Lavilin's Underarm Deodorant Cream Review


I have been using natural and aluminum free deodorants for several years now.  I have less odor, regulated my sweating to a natural and more balanced level, while also not absorbing harmful chemicals into my body.  One of the deodorants I have tried recently is Lavilin.  This is quite a unique deodorant in that not only is it cream in texture and consistency, but it is said to work for up to 7 days after one application.  I love this product as the packaging is attractive, yet also easy to take along in travel.  There is nothing to spill and it sets nicely on the vanity.  I love that it comes with a dipper to keep fingernails clean.  The scent is unisex and fresh.  I do use a small amount daily after my shower, however, you can use it once every few days.  I like to freshly shave any stubble under my arms and apply this deodorant cream (after a nice hot shower).  I have tested this product previously when in the hospital when I had my baby (last year).  I did not shower the first 2 days as I had a Cesarean.  This worked very well.  This product is meant to be used once every 7 days or when needed.  It will get used up quicker if used as often as I use it and could get costly at the retail price.  


I always use natural based products and this deodorant has plant extracts and oils to help prevent odor without interfering with the body's natural cheistry.  Pores are not clogged and the body can still sweat when needed.  It is healthy to sweat as it releases toxins and cools the body.  

I like how this is baking soda free as well.  While most natural based deodorants include baking soda due to its deodorizing abilities, I am highly sensitive to baking soda.  It irritates my skin and causes redness.  Lavilin does not cause any irritation and works incredibly well.  I find that the zinc oxide is the star ingredient.  I have used zinc oxide based creams in the past (same ingredient in sunblock) with wonderful results.  

I was sent this particular Lavilin jar complimentary for review.  This is my honest opinion of it.  I have used it previously in the past and always have positive results.
