Our best-selling solid deodorant for natural pits

If you’re used to using a roll-on deodorant and want to make the leap to a natural alternative, Aromaco is an easy transition. We thought about all of the most effective ingredients for a deodorant and packed them all into this rather magnificent bar. We’ve put in astringent witch hazel, added in absorbent sodium bicarbonate (otherwise known as baking soda), to absorb excess moisture and smells, and fragrant patchouli oil into our creamy cake to keep you fresh, naturally. You’re left with softened, dry and tremendously pleasant smelling pits.

Features

  • The pits, in a good way: A simple but effective solution for armpit control.
  • Feeling fresh: Witch hazel infusion helps to eliminate microbes and odor-causing bacteria leaving you fresh and clean.
  • Triple threat: Chamomile vinegar tightens the pores, acts as an antibacterial agent, and soothes the skin.

This deodorant is AMAZEBALLS! I swear, nothing has ever worked for me. My pits suck. they are impossible to tame...until now! I sweat like crazy even when it's cold outside. I have ruined shirts. I would start to smell about halfway through the day. Now that I have used this deodorant I have those problems no longer! This stuff smells so sexy and it lasts all day long. The best part is that it is all natural and free of aluminum. I will never ever use another deodorant ever! Now stop reading reviews and buy this deodorant :)

[First natural deodorant][...] I was so excited because I had ordered around $100 of products. Well I have a problem with sweat. I sweat a lot and I get bad sweat stains sometimes. Well I opened the package and immediately looked for the deodorant. Well I was just about to put it on and then I smelt it. The smell was HORRIFIC. I am not all into vegan and organic soaps and stuff but I tried this. The smell was like spoiled milk and rotten moldy eggs. It was just an awful smell. I haven't gotten up the guts to wear it out yet just because of the smell. Well I am wearing a tiny bit I mean the tiniest bit. I put it on last night (I'm not sure what time) and usually in the morning I have some b.o but now I don't. The smell is very strong and very loud, so it might be just covering up the B.O..It seems like a good product, but If I could just get over the smell! I don't know how to review this product fairly because I have not worn it exercising and out like a normal day but only because of the smell. So if you want to try this product, go for it, but if you can't stand loud smells then I would't recommend ordering this. I have it on right now and it kind of smells a little better than it does just smelling it right out of the box. I read several reviews before ordering this and they all were very positive. They all said that it has a great smell. Well, smelling it once you open it right out of the box I guess doesn't give it much credit. Well now that I have it on and am typing this review I keeping smelling my armpits trying to see if the smell is all that bad. It kind of smells okay once it is on (like I said). But I will have to maybe give it a fighting chance. I looked up a few reviews and all of there thoughts are basically the same as mine. So maybe look at reviews for the product and maybe try and smell it first.

    Comments about Aromaco Deodorant:

    Finally something has conquered my super smelly pits! I have tried everything! And i settled with secret clinical strength for a few years because it kept the stink away 29% of the time. Then i decided to go natural and not get breast cancer from my aluminum packed deodorant... I tried toms and making my own deodorant to no avail. I never smelled worse. Then I heard about this! It works 100% of the time, after the gym i smell good, after my two mile bike ride to work in the Georgia heat i smell good. My confidence has increased tenfold just because I do not have to think about my smelly pits any longer. This has literally changed my life!

      Comments about Aromaco Deodorant:

      First off let me just say, I have tried almost every deodorant on the planet and nothing worked for me. They would work for about 3 weeks, and then poof, back to sweating and smelling.

      Then I tried this. My life is forever changed.

      I am an athlete, I run, teach gymnastics and yoga, and work with teenagers at an emergency shelter. This stuff lasts all day!

      If I am doing an excessive amount of activity I add coconut powder or greench- which I cary in my purse- to freshen up.

      TRY THIS NOW!

      after having a breast cancer scare at 32, I needed to make a decision to live a more natural product based life as opposed to the chemicals based. I was skeptical about the effectiveness of a deodorant bar, but I was pleasantly surprised how well it works. Its easy to use, non irritating on freshly shaved skin and pairs great with the greench deodorant powder on those extra sweaty days!

