the baking soda, so I tried this version.The sensitive skin deodorant has not given me a rash so far, however I find it is not as good at odor control as the original. I find myself having to reapply midday or else I will start to smell a bit (didn't have this issue with the original one at all). To remedy this I have been applying the sensitive skin, then adding a tiny bit of the original on top of that. I find that this has been working to control odor yet not give me a rash *fingers crossed*.

I originally used the lavender version of this deodorant, which worked like a charm. But eventually I developed a pretty bad rash. My mom uses this scent with no issues so I decided to give it a try. I love it! No more rash and I do not smell. Sometimes if I am working up a sweat then I have to reapply, but that is to be expected with most natural deodorants. I am very happy with this product

I’ve been using it for a couple of years now. It’s great! Love that it’s a healthy option for an antiperspirant, but also happy that it actually works. Great product!

I discontinued use of aluminum antiperspirants about 8 years ago. Green Tidings Lavender scent has been the only thing that stopped my underarm order, and have been a customer for years. I have tried a LOT of the popular natural deodorants with no success (and threw a lot of $$ down the drain). The Green Tidings regular lavender can sometimes be irritating to my skin, so I thought I would try this. Did. Not. Work. After a few hours, the body order smell is worse than my own natural no-deodorant smell (that is often the case with any deodorants that don't work... I smell worse than with nothing at all). Also bought the small Jasmine and am worried I'll have the same problem.... but it's not worth the shipping cost to return it even though I didn't open it. I'm trying lemons now... if that doesn't work then I'll be back to the GT lavender and will just continue to deal with the occasional irritation
