Great smell, gets on clothes, messy container
I love the fresh cotton scent, as it is accurate and the perfect amount of strong-smelling. It works as a literal deodorant well. However, the deodorant itself (as it is very white) gets all over my clothes if they so much as brush near my armpits for a while after putting the deodorant on. The container can get messy (messier than a plastic container) too if you don’t swipe it on neatly.
Overall, it’s fine, you just have to be careful about putting on your clothes after using it, and maybe not use it as aggressively as I do.

Hi Callie,
Our deodorant formulation is creamier than a traditional deodorant to make it easier to apply, but this may mean that you're applying too much product, resulting in the colour transfer. I'd recommend using significantly less product and/or rubbing the applied deodorant into the skin with your hands to make sure there's no excess product sitting atop the skin to transfer from your underarm to your clothing. When it comes to our tube - we're all about the benefits of home compostable, plastic-free packaging, but admittedly it’s not as tough as the more traditional glass or plastic dispensers. It does need a little extra care when putting the lid back on, and if it gets misaligned, it can damage the inner lip, making it harder to get the lid back on later. If you're still having issues using more product and would like more help please reach out to us at hello@ethique.com