        Shamacow, I am in love with this stuff! For years I have had a sweat problem, I couldn't walk out of my house without sweating through my shirts, let alone work. It was never an odor problem, just lots and lots of sweat. I actually had a dermatologist appointment set up to fix the problem. I have also become aware of aluminum being present in a lot of deodorants and I have a problem with that. So when I saw this on here I decided to give it a go, and I am so impressed! So much product for what you pay for, it smells amazing, and it actually works!! My pits smell good while staying dry and I'm not putting nasty chemicals in my body. It doesn't leave white streaks or residue anywhere either. Needless to say I have postponed my dermatologist appointment.

        To store this I just slipped it in a Ziploc bag.

          Comments about Aromaco Deodorant:

          Here's whats up guys...
          I first purchased this for my boyfriend because he is a natural living kinda guy and is obsessed with the smell of patchouli. Two traits we both share. When he first opened it we both thought the scent was a little strange. He chose to finish up whatever deodorant he had already been using before he began using Aromaco. The first day he wore it, he smelled divine! The scent mixes with his body chemistry really well. It smells so attractive on him! When he's wearing this, I could just live in his armpits. I know, weird. And let me tell ya, after a hot day, his armpits aren't a pleasant place to be. But Aromaco works wonders!

          I was doubtful that I'd like the product for myself, because I have really sensitive arm pits. I'm super prone to razor burn, and also experience sensitivity to deodorants. So much so, that sometimes I try to avoid shaving and using deodorant altogether... Which doesn't really turn out well. One day, I forgot to bring deo to my boyfriend's house, and ended up using a little of that fabulous smelling Aromaco.... I LOVE IT. I immediately purchased some for myself and use it daily. I experience no adverse effects or sensitivity in my armpits, and I smell lovely. I find myself reapplying it several times throughout the day, just so I can make myself smell even stronger of that haunting patchouli and cedar forest scent.

          My only slight problem, is that sometimes it's a little difficult to apply. I find that once it warms to your skin it glides right on, but if it's cold it's a little abrasive. I'm looking to see if I can find some kind of tin or reusable container to keep it from drying out.

          Over all... INCREDIBLE product. Now an essential to my daily routine.

          ***Sometimes I even sprinkle a little Coconut deodorant powder for a tropical twist or a little added dryness on a hot day.

          ENJOY!

            I have been using this deodorant for two weeks. I'm not sure if it is just masking the smell or if it is just blending in with my odor really well, but it is definitely working for me. I used to only use deodorant with aluminum in the past, but i actually think this one works better for odor control. I only have to apply it once in the morning and it lasts all day. I don't love the smell, so I layer vanilla puff on top of it.

            Since switching to this from drugstore brands full of nasty chemicals and aluminum, I have had no more ingrown hairs in my underarms! I use this every day and it works very well, but when I go to work (I'm a waitress) or will be exercising or anything that will make me sweat more, I put a layer of Coconut Deodorant over it for a little extra protection. You'd think coconut and patchouli would smell weird, but it's actually really nice. This stuff also washes off really well. I used to have problems with deodorant causing razor burn because it never fully washed off because the chemicals would really stick to the skin. All in all, this is way better for my skin and I won't be going back!

              This stuff smells soooooooo strong! If you love patchouli, you may love this. If not, forget it--it is so strong of the stuff, it made me nauseous. I was so self-conscious and I KNOW people smelled the strong odor from the slightly odd looks I got from my classmates.

                I have tried everything from different brands of clinical strength deodorants and other natural deodorants. Forget the clinical strength deodorants! This is a miracle product. To be honest, I have bad sweat, and I usually get an unpleasant odor and it is so embarrassing. I am always scared my boyfriend will notice so I shower before we cuddle. Now when I go to the gym, I don't even smell! I don't sweat as much either, just a little bit. I will forever buy this product! I only apply it once to twice a day and I am good to go!

I've been looking for an all natural deodorant that my overactive hormone teenage daughter can use, and by gosh I found it!! Also used it on my husband who is an auto tech, who works hard in the GA heat (has worked great on him also) Me? loooovvve it!! It can be a little(emphasize a little) messy but it's a small price to pay for a product with no cancer causing side effects. Go Lush!

