Schmidt's Bergamot & Lime Deodorant - all-natural odor protection!

Schmidt's strikes again with an all-natural, non-toxic and effective deodorant!
Schmidt's Bergamot + Lime Deodorant

If you're looking for a non-toxic, aluminum free natural deodorant that actually works, Schmidt's is a must try! I previously ogled over Schmidt's Lavender + Sage Deodorant (click this link to read that review), and now I want to give a shout out to another of Schmidt's wonderful deodorants - this time in the "Bergamot and Lime" version. Since my previous Schmidt's review was about a product that contains lavender essential oil, an essential oil that many people have a sensitivity or allergy to, I wanted to make sure that people were aware of the various options Schmidt's has. Schmidt's deodorants come in five different scents (scented with all-natural essential oils, so no synthetic fragrances in these babies!), one of which is also a fragrance free version. All of the scents are really interesting and there's definitely something for everyone's picky scent preferences! Check out Schmidt's website for more information on all the deodorants offered.

Schmidt's Bergamot + Lime Deodorant has a wonderful, refreshing scent reminding me of a Mexican guacamole-making session, with squirts of lime perfuming the air! The additional bergamot scent is just enough to balance out that tartness of lime scent, also giving the deodorant a bit of a spicy edge to its overall scent profile! Bergamot essential oil and lime essential oil are both known for natural deodorizing properties, so it's a beautiful marriage of scents that actively work with the other odor-neutralizing ingredients to make this a super effective and long-lasting deodorant. Check out the full list of ingredients below:

Butyrospermum parkii (shea butter), Sodium bicarbonate (baking soda), Maranta arundinacea (arrowroot) powder, Theobroma cacao (cocoa) seed butter, Citrus bergamia (bergamot) essential oil, Citrus aurantifolia (lime) essential oil, Tocopherol (vitamin E), Humulus lupulus (hop) extract.

For those not familiar with Schmidt's deodorant - this is not a roll-on deodorant. This deodorant is applied by scooping up the thick, paste-like formula from the 2 oz. glass jar that it comes in, using an enclosed plastic mini spatula. The user then takes about a 1 to 2 pea size amount and rubs it into the armpit. I have read some reviews in which the reviewer complains about having to apply the deodorant this way, but personally I don't mind it. The paste is a dry paste that smells lovely, and it absorbs quickly and easily. And, honestly, wouldn't you rather use this natural deodorant over aluminum-ridden, carcinogenic, pore blocking, popular brand name deodorants?

This blog is meant to be a helpful tool for people who are looking to switch to natural cosmetics, but who don't know where to start. I post reviews and articles about products that have worked well for me personally. Hopefully these articles are helpful to my readers, in helping them choose makeup and skincare that are toxin-free and all-natural!
