Then, I found myself in the new Saje Wellness store in NYC on a sweltering day. I met the founder of the Canadian company and tried dozens of delicious essential oils (cooling Peppermint Halo is a personal favorite). As I was heading out, the founder's daughter stopped me and said, "if I can convince you to try one thing, it would be our natural deodorant." My ears perked up. She explained that they recommend using a salt crystal (Saje Au Natural Crystal Deodorant, $10.95), but instead of running it under water, you spritz it with one of their Saje Wellness Crystal Fresh Deodorants, $12.95. "Give your body two weeks to adjust, and then I promise it will work," she said.
Well, I used it the next day, and it worked right away. While it doesn't keep you from sweating, the salt and essential oils block stinkiness incredibly well. I've been using it for over a month, and I never hesitate to put it on in the morning -- even if I have a big meeting or the forecast calls for sweaty weather. And while two steps may seem like extra work, it only takes a second to apply, and the salt crystal will last for years. I may never reach for my conventional deodorant again. -Dawn Davis