                    Like others, I have tried many different natural deodorants and haven't had much luck. I actually found one that worked great, but I could not stand the smell....even hours after putting it on I could still smell it on myself and it made me feel sick. I wasn't expecting much with this since I had tried so many with no luck. I wore it to work yesterday because I ran out of my regular deodorant and I was really nervous. I work in a hospital and I am mostly running around assisting patients, collecting labs, etc. So I sweat a lot. I worked an 8 hour shift and when I got home my underarms were dry and had no odor! I am so happy with this product! Some people might be turned off by the smell, but I couldn't smell it on myself throughout the day and no one said anything to me (I work in very close proximity with my patients and coworkers).

                        This deodorant smells SO good! Today is my first day wearing it so I don't know yet how well it works. I'll wear it simply for the smell though!

                        I don't love how "wet" it feels but I put my Lush body powder stuff over it and it dried it nicely.

                        This was my first time using a natural deodorant, I've been using it for about 2 weeks and am still trying to get used to it. I don't notice myself smelling bad, which is good, but the application of this product must be going right over my head... It says to apply it directly to your underarm and then massage it in, but because it is so hard I just end up irritating my skin (I do have sensitive skin, though). I might try rubbing the actual bar with my hand then applying it to my underarm and see if that makes it easier on me. The smell is OK, I'm not really into pachouli. If the application of this product was easier I would give it 5 stars.

                          I use this as my daily deodorant, combined with a sprinkle of coconut powder on top, and I love it. The powder seems to absorb most of my perspiration, and the combined scent of the two products endures subtly all day long. I also road bike, run and hike and these work great. I've tried a lot of other "natural" deodorants, and this works the best, by far. It is a little messier to apply than conventional deodorants, but the little bit of extra time is well worth it. I will buy this again.

                          I absolutely love this product! While it doesn't last as long as standard deodorants containing aluminum and other yucky stuff, it does last a decent amount of time. I will definitely be rebuying this product.

                            I am really liking this deoderant so far. I have been wanting to make the switch to a natural deoderant for about a year now and finally decided to try this. I personally think that the bar itself smells HORRIBLE... I actually hold my breath when I apply it because I can't stand the scent! However, once it is on my body I can't smell it at all, and it is 100% effective at odor control and is not messy in the slightest. While BO has never really been a problem for me, I still like to apply deoderant every day just in case my body decided to rebel and be stinky once in a while. I keep it in a plastic baggie to keep it from drying out (which it will if you don't).I hope this continues to work as wel as it has been for me, I would definitely buy it again!

                              I bought this not expecting too much out of it but I love it. It works well (you may have to apply again after a heavy workout--but that's the same with reg. antiperspirant too). I used for a month and then it broke me out a little (not sure if it was from this or the deodorant powder I put on after) but that went away. It smells great and doen't leave marks on black shirts which is awesome. It stings a tiny bit after shaving. I will buy this over and over.

                              Originally I loved this product. I thought that the scent was a tad bit over-powering, but when using the Aromaco in combination with the Coconut, it created a more subdued and lightly sweet earthy scent, which I got used to. I had used this product for about a week before one hot day - the day that changed it all.

                              For normal use at the office/desk all day, this is not a bad product. However, after I stepped outside in rather warm weather with a blazer I began to sweat. The sweat, mixed in combination with the Aromaco, created a most unpleasant scent that made me smell like I hadn't showered in days. And normally I do not produce that kind of odor! When I went to class that evening I had to facilitate a discussion. I made sure to keep my distance! I promptly returned the Aromaco.

                              The T'eo was a lifesaver though. The scent of T'eo does not last as long, but does not produce that God-awful earthy odor when perspiration strikes either!

                                  About a week and a half ago I threw my traditional deodorant/anti-perspirants away and decided to take a more natural approach. I purchased the Aromaco and have been using it together with my Karma powder dusted on top. I slightly dampen the Aromaco so it glides on easier. I've been loving it, however I now have not one, not even two, but 4 clogged sweat glands! It's extremely painful and irritating. After the first one appeared I thought perhaps it was a good sign that I was detoxing from the use of anti-perspirants, but now after the fourth has appeared I can't help but think maybe it's the new products. Should I discontinue my beloved new lush cocktail? Please help!

                                  How should this be stored? I was keeping it in the baggie it was wrapped in but the bag ripped, so I was forced to recycle it. I started keeping the deodorant on my bathroom counter but I've found that it is really drying out. Should I be keeping it in a plastic bag or tupperware of some variety? Or is the drying normal?

