This was the first natural deodorant I tried after deciding to go all natural and organic. It has many good reviews online (which is why I chose to buy it), but personally I would say it's the worst natural deodorant I have tried. The only good thing about it is its smell, sweet and lemony. Although, after a while of using it the smell became a little sickly for me. It stained my clothes (washed them, scrubbed with lemon and baking soda, soaked over night, and STILL stained!), and feels rather sticky on application. Also stung sometimes when putting it on. Didn't quite agree with my skin in general I suppose, eventually after about 2 weeks of using it it started to give me a little rash and made me itchy. I don't know what it could have been, because all the ingredients seem great (pretty much all organic extracts and essential oils). The only thing I can imagine it to be would be the 'organic ethanol'. I guess before I bought it my eyes glazed over that particular ingredient simply because it has the word 'organic' in front of it. If you have super sensitive skin like me, get a deodorant without alcohol. I don't sweat much yet it still couldn't do the job, and for that reason I would say it really failed in terms of being a deodorant. But maybe that's because I had previously been using deodorants with aluminium and parabens for so many years my body finally had a chance to start releasing those toxins...I don't know! Despite it being a waste of money for me, it might work very well for others.
All in all I would say; if you haven't got really sensitive skin, don't wear white clothes often, like a very sweet lemon smell and are happy to re-apply 3 times a day, then give this a go. Otherwise go for something else, there is much better out there. Although that being said, everyone's body will react differently so I guess it's also just about finding something your body agrees with. It's a shame mine is so fussy.
