I’ve been a fan of Ben & Anna for a while having spent many years looking for a deodorant without aluminium that actually works. It’s a tricky one because although it’s fairly easy to find a deodorant without as many dodgy ingredients it can be a bit of a concern environmentally when you’re having to wash all of your clothes after only a very short period of wear.Pitrok is okay but not amazing; Bionsen you may as well not bother putting on; Neal’s Yard is pretty good but not excellent, but with all of those brands you have be quite mindful about whether you’ve started smelling of sweat and more often than not items of clothing have to be washed after only a few hours of wearing them - not a

Just wow !! I purchase items from Amazon atleast 3 times a week, very rare that I will actually rate something I have purchased.. but this product is just so damn good I have to review it..Product arrived this morning, early enough in the day so I applied before going to the gym. Got back from the gym just now - my underarms actually smell amazing !! With being at the gym, obviously sweating hard as I was there for 75 minutes. Mate dropped me back home - she said before I got out the car - "What's that smell on you today, totally different from your usual smell".. to which I replied it's a new deodrant from Amazon. The fragrance of this product is obviously noticeable,

This review if for Provence (the lavender scented one)This has a lovely natural smell and is easy to apply. I tested it out by applying pre-parkrun and I finished the run in a haze of lavender. If I am less active, which i generally am then the scent is much more subtle. It seems to be a pretty effective deoderant. It arrived without any plastic packaging too. The tube and cover are entirly made of cardboard and as you use you just push up from the bottom.One slight flaw in the design is that the covering tube is a very snug fit, so if you have the deoderant stick pushed slightly above the top of the inner tube (as you must for application), then it will not sit propery closed for storage,

I've been using this daily for six weeks and still have a couple of weeks left in the tube I think. The Nordic Timber smell is nice but doesn't last all day. It's much kinder on the skin than the roll-ons I used to use that would leave my skin dry and flaky. It has been very good at preventing odour and lasts at least 24 hrs with an hour of cycle commuting (in winter, summer may be a different story!). I have had a couple of occasions where I've had wetness but that may be because I missed a spot, odour was still prevented on these occasions. Also doesn't stick to shirts and go crusty so that's a bonus! You do need to warm it up a little bit as it's a bit flaky/powdery when cold,

Love this stuff, will never go back to shop bought standard stuff by choice. I never get BO with this, and if you hold it to your skin for a few seconds before using it warms it up enough to smear on without needing to use your fingers. If you use too much, it will flake off so just use a bit less. The vanilla and orchid one is my favourite flavour - I tried persian lime but found it a bit acidic smelling for my liking, and tried the grapefruit one which was nice but not topped the vanilla orchid for me. One issue that brought it down a star for me is sometimes the packaging isn't fully functional.

After much googling, I finally settled on this for my first plastic free deodorant - and so far, so good!The packaging looks lovely and the deodorant smells lovely. More importantly, it works!!! I’ve used it during the hottest periods of the year and it has left me smell free and bone dry. Very happy! (I used to use Mitchum).Only negatives - the tubes are not big and the amount of deodorant inside each is not much. I’ve bought the mandarin one too and both seemed to be only half to three quarters full, and for almost £10, that’s a disappointment. The other negative is that the top of the cardboard tube gets caked in deodorant and then breaks down. It’s not the most robust packaging.Will I continue to use?

This is my second time buying this product. I spent a long time researching alternatives to plastic packaged deodorant and settled on this one, in spite of baulking initially at the price. The scent is really lovely but the packaging design wasn't great (difficult to get the cover back on without catching product and wasting some each time smearing it down the sides of the tube. I still want to avoid plastic where I can though, so decided that on balance it still beats the alternative and replaced it when the first tube was finished. I was pleasantly surprised to find that the tube design has been much improved in the interim and the price has come down markedly too! Win win and I'm delighted with it in every way now!

After trying to move away from dodgy substances in most anti-perspirants, this is the best of all the soda ones I've tried. It doesn't work as well as popular anti-perspirants, but it does work much better than not using one at all, and I've come to the conclusion that trying to prevent all sweat is probably not doing the body much good! I love the plastic free packaging and it smells amazing. Not so keen on the mess it makes on my carpet as bits flake off, and it's hard to use when it gets to the end, so I had to take it out of the cardboard tube and rub the last bit on, which got a bit messy! Otherwise the last bit vanishes into the tube as you press it to the skin, so it becomes impossible.