                                    It is best to store Aromaco in a sandwich bag or container, as you suggest. When it is purchased, it comes in one of our baggies or in a resealable deli container, so if these ware out, it is best to find a similar, suitable replacement to store it in.

                                    These bars can be a little bit messy to work with because they are naked, meaning they do not contain any packaging. Some customers find success with picking off a small piece of the bar and using one finger to apply it.

                                  Tried a sample of this product and it was very easy to apply -- responded to body heat and glided on easily. Got the full-size and it was not soft at all -- almost unusable because it doesn't respond to body heat, stays solid and is actually pretty abrasive and painful to apply. Is there something wrong with the bar I got? Is there something I can do to soften it up?

                                    The Aromaco deodorant is designed to be applied directly onto the underarm but you can also break off a small, pea sized amount and gently melt this into the skin as well. As applying the bar directly onto your skin is not working for you I would recommend trying this method instead.

                                  I have a huge concern with the use of propylene glycol in this product. I stopped using over the counter products because of the aluminum. I tried your product...loved it. But realized it works almost like over the counter products. I don't sweat...yeah. So I decided to look up the ingredients. I found propylene glycol and did a bit of research. This product to me is just as dangerous as aluminum. Here is what I found...In the skin and hair products, propylene glycol works as a humescent, which causes retention of moisture content of skin or cosmetic products by preventing the escape of moisture or water. I don't see this as "natural". Please explain why you use this product and how its ok to replace aluminum with propylene glycol?

                                    At LUSH we only use ingredients we feel confident in, as we use the products on ourselves and our families.

                                    Propylene glycol is generally recognized as safe for use in foods, cosmetics and medicines. In the way we use it in our deodorants it does not pose health concerns and our inventors spend a lot of time carefully researching and selecting safe ingredients. Ingredients are chosen primarily based on whether or not they have long records of safe use for cosmetics purposes.


                                    Propylene glycol is a humectant, meaning it attracts and holds moisture from escaping out of the skin. Lots of ingredients- both synthetic and natural- are humectant. This makes sense, for instance with body moisturizing- no one would want to use a body lotion that wouldn't keep their skin hydrated for more than a couple of minutes, right? Other examples of humectant ingredients are things like glycerin, lanolin, and coconut oil.

                                    In Aromaco, we use this particular humectant to help carry the water-based ingredients (like the chamomile vinegar and witch hazel infusion) into the skin. We only use propylene glycol in safe concentrations and are confident in our inclusion of it in products such as solid deodorants and bar soaps for making the products perform in a desirable and safe fashion.

                                    If you prefer not to use any products containing this ingredient, I'd recommend giving the Coconut deodorant, or the T'eo deodorant a try instead.

                                  Is this an antiperspirant as well or solely a deodorant?

                                    Aromaco is a deodorant, but does not contain aluminum salts or ingredients that would block the pores from being able to release sweat. At LUSH we feel it's healthy to perspire to cool ourselves down, but Aromaco and the other deodorants will eliminate odors, and help absorb excess moisture.

                                    For me, it doesn't work as an antiperspirant, I still sweat but it just doesn't smell gross. lol It might depend on the person and their body chemicals though. You might want to ask LUSH themselves and see if you can get a real answer.

                                    Although all Lush deodorants are really effective at masking odor and minimizing sweat, they do not contain aluminum which is what makes antiperspirants prevent you from sweating. Aluminum has been proven to be a carcinogen and blocking sweat from exiting your body is just a bad idea in general!

                                    It is not an antiperspirant; it only functions as a deodorant.

                                    I feel it works just as well as any name brand antiperspirants as well as a deodorant.

                                    This is not an anti-perspirant. This is a deodorant which works by killing the bacteria in your sweat which cause odors. I've tried many natural deos and it seems like different things really work for different people depending on their own chemistry. I'd recommend going to a store in person and seeing if you can get a sample if you're worried about shelling out $$ for something which might not work for you.

                                    I believe it is solely a deodorant. I does not stop perspiration but when you do sweat, you don't stink you smell more natural.

                                    For me, it didn't eliminate wetness. The ingredients I saw listed are used to tighten pores and kill bacteria. So if you don't sweat much, it may work out for you.
