Thai Crystal Deodorant Stone





My husband uses this daily and I've tried it a bunch of times.  The product claims to last over a year.  Hubby is still using the same one he bought two years ago and it looks to have about two years of life left.

Price:
For $7.99 this is a major steal.  If it lasts for four years, that's only $2 bucks a year for deodorant.  A definite plus.

The smelliness factor:
This product doesn't work for me... I feel like I have body odor about 4 hours after application.  However, my husband swears by it and he doesn't smell bad, mostly.

Aesthetics:
I added this as a category for review because I think it is sort of gross that you have to wet a smelly piece of salt that you've been rubbing all over your pits for a year before reapplying day after day.  For a girly girl such as myself, that's sort of nasty.

Natural ingredients:
This product has one ingredient: mineral salts.  According to the product website, the mineral salt used is alum taken from bauxite ore. Did you know that Australia produces one third of the World's bauxite?  Well it does.  From Wikipedia, I also learned that bauxite is usually strip mined. 

Overall:
For some people, this may be a very good product.  It is also very inexpensive.  I would recommend it with hesitation (notably because of the smelliness and grossness factor).
