Revitalise Me Deodorant

     As far as natural deodorants are concerned I am well educated on the subject. I have tried mineral deodorant sprays, crystal sticks, Toms, home made recipes... Just about every type you can think of and sadly none of them have done the job, meaning I stink. Now I know that the smell of your sweat has a lot to do with diet and the bacteria on your pits but I'd rather not go into too much detail on that...
     There are many reasons why you may choose to give up standard deodorants. For me it was evidence linking aluminum (found in most antiperspirant deodorant) to cancer. It was also the fact that some deodorants made my skin break out in a rash. Looking at all of these chemical filled deodorants on the shelf designed to stop my body from doing what it's meant to just felt wrong. So I made the switch and after trying many brands, types and even making my own I resorted to the fact that natural deodorants would never compare, I was wrong.
     I can't remember how it is that I stumbled across The Physic Garden on Instagram but I do remember calling it The Psychic Garden for a good few weeks. The Physic Garden is a relatively small online business located in Melbourne, Victoria and is run by a naturopath and healer named Charelle. The store is stocked with natural, handmade vegan skin care from deodorants to balms. The entire aesthetic of this website makes me want to become more sustainable myself. Charelle created The Physic Garden as a way to connect people to the healing properties of nature everyday. If that wasn't enough to sell you the prices on this site are great too! If you're interested in purchasing any products I will link the website. Some Australian stores even carry her brand in stock so make sure to check the stockist page on her website.
     I purchased the 30g Revitalise Me deodorant as a trial size. It contains Shea Butter, Bi-Carb Soda, Arrowroot powder, Olive Oil infused with Calendula, Candelilla wax, Essential oils (Lemon Myrtle, Rosemary and Tea Tree) all organic ingredients. She also has relaxing and sensitive deodorants available which sound just as lovely.
     So on to the review! I have to say the packaging was very neat and beautiful and even though I only ordered such a small product it really felt like a lot of care went into my individual purchase. The first thing I had to do was a sniff test. You can really smell the lemon myrtle with a hint of tea tree although it is NOT overpowering. To use this product I have a tiny wooden stick and I apply a pea sized amount to my underarms. You could use your fingers but I prefer not to. I haven't noticed any smell, excess sweat or uncomfortable caking.
     The real test came today when I did a long and hard work out. Typically this is where all of the other deodorants fall short. I am so excited to announce that after this treacherous work out I smelled fresh! I did a little victory boogie and immediately began planning out this blog post. I will continue using this deodorant and possibly try out the other scents. If you're like me, and have been searching for The One, here it is! A huge thank you to Charelle for making such wonderful products.
