One of the necessities of life once you hit puberty is deodorant. I have tried many kinds over the years, but now, since I am vegan, I have had to look even closer at the deodorant I use.

For years, I have made sure to use deodorant or antiperspirant that does not have aluminum. I do this because I think there could be a link between that and alzheimer’s disease. I need all the help I can get since I already forget things all the time due to age and busyness.

When I googled “vegan deodorant” a website came up that I had never heard of. It is called Schmidt’s.

I was excited to see that they had multiple scents to choose from in their deodorant line. I chose the Waves scent (pictured above) as I love anything that might remind me of the beach.

When I took the cap off, I was pleasantly surprised that the scent was strong, but not overpowering. It was white, so I was worried it might leave residue on my clothes. However, I had nothing to fear.

They recommend that you let the deodorant rest against your skin for a few seconds before you swipe it. I did that, and it went onto my skin smoothly and was not white or gunky. It did not transfer to my clothes when I put them on either.

Throughout the day, I was glad to see that the scent still stayed put. I did not have any irritation whatsoever.

Because of all this, I have found my go-to deodorant! I am excited to try more of the items on their site. I did order a soap which I will review in another blog post.

If you are about out of your deodorant, I would highly recommend checking out Schmidt’s natural deodorant! I am sure there is a scent you would like, but if you are not into scents, they have an unscented formula as well.
