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 LUSH Aromaco:

I really love this product in that it is the ONLY deodorant I have ever found that doesn't make my underarms break out or have some form of reaction. Unfortunately, I don't like the smell of patchouli and it is pungent! My whole dorm room gathers a smell like the lingering scent of incense if I leave it out on my counter. Also, it doesn't last all day. I'm usually not a smelly person and my only activities are really walking to and from class and around town. I find that about 3/4 of the way through my day I can smell body odor from my armpits, which I never previously had a problem with. I'm going to try applying it twice a day now and see how that goes.
Even if I do have to apply it multiple times a day, I'm still going to stick with it just for the pure fact that my body doesn't have an allergic reaction to it like it did with all of the other deodorants I've tried.

If you really like patchouli and are ok with multiple applications I would say go for this product.

Comments about LUSH Aromaco:

When I first got this product, about a month and a half ago, I wasn't terribly pleased with the scent... but after using it every day, I have come to love it! I find my pits are dry all day! After reading reviews, I decided to combine it with Silky Underwear dusting powder. It makes it smell less intense, plus it dries faster that way. I love that it is all natural and I don't have to worry about chemicals and such. Another huge thing for me is that it is lasting so long.
For those people who have struggled with hard edges on their bar, just scrape it off with your fingernail then place the bar in an airtight container. Voila! No more drying out :) I will NEVER go back to store bought deodorants! This is amazing!
Apparently it is good for foot odor as well, but I'm not willing to share my bar with someone with stinky feet lol

    Dang this stuff is great. I refuse to use deodorants with aluminum in them, and I've tried so many different brands and methods of application. Seriously, Aromaco has been the best for me. I used it for a few months and then moved on to some other products and started STINKING again! Luckily I rediscovered this lovely deo and I don't think I will ever go without it. I enjoy layering it with other natural deodorants, and I also love using it with the Guvnah on really stinky days. All in all, a really wonderful and fantastic product.

    Comments about LUSH Aromaco:

    Switching to natural deodorant always felt like the final Lush frontier. I am not a sweaty person, I spend 8-10 hours in the office and if I forget to use deodorant, it's not a crisis.

    I got a generous sample of aromaco from the ladies at State St in Chicago. It smells beautiful for those of us who like the smoky piney scents like Jungle, the consistency is great and it goes on clean (that's right-no deodorant streaks on dark clothing!!) The sample lasted forever. The best way to apply it is right out of the shower when you are still a little damp, so the bar slides easily.

    I noticed that the product dried out very quickly so I kept it in a zippy bag. Note if you are thinking of stocking up- a tin won't suffice. Put it in a zippy or glass jar.

    Initially all was well. Around the second week I developed a rash uder one arm, and over the next couple of weeks the other side did the same. It wasn't painful or itchy, just unsightly. Also, the deodorizing effect only lasts if you don't exert yourself, be prepared to carry this in your bag and reapply if you go out for more than 6-8 hours. Reapplying really does the trick, but its impractical.

    After 6 weeks I had to let it go. The rash wouldn't go away and thought the smell of aromaco is amazing, my smell would expire too quickly. Heartbroken, I yield two stars.

      This product is so great! I have been struggling with finding a deodorant that actually smells good at the end of the day and keeps me from sweating..and I have finally found it! Obviously my body sweats..something would be wrong if it didn't..but I definitely don't sweat as much and when I do it smells so good!I found the best way to apply it is to run water over my finger and run my finger over the top of the product to loosen it up then I apply it to my underarms!

      Comments about LUSH Aromaco:

      Like many others who reviewed this product, I have been searching for a natural (read Aluminum free) deodorant for a long time. I also perspire easily. All the products I've tried don't cover the odor after a long day. Now, I have to say that while I don't mind patchouli, it's not my favorite scent. This is a strong scent when you first put it on, but it does calm down after a while. It doesn't keep me completely dry, but it does help and I certainly don't stink at the end of the day like I would with other natural deodorants!! This one is a keeper for sure!
      I keep it in a plastic baggie so it doesn't get messy!

        I was searching for an alternative to conventional deodorants because I find them irritating. I have tried other natural choices that were not effective. After reading the reviews for this product I was weary about the smell so I went into my local lush--After making this purchase I dont see me searching again-there is no funky smell-I perspire less, issues? when I first purchased it I had to cut the outside layer because it hardened and didn't go on smooth at all. Also it will transfer to your dark clothes when you apply-like most unclear deodorants

        Comments about LUSH Aromaco:

        Well, I love that Aromaco is a more natural alternative to traditional deodorants. It does take a long time to dry and it can be a little sticky until then, but it seems to work well. All of that is fine though. The only thing I cannot handle at all is the smell. Don't get me wrong, if you're into masculine scents, its perfect. However, it did NOT smell good on me at all so I will be passing it on. I'm sure it will smell great on my brother.

        I think this is a great alternative to modern deodorants, especially anti-perspirants, but I don't like the scent and the scent gets stronger when my body is working harder. I also wonder how I'm supposed to apply it when it gets down to its last bit. All-in-all it's not a bad product, it's just not for me. I'm going to get the T'eo and see if I like that one better.

