Natural deo...my le covent de minimes was discontinued....

It took me a long time to find the Le Covent after wasting a lot of money with natural deoderants that did not work, turned armpits black, or burned my armpits.   Now that this is discontinued, I ordered Korres from HSN....it is not working!  I might as well use body lotion there.  I like the krystal stone but my armpits are still very dark from when I used it years ago.  I tried Lavanilla, sneiders, and others I don't remember.  This is hard. I guess if there is anything at Ulta I could try at least they take back returns....Any suggestions?

Don't you just hate when these companies stop making something you really like. It would be nice if we got a warning so we could stock up.

If I tried one from Ulta it would probably be the Lavanilla.

I was using Dr. Mercola's unscented deodorant but switched back to Crystal. I'm using the Crystal unscented roll on.

I still like Dr. Mercola's but since it has coconut in it when it's cold in the house the deodorant is harder to use. When It's warmer in the house it's easier to apply. I may use his in the summer & use the Crystal in the winter.

The only natural deodorant that I like and actually works for me is Schmidts charcoal and magnesium. It smells nice and actually helps a bit with perspiration. I use it to work out in and have never stunk (yay!).  I've tried the other Schmidts and they didn't work very well.

@chiclet  Have you tried ordering it directly from Le Couvent des Minimes?  I looked at their website & it looks like they do still sell it, but it's $13.50 each & I have no idea about S&H charges or where they're located.

I use this stuff.  Brand is "Nubian Heritage."  I buy it at Lucky Vitamin or at my local Meijer.  It does a better job at keeping me fresh-smelling than the other natural deodorants I've tried, and it smells pleasant.  (It says it has neem oil in it, but I can't smell the neem.  It has a fruity scent to it.)

Native works very well for me.  However, the product builds up under the arms of my blouses/shirts.  It should come out completely when laundering, but it doesn't. 

 

I quit using only because of the buildup.
