When switching from a traditional antiperspirant to a natural deodorant for the first time, some people experience a short transition period where they sweat a little more or find that they smell a little different. This is a natural detoxification process, affecting some people but not others.

To provide some insight into switching from a traditional deodorant or antiperspirant to a natural alternative, we’ve spoken to our long-term customer and lifestyle blogger Fifi Friendly.

Why did you choose to switch to a natural deodorant?

A few reasons. Better for my skin and genuinely curious after reading about it online.

How long have you been using natural deodorant for?

7 years!

Did you experience a ‘detox’ period when switching to natural deodorant? If so, what was your experience like & how long did it last for?

Really not that long. A few days at most.

Was the detox period worth it?

Totally!

Which Salt of the Earth deodorant is your go-to?

Crystal Classic or Ocean & Coconut Spray

What makes Salt of the Earth deodorant one of your favourites?

It works, smells great, and doesn’t irritate my skin like some other natural deodorant brands. I like that I can use the Crystal Deodorant straight from the shower! I also love that you can refill the sprays.

My kids now use Salt of the Earth deodorants. My rugby-loving son likes the Amber & Sandalwood scent, and my daughter loves the Melon & Cucumber scent, it’s so fresh!

What would you say to those who are on the fence about switching to a natural deodorant?

Try it. Anyone I have recommended it to have loved it!