        Im not one to use deoterent because i hear it alot of store bought deoterent have brest cancer causing cheamicals in it..so i would rather go around stinky or wash my pits but then i was introduced to lush and i wondered how could i live my life with out this i love this deoterent not only because its "safe to use" but also because IT WORKS! It keeps me from stinking and sweating. the only thing i do not like about this product is that ALOT of people hate the smell of it and i can understand why its not fruity or perfumy but once you put it on and smell your armpits it seriously isnt that bad.the smell dissipears once its on your armpits, i would go for it if you just want a normal natural deoterent

        Comments about LUSH Aromaco:

        After desperately needing a natural deodorant (without crazy cancer causing chemicals), I was introduced to Lush's deodorant line. I did a little research online. Because I have very sensitive skin and allergies I was a little concerned when I heard about the rashes that some seem to be getting. My skin has never before been exposed to witch hazel, so instead of purchasing a large chunk, I went into my local store and asked for a $2 amount -just in case.

        This product is incredibly cost effective. It has been over a month and I still have 3/4 of the original bar. I've had absolutely no problems with the ingredients. At times the bar is a little abrasive, but if I warm it in my hands or apply it to wet pits it's not an issue.

        It doesn't stink, I promise. It's a little dank, but not in a bad way, it just smells mossy or "green". The smell was never off-putting for me, just something to get used to. I actually enjoy it! I'd prefer my underarms to smell like this instead of B.O. The smell lasts for a long time.

        I recommend dusting silky underwear over it while its still drying, but any dusting powder will do. This works nicely on days when you might be sharing intimate space and don't want to bring attention to the deodorant.

          I use this product after showering every day. I find it easiest to use if my pits are still damp or by quickly wetting the bar before using. I apply enough to get a slight white lather and allow it to dry before putting on my shirt (to avoid any clothing stains).

          I have easily irritable pits and have tried just about every all natural deodorant on the market. The Aromaco stick is the best! The only thing that could make it better is some sort of holder, although that would create unnecessary environmental waste, so I'm happy to go without. Nice job, LUSH!

            I love Aromaco, the first LUSH deodorant that I tried was T'eo and it dried my underarms out so bad that I had a rash for 3 weeks, and I only used it two days. I got a sample of the Aromaco to try, since it looked like it would be more moisturizing. I love it. It goes on completely clear and I've never had to rub it in. This past Sun it was rainy and drizzely aned very humid, I wore it to a rappell and zip event and it kept me fresh and dry the whole day. Prior to trying LUSH I had only ever used Mitchum for Women becasue I sweat very easily and so much that the Mitchum was the only product I could use that worked. I am extremely happy that I was able to use a LUSH product that is so much better for my skin, health and the enviroment but I didn't have to give up anything!

              I have spent my whole life looking for something natural that eliminates my wet underarms. Lush you have done it! I am not a fan of the Patchouli smell but will wear this everyday for as long as you sell it. I can get past the heavy scent in the first hour because this product works. I can wear cute shirts now without pitting out in the first three minutes, and am still dry and fresh 7 hours later. Thank you! I cannot say it enough.

                Im really picky about deodorant you cannot buy a womens deodorant from the grocery store that doesnt leave white marks ive tried like all of them and the only one i found was old spice for men, but my bf hates that i smelled like a man so i tried this and its amazing, no white marks. But after a few days it will dry out a little then you just scrape the side of it a bit and i goes back to being soft.

                Comments about LUSH Aromaco:

                I may have the most sensitive underarms in the planet. I received a sample from this at a Lush store and decided to give it a try, and I did not have any irritations. My only issue was that even the small sample dried out before I was able to finish it. So, I ended up throwing it away.

                  First day with this on and I haven't sweated yet. I live in FL and it was around 90-95 degrees today. I was outside for about 15 minutes and I did not sweat (which is unusual with other natural deoderants, esp in FL). I find the scent very nice and not offensive at all. If anything changes I will write another review but I think thus far it is a great product! :)

                  I've tried many natural deodorants over the years because I'm very afraid of putting aluminum on my armpits. Unfortunately, none have worked for me(hint: I've tried the brand with a one-syllable man's name, and another one that is what gypsies use to tell your fortune).

                  I know that what works for some, doesn't work for others. I can't tell you it's going to work for you, but it definitely works for me. I even tested it's limits by not reapplying the following morning after a shower and hit the gym, and I still didn't smell! It goes on easily, with almost a creamy consistency. Doesn't leave white marks on my clothes, and I think it smells really good (although some may disagree and think it smells like a dread-locked hippie)

                    I didn't notice in the shop what a strong scent this has. I can't wear it; the cure is almost worse than the disease. I will admit that it applies gently to underarms still damp from the shower, and the scent seems really long lasting.

                      What's the best way to apply this product without getting it all over your hands/fingers? I love it, but as a first time user, and as the bar dwindled down to a little ball, I found it more and more messy to work with. Any suggestions?

                        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.

                        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.

                        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.

                        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.

                        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!
