Body Care: Crystal Essence Mineral Roll-On Deodorants

Crystal Essence mineral roll-on deodorants: Chamomile and Green Tea; Pomegranate; Lavender and White Tea.

Three years ago I've switched to natural deodorants. I have tried few on the market, but these ones from Crystal brand are my favourite. First of all let me do a quick ran through some facts. Antiperspirants block sweat glands. Deodorants can not make you stop sweating, they remove odor. They can do it either by just masking odor with fragrance or using ingredients that kill odor causing bacteria. I have to say, that when I stopped using antiperspirants, I didn't sweat for two weeks (makes you wonder how blocked those glands were...). A lot of natural deodorants feature a blend of essential and basic oils, that just smell nice, but does not really work in the way I want to. Crystal Essence deodorants feature potassium alum, which does kill bacteria. It is natural occurring mineral, and you can use it in solid form as deodorant as well. I do prefer a more processed version of it though.

Crystal Essence offers multiple versions of natural deodorants (solid, spray, roll-on). There are fragrance free versions available as well, though I like a bit of a scent. Below I will discuss ingredients and my experience with three versions of mineral roll-on deodorant (my personal favourite type).

Ingredients:

Water, Potassium Alum, Natural Fragrance (Extracts and Essential Oils), Polysorbate-20, Cellulose, Sodium Bicarbonate, Benzoic Acid, Zinc Gluconate.

Excellent (only beneficial ingredients, proven research)

Good (mostly beneficial, not extensive research or just not quite outstanding properties)

OK (mostly thickeners, emulsifiers, mild preservatives, pH adjusters, all that is necessary, but not a skincare per se) 

Bad (irritants and anything bad that shouldn't be in skincare, usually fragrance)
