Real Stories - Switching to a Natural Deodorant

By Smart Marketing

When switching from a traditional antiperspirant to a natural deodorant for the first time, some people experience a short transition period where they sweat a little more or find that they smell a little different. This is a natural detoxification process, affecting some people but not others.

To provide some insight into switching from a traditional deodorant or antiperspirant to a natural alternative, we’ve spoken to our long-term customer and lifestyle blogger Fifi Friendly.

Why did you choose to switch to a natural deodorant?

A few reasons. Better for my skin and genuinely curious after reading about it online.

How long have you been using natural deodorant for?

7 years!

Did you experience a ‘detox’ period when switching to natural deodorant? If so, what was your experience like & how long did it last for?

Really not that long. A few days at most.

Was the detox period worth it?

Totally!

What makes Salt of the Earth deodorant one of your favourites?

It works, smells great, and doesn’t irritate my skin like some other natural deodorant brands. I like that I can use the Crystal Deodorant straight from the shower! I also love that you can refill the sprays.

My kids now use Salt of the Earth deodorants. My rugby-loving son likes the Amber & Sandalwood scent, and my daughter loves the Melon & Cucumber scent, it’s so fresh!
