So how do you "test" a deodorant? Sure, go about your business per usual... but definitely throw in a few stress tests in there, too. To "control" my very scientific study, I used my previous favorite deodorant on one armpit, and then would sample the new deodorant on the other.

Eventually, I found myself switching to just wearing the Pacifica Coconut Clean Deodorant throughout the day and during more extreme scenarios (such as working out, hiking, or spending time outdoors in the hot sun for extended periods). I honestly was pretty amazed at how well it worked for me, and I feel great knowing that it's a simple formula free of aluminum.

As of writing this, the Coconut Cream Clean Deodorant has over 150 reviews on Ulta with a 4.4 rating, which is pretty darn good for a natural, aluminum-free deodorant. One reviewer said it's one of the best deodorants they'd tried, and wrote, "since using this product for almost two months at this point, I haven't smelled bad once. And I feel like it helps control the sweat."

Another reviewer wrote, "I have tried A LOT of natural deodorants and this one is by far my favorite. It smells great and lasts all day. The other brands I have tried are always messy and not solid enough to apply without making a mess. This rolls on easily and doesn't give you that "wet" feeling. LOVE LOVE LOVE."

All in all? If you're in the market for a new deodorant — natural or otherwise — I highly recommend giving this one a try.
