Finding a non-toxic, baking-soda free deodorant has been such a challenge for me. This year, I have made a conscious effort to be more active, which means I’m sweating more. No, like a LOT more. As you know, many commercial deodorants and antiperspirants contain ingredients such as aluminum, synthetic fragrance, talc and petrolatum that have been linked to hyperpigmentation, cancer, and endocrine disruption.

I first discovered Honestly pHresh at Indie Beauty Expo LA in January 2017 and was blown away by how well it performed. After connecting on Instagram, I later met the owner Hilary in September at Natural Products Expo East 2017. She was just as nice and knowledgeable in-person that it made me fall even more in love with her brand.

HOW DO I APPLY HONESTLY PHRESH?

Honestly pHresh comes in 3 different forms: cream, stick, and roll-on. My favorites are the stick and roll-on, which are featured above.

WHY DO YOU CONSIDER THIS DEODORANT TO BE A HEALTHIER OPTION?

Did you know that sweat is actually odorless? What causes the smell we call “body odor” is actually bacteria on our skin combining with and breaking down our sweat. Honestly pHresh’s unique formula features powerful minerals and a prebiotic that virtually eliminates odor-causing bacteria, while natural moisture-absorbers work quickly to help keep you dry. In my opinion, the prebiotic is truly what takes Honestly pHresh to the next level.

Honestly pHresh is 100% free of aluminum, parabens, phthalates, glycol, petrochemicals, formaldehyde, sodium laureth sulfate, sodium Lauryl Sulfate, talc, mineral oils (silicones), monoethanolamine (MEA), diethanolamine (DEA), triethanolamine (TEA), carbomer, gluten, artificial colors, synthetic fragrances, and genetically modified ingredients. I feel a sense of relief knowing that I have found a deodorant that I can trust.

WHAT SCENTS ARE AVAILABLE?

The stick comes in unscented, barely sweet, sugar mint, tropical blossom, and soothing shea. The roll-on comes in bombay rose, element mineral, sea mineral, and tropical nectar. They even sell mini’s that you can throw in your purse, gym bag, or carry on.
