So I was just at the vegan project website and one of the girls there had a review of Dr. Mist. It was featured on Dragon’s Den so it’s got to be good right??? lol Might want to try that…

I really liked the one from Scentimental Creations. They sell at the farmer’s market. I found of all the natural deodorants, this was very effective even though I hate the smell of patchouli. The glycerin in it is a bit high so it balls up on your pits and is an unappealing grey but unless you are going sleeveless it is not a big issue and I never noticed it staining my clothes.

Try Druide deodorant. It’s Canadian and organic

In Country with Melissact & Friends: you may be interested to know that I was raised on a farm but a mile from the farm where Natural Plantation is, and have known the family that runs it for most of my life. (Off topic; just a bit of trivia for ya.) -Kate

I’ve used Tom’s of Maine, Natural Plantation, rock crystal and all the sticks and sprays on the store shelves, including those made for men. You know what works best? Plain baking soda. Honest to good god. Don’t ask me if it’s made in Canada though.

I keep a little jar of it in the bathroom. Each morning I wash my pits with a wet cloth (I don’t even use soap, but you could) and then dip my damp fingertips into the baking soda. I rub it into a thin layer under my armpit. It turns clear. It doesn’t mark up my clothes either.

The next day, even if I forget to put the baking soda on, my pits smell fine all day. Couldn’t do that with any of the other stuff; you’d be reminded early in the day that you were missing something.

Can’t believe it took me a hundred years to find this simplest, best solution to underarmderstink. If you try it, I want to hear how it works for you.

Check out Natural Plantation. They have a spray that I tried that worked really well. I think its all sourced here too : https://www.naturalplantation.com/deodorant.html

Everyone loves Green Beaver but you have to reapply several times a day.

Ha, ha, ha! I don’t know of any Canadian sourced deodorants but I do know it will take some time to lose the “funky smell” once you switch from antiperspirant to deodorant. Carry the deodorant around with you for a few weeks so you can deploy it a little more often in the beginning.

Honest, that smell will go away! Good luck…
