Little Seed Farm - Deodorant Cream Samples, 2 Pack -Activated Charcoal

I love this stuff. I couldn’t decide on a scent, so I bought this sampler. Here’s my take: cucumber and jasmine scents are VERY mild, no more than a generic bar of soap. Rosemary Patchouli is wonderful if you like patchouli, which I do—just enough scent so you get a whiff when dressing or undressing. Grapefruit is pleasantly candy-like, like Smarties. Lavender is nice but pretty mild. My favorite was the charcoal! It has a nice citrusy scent, not overpowering, just very clean. It also seems to last the longest. It’s a bit of an adjustment to get personal with your armpits—instead of just swiping a bar of chemicals across them, you need to gently massage this stuff in after every shower, while your skin is still moist. I did have a “detox” reaction (just in one armpit) where it released some strong BO stench on the third day. But since then, I feel good knowing I can control odor so easily, without chemicals. And although it’s more expensive than the chemical stuff, a little goes a long way. Each packet lasted at least four days, even with twice-daily application on some days. I’m saving the unscented one for my travel bag. If you’re undecided, you can’t go wrong with the Charcoal kind.

Can't believe I didn't notice the exorbitant shipping charge before I hit "order". Now I'm out the almost 5 bucks for this and I can only use 3 of them. One is lavender which is a hormone disruptor and I can't use that since I had a hormone fed breast cancer. I do not recommend anyone using lavender in their arm pits. It's probably just as dangerous as using aluminum. Another is patchouli scent and I can't stand the smell of it. I've never been a fan of patchouli.So I ended up paying 5 bucks for 3 tiny samples of deodorant.

This is the most effective deodorant I've ever used. For many years I have used an antiperspirant even though i didn't feel good about it because of the aluminum in it. But standard deodorants I tried were of no help. I tried many kinds, including natural ones, with no success. I found one natural cream which worked great. I used a sample tin and then ordered more. Shortly after starting the new jar I developed a rash in both armpits, extremely itchy and somewhat painful. Instead of deodorant, I had to use anti-itch cream until the rash went away. Turns out I was allergic to baking soda, a common ingredient in natural deodorants. I searched for one with none. Of the ones I found, this one from Little Seed Farm had the best reviews. I ordered it and I'm so glad I did. I have very little sweat and no odor. I started out getting a sample pack of all 7 scents. I liked all but the lavender and the charcoal (which is peppermint scented) I chose the cucumber, which I love. Unscented would be my next choice.The jars come with a small wooden paddle, like a very small popsicle stick, which caused a lot of negative comments from reviewers, ie: could cause splinters, too small, worthless and some just threw it away. I love that little paddle. I don't believe it's meant for application but to get the cream out of the jar. I use the paddle to scoop out a small amount - about pea sized - transfer that to my finger and apply to the armpit. That's much better that getting it under your fingernails and potentially transferring bacteria into the jar.I would highly recommend this product for anyone. I love it!

I LOVE this little sample pack! Only reco I would have is to always include an unscented sample. That's really the one I wanted to try. I got Lavender, Grapefruit/Lemon, Patchouli Rosemary and the Charcoal. First off I noticed how powdery dry the paste was- not sticky at all. Then I noticed how natural the fragrance is. For instance, a lot of products have lavender scent but this one smelled like i had a bouquet of lavender flowers up to my nose- very earthy. Loved it. I think of those, my fave is the grapefruit/lemon. Such a delightful combo! However, I will probably still end up with the unscented so it doesn't clash with anything else I might be wearing. I liked the charcoal too but slightly too masculine scent for my taste and gave it to my brother. He loves it too. I've tried so many natural deodorant sticks and I end up throwing them away because I can't stand the stickiness. I don't get that at all with any of these samples. I'll definitely be ordering a full size. I have been using toxic deodorant/antiperspirant for most of my life so it will take time getting used to the perspiring but hopefully that will reduce as I detox. I do notice that the sweat doesn't stink though so these work! If not sure to go straight in to a jar, try the samples! Great idea- and great company name :)

A natural deodorant that works! I'm on my second of the four sample packs and am loving it so far! I am late in pregnancy and my hormone surges are giving me hot flashes and sweats like crazy and this deodorant stands up to that challenge, keeping me dry and odor free. The creams have a very pleasant smell but it doesn't stick with you all day and it's not so strong that it would compete with a perfume. I don't know what the issue is with application and why that weirds people out? The product in the packets is a bit firm but melts with the heat of your fingers. It goes on smooth and absorbs dry, leaving the feel of a more traditional stick deodorant but without the residue. I will definitely be purchasing this product!
