Naturally Fresh

Natural Deodorant Crystal

I have taken one more step in eliminating unnatural beauty products.  I finally made it through my stock of traditional chemical laden deodorants and went in search of an alternative. 

It was on a late night shopping trip with my husband that I found a natural deodorant, Naturally Fresh Deodorant Crystal with Aloe Vera.  I purchased the travel size (2.1 oz) at Wal-Mart for $2.50 (on clearance).  

Naturally Fresh Deodorant Crystal with Aloe Vera is:

  • Hypoallergenic
  • Paraben Free
  • Fragrance Free
  • Aluminum Free

Naturally Fresphotoh Deodorant Crystal products are 100% pure and natural, non-staining, and provide up to 24 hour, hypoallergenic protection against body and foot odor. Our products are also paraben free, propylene glycol free, phthalate free, and contain no harmful aluminums (aluminum chlorohydrate, aluminum zirconium). They function as natural deodorants, which kill odor-causing bacteria while permitting the pores to excrete toxins naturally. This is vital to maintain healthy, axillary lymph nodes located in the underarm area.

I love the Naturally Fresh Deodorant!  I’ve tried other natural and coconut oil based deodorants (homemade and purchased) in the past but none of them have held up or felt so light.  I have had absolutely no body odor, no filmy residue, no irritation, no marks on clothing, and no irritating perfume smells.  Another great benefit of the crystal deodorant is that it lasts up to one year! 

Maybe someday I’ll find the right homemade solution but for now I’m happy with this alternative.

Poo-Free

I finally did it!  I went shampoo free a little over a month ago.  I went pretty basic to start with, baking soda and water.  I’ve been surprised with the results, good surprised.  Yet, I’m still trying to find the right combo for my thick hair.  It probably doesn’t help that I started during my pregnancy when my hormones are constantly changing. 

Rose seems to have it figured out.  The littles don’t seem to mind either way but they do miss the foaming suds.

I’ve been playing around a bit with castile soap in our hair solution mix.  If anything, it’s been great for our skin.

I hope to try a new hair solution this month.  Feel free to chime in with your advice for long super thick hair.
