I like pink grapefruit and I cannot lie. I basically want to only have products that smell link pink grapefruit. So I knew I wanted to try the Ben & Anna Pink Grapefruit deodorant. 

Packaging

I like that the packaging is made out of paper, it does get a bit messy but that is not my main problem with it.

The main problem I have with the packaging is that the tube is simply too tall! I always need to grab a pen to push up the product and then it sinks down again after I use it. They say to use a thumb to push up the product but I am not sure what kind of thumb they have!

Ingredients

The ingredients are very basic, the main ones being baking soda, shea butter, arrow root powder, and corn starch.

Product

The deodorant smells amazing and I don’t smell when I use it. But that is different for everyone! My main problem though was that it gives me a underarm rash and makes my skin peel. Which is a huge problem. Quickly after I stop using it my skin goes back to normal. It does take a couple of days for then the rash to come back. I do wash under my arms every evening and put oil to help with everything, which helps but not to the extent that I would repurchase this deodorant again. It is simply too harsh for my skin! 

Conclusion

I love how the Ben & Anna Pink Grapefruit deodorant smelled and made me not smell. I like that the packaging is recyclable paper. However, I will not be repurchasing it since it wrecks havoc on my underarm skin. 

Do you have any recommendation for a natural deodorant for me to try?
