Awesome natural deodorant for non-believers

Honestly, one of the last toiletry items I changed after going vegan was my deodorant. I think it's a common sentiment among people that no one likes to sweat excessively, and we definitely don't want to smell while we're doing it. That's why the mainstream norm has been wearing strong antiperspirants for years, which prevent our body from releasing sweat in the first place. Hmm.

I tried natural deodorant originally because I heard from a few sources that parabens are often found in breast cancer cells, and there are actually parabens in antiperspirants – not to mention the aluminum and other chemicals hidden in those sticks and sprays. Think of how you apply antiperspirant and how close that is to your breasts. No wonder men are being diagnosed with the disease, too!

Then, while discussing the vegan deodorant dilemma with someone once, I mused, "I just wish I could find a natural antiperspirant!" To which she replied, "They don't exist because it's not natural not to sweat." Well, that just changed my mindset right there.

I'm not sure what made me try Meow Meow Tweet in the first place, especially considering it was formerly only available as a cream. But I have really grown to love it and even got used to applying the little pea-sized amount recommendation with my finger. Recently, the company launched a deodorant stick anyway, so now you have options!

Approximately $30 for the 128 g stick and $20 for the 68 g cream

They might seem a bit pricy, but you only need a little and I have never had to reapply throughout the day. Furthermore, the light and natural fragrances are relatively unisex. The male sales associate at the store from which I recently bought it again in Toronto told me he also uses and loves Meow Meow Tweet deodorant.

Both versions come in two or three different scents: the stick in Lavender Bergamot or Lemon Eucalyptus, and the cream in Lavender, Tea Tree, or Baking Soda Free Grapefruit (for people with sensitivities). I'm sure you'll find the same great results! Smell ya later :)
