Tom's of Maine Unscented Deodrant Stick
by heuchera I was looking for a deodorant which is effective, and which contains as few nasty chemicals as possible. I think the Tom's of Maine range is a good contender on both counts. The deodorant stick is not intended to stop perspiration, but the ingredients in it work to prevent the sweat from causing embarrassing body odour. For ... most of the year, barring the occasional really hot day, I find that this deodorant works very well. It is not as strong as the standard anti-perspirants you get in the shops, but it is effective and I have also found it mild enough to use just after shaving. The product range includes a few different fragrances, but if, like me, you are someone who prefers not to have scented products, this one could be for you. For those interested in avoiding parabens etc, I also like the fact that the Tom's of Maine website lists all the ingredients used in their products, and the reasons for using them.

Tom's of Maine Honeysuckle Deodorant Stick
by independentlady TOM'S OF MAINE NATURE'S ORIGINAL DEODORANT STICK HONEYSUCKLE ROSE ALUMINIUM FREE I submitted this as a product suggestion & have been waiting for DooYoo to list this product in the catalogue. I now have the go ahead for this first review of this product so here goes - I have read a lot lately ... about how anti-perspirant causes breast cancer. Trials in women with breast cancer showed that the majority had lingering traces of anti-perspirant in the breast tissue & lymph nodes under the arms. This frightened me so at one point I scoured the shop shelves for deodorant with no alcohol or aluminium which are big culprits - not easy to find. I looked in all the supermarkets & in Boots. I found one roll on in Boots but then I started looking at health shops online & I came across Tom's of Maine at www.HealthFoodOnline.co.uk. They seemed like a good place to buy from & so I chose the Honeysuckle Rose Deodorant Stick after reading all about it. The concept of natural personal care, products made without artificial or animal ingredients or chemicals is one whose time has come. Tom's of Maine has been at the forefront of this innovative idea since 1970.Thanks to this early leadership Toms of Maine are now a leading Natural Care brand, with nearly 200 employees and 90 oral and body care products found at more than 40,000 retail outlets across the country and world. Toms of Maine Honeysuckle Rose deodorant stick uses coriander oil as an odor-fighting ingredient. It also contains lichen extract for added protection, and aloe vera to soothe the skin. At £3.88 for 60g stick I thought it was worth a try. In fact on the product it states the net weight is 64g (2.25oz) It is also aluminium free which is a big plus. This is what I had been looking for. It is a cream coloured plastic sleeve with a thumb wheel at the bottom to wind the stick up ready for use. It has a matching cream coloured lid on the top for protection. The front label states the scent is honeysuckle rose & that it is improved with hops - this on a background of the honeysuckle & rose flowers. The logo in a white background with a blue circle surround says - natural care Tom's of Maine. Then underneath it says nature's original deodorant stick, contains hops extract to inhibit the growth of odour-causing bacteria and natural fragrance for a pleasant aroma. Then in red capital letters it proclaims ALUMINIUM FREE because of course this is the big requirement. Then at the bottom net weight is 64g (2.25oz) On the back it tells us Gentle, effective, natural. Aluminium free formula fights odour naturally. Dear Friends, we've discovered an innovative new way to fight odour naturally - with hops! Our original formula now includes active ingredients from hops, which inhibit the growth of odour-causing bacteria while maintaining effectiveness. Please let us know what you think! It follows on with the list of ingredients & the address in Salisbury And says to store at room temperature. Also, importantly it sates, No artificial or animal ingredients Tom's of Maine is against animal testing ~My experience~ I opened the Jiffy bag to reveal this deodorant encased in a pleasant looking cream coloured plastic sleeve. I took the top off & turned the thumb wheel & hey presto the deodorant stick pushes up ready for use. The mechanism is very smooth & you can have the stick up as much or as little as you like. I stroked it on the skin under my arms & actually it didn't feel too sticky. I did put a light dusting of talc over it before I dressed just to make sure, but it was probably unnecessary. The smell is very nice - as it says on the label, honeysuckle & rose. It is not too strong & doesn't clash with perfume. I feel confident when wearing it that I don't smell nasty. I'm sure my partner would have noticed if I did as he is very particular. If I am going to somewhere that is likely to be very hot & I would be active, such as a party & dancing, then I am tempted to use anti-perspirant, but I wouldn't go back to using it all the time. I think this is the way forward health & safety wise. I would recommend this product & would definitely buy it again. It is so difficult to find something aluminium free & not an anti-perspirant, that it's easier to send off for it rather than spend hours searching the shops as I did originally. A good find.

Tom's of Maine Calendula Roll-On Deodorant
by OscarsWilderness I bought this deodorant after a lengthy search for an aluminium-free alternative to the mainstream products. It was recommended by someone in the health food store as the most effective natural roll-on deodorant, and at £4.55, it was cheaper than some better known natural brands. However, this is still significantly more than you would ... expect to pay for the usual aluminium-based deodorants, so you would hope it would be good. The bottle itself differs from many roll-ons as it's long and thin rather than - as is commonly now the case - small and shaped to make it easier to grip. I actually prefer this and it holds a fairly generous 88.7ml going some way towards making up for the price. While the colour is not terribly appealing in my view, it does add to the natural look and feel of the product, so it's a fair choice. The directions tell you to shake the product well before use, which I duly did, but the first thing I noticed when I applied it was that it's quite wet, almost as though it has been diluted with water. Unfortunately, it goes on white, and it does take a little while to dry. The smell, however, is really quite pleasant compared with previous deodorants I have used. Sadly, though, this isn't really enough on its own. The product claims to work in three ways: "zinc ricinoleate absorbs and neutralises odour, while natural botanicals coriander and lemongrass neutralise bacteria. Finally, natural fragrance creates a pleasant aroma." Whether or not this is accurate, I don't get the sense that I am using something that is working on three levels. Whilst the product seems to be effective on the body itself, it does seem to leave a slightly odd smell on clothes, and some fabrics seem to be worse than others. I'm really not sure what to make of this as there is absolutely no such smell on the skin! Perhaps it just takes too long to dry and as a result, you end up with product on your clothes. I cannot think of another explanation, but it is worth considering if you are thinking of purchasing this deodorant. The other thing I have found is that the lid seems to end up rather sticky for some reason, although I'm sure it's just a case of wiping the product off periodically. I think, personally, I am not going to dismiss this brand altogether, but may try the stick version instead in the hope that it will be drier. Read the complete review |