This Nordic Timber scented deodorant works well and smells great. I have had no rash issues as others have claimed so unfortunately this is a hit or miss thing.The one small downside is the formula's solidity. It is too hard. Even after warming this up to be able to spread it, it is still slightly painful to spread. It scratches slightly and pulls on your armpit hair if you have any. The formula needs to be softer, like typical chemical style stick deodorants. I use Right Guard 48hour defence normally but hate the plastic packaging, but it spreads much easier than this. If you shave your underarms this will be less of an issue, but still something to keep in mind.

I used this every day & my deodorant stick lasted over 6 months, which is much more than the liquid roll-on that I used to use.I can imagine if you had very sensitive skin then this might not be the best for you since you need to rub it on, rather than roll it on (again which is the usual mass-market liquid alternative). However, if you follow the instructions and have time, you hold it in your armpit for a moment before putting it on & it softens the head of the deodorant to roll on easier (or do it straight after a hot shower!).I have relied on this deodorant for work throughout the day and gym in the evenings & never had an issue with the deodorant wearing off (i.e.

I’ve tried the vanilla and pink grapefruit versions and now have mixed opinion. Love the vanilla, great smell, works really well coping with hiking and gym sweating, goes on easily; only drawback is my fingers aren’t long enough to push it all the way up the tube and I have to use a pen (maybe perforation half way down so you can tear off the upper half when you’ve used a lot?). The pink grapefruit, although I love the smell, the consistency is so crumbly and hard that it doesn’t spread well meaning poor coverage and has actually broken into chunks making it unusable. Will go back to vanilla and stick with that. Overall great product and will continue using, but if you’re trying for the first time,

In my attempts to go Zero Waste/Plastic-free, I'm trying Ben & Anna's deodorant. In the past I've used Vichy 48hrs & 72hrs, as well as Triple Dry 72hrs. I was thrilled to receive this as it's also come in Plastic-free packaging (you'd be surprised at how many companies get this horribly wrong). The idea that every piece of plastic I've ever used is still out there somewhere (forever) fills me with such sadness (only 10% of our plastic ever gets recycled - look it up - and even then, it's still here!)... but making a change now and knowing I'll contribute less going forward is really exciting. Thanks so much.Quality-wise, the deodorant looks really well designed and super cute.

Great deodorant, but the container breaks down quickly. Would prefer this in a tin where you scoop a pea size amount and apply vs a paper tube that starts peeling/tearing shortly after beginning to use. But when it comes to natural deodorants that work, this one fits the bill. The scent isn't strong, the ingredients don't cause me hives, and I can make it through the day without becoming smelly. I have MCS and used Schmidt's fragrance free in the US. I've tried a number of brands since moving to the UK and this is the first that works and doesn't have lavender (which is a sensitiser and I'm allergic to). It's expensive given the packaging breaks down, but I will still buy this again.

I have been using this for about a year now. It is amazing, especially considering it is all natural. I have never found another natural deodorant that works but this is actually better than conventional deodorants. The only thing I don't like about this deodorant is the packaging. It looks lovely and it's great that it's cardboard but once you get near the end of the stick it is impossible to get your finger all the way into the tube to push the rest out. I end up having to either waste it or pick it out with my fingers which is annoying. At this price I think you should be able to use the entire deodorant without doing this. They need to make the tube a little shorter.

Having recently decided to cut down on plastic use I have been looking for alternatives. As this had such good reviews I thought I’d give it a try. I am now a fan. When it arrived I did wonder if I’d made a mistake as it is a lot more than I would normally spend on deodorant. I am happy to say that I hadn’t this is such a lovely product. It lasts all day with just one application. It has a soap like consistency so is a little hard. I find it easier to apply to dry skin. It doesn’t take long to get the hand of the push up cardboard tube and I love that it is plastic free. It also came in cardboard packaging which was a relief. Would highly recommend.
