Finding a natural deodorant that uses all-natural ingredients and actually helps control both sweating and smell is tough. In fact, we think finding an effective natural deodorant might be the hardest thing to find in the natural skin care and personal items industry. So many people can spend months or even years trying to find the best option.
While a lot depends on your own body and what you’re looking for in natural deodorant, some options are better than others and that’s where Zion Health’s ClayDry Deodorant comes into play. Made with safe and healthy ingredients, ClayDry deodorant is aluminum free and actually helps control sweating and smell…yes, really!
The ingredients
The ingredients you will find in this product are clean, natural and wholesome, so you have nothing to worry about when it comes to daily use. They use a special blend of essential oils, arrowroot powder, clay, oils, butter, and flower extracts that help absorb moisture and neutralize odor all day long, even during tough workouts when you get hot and sweaty.
Clay is known to be porous and absorbent, a special ingredient in this option that really helps with the sweating that you often get with many natural deodorants. We love that this deodorant is free of harmful aluminum and propylene glycol.
The advantages
Besides the great clean and quality ingredients, there are two other key benefits of ClayDry that we also mentioned above. The first major benefit of this deodorant is that it controls the amount of sweat under your armpits throughout the day, even when you’re hot or exercising.
As with any other natural deodorant, you won’t stop sweating completely during workouts during the day because it’s designed completely differently than antiperspirants. However, when we used this during a cardio and weightlifting workout, the amount of sweat we had was reduced by at least 80%. This is a huge deal! The second biggest benefit is its ability to control odor as well. It does an excellent job of eliminating odors in a safe and natural way.
How to use
You are going to use this deodorant like any other natural or conventional option. You use a few swipes on your underarm area in the morning or whenever you want, and you should be good to go for the rest of the day! If you find yourself particularly sweaty, in hot weather, or tend to sweat a lot during exercise, you may want to reapply more during these specific times, just for extra protection.
Final thoughts
Overall, we love this deodorant and think it works incredibly well compared to so many other options on the market that are natural and/or organic. It controls sweat and odor, the two biggest things everyone looks for in a natural deodorant. However, there are two things we are not the craziest about and that is the use of the ingredient ‘natural elderberry scent’.
We don’t know what this fragrance consists of and how natural it really is. Since it doesn’t say it comes from essential oil or natural extract, we suspect it comes from an unnatural source. While this is not a major drawback, it is a bit difficult to apply on your armpits. It is not slippery and does not slide like other options. It drags against your skin a bit and seems tacky. But the great thing is, once you apply it, it doesn’t feel tacky or tacky at all!
