One of the best natural deodorants I have tried. The scent is present but not overpowering and I can tell it works well as like conventional antiperspirants as it is possible to wear the same top for more than one day, should you choose to, something that cannot often be said for natural deodorants. The consistency is solid to creamy and can get a little soft ,therefore going on quite thickly. if that happens I just use my fingers to apply it like a cream, which also saves wasting the last bit in the container. the sticky initial feeling wears off quickly and there's no residue or staining on my clothes from it.
