100% Natural Deodorant Balm by Procoal - Zero Potassium Alum, 100% Aluminium Free, Vegan Deodorant For Women & Men, Cruelty-Free, Plastic-free, Made in UK

This review took a while before it was written because I had purchased it for a dear girlfriend of mine who just so happens to have a strong sweat challenge. She had purchased every deodorant you could think of, from the most expensive to those "claiming" to be "Natural" but one day I accidentally stumbled upon this product and I sincerely ignored it because I saw a glass tub supposedly a deodorant, likely to my ignorance. However, a few days to the new year I surfed through the usual products that I would normally purchase for my dear friend, you know cologne, deodorants, and all of that good stuff that all ladies must never leave home without.I was already aware of her frustrations about all the mitchums and the other high-end brands that she was used to. Anyway, i looked at the Natural Procoal deodorant and kept asking myself how would she use it? how would I use it if I were her? would it not weigh her beauty bag down? Now, although reviews on this product were positive, they did not answer these comfort-zone questions, so I did a little research on the company and after being convinced that it was natural, the last hurdle was the review that touched on 'staining white materials.' This comment threw me off and I know that if correct, my girlfriend would definitely make her opinion known in her own sweet way.Nonetheless, I bought it with a leap of faith that we'll figure out a way to make it work and "BELIEVE ME or US" when I say, we are doing an Oliver Twist on this product! You just have to know how to use it.Okay ladies & Gents, takes notes now or screenshot the juicy part of this review with your mobile phone. Here is my girlfriend "Support Manual" on the 100% Natural Deodorant Balm by Procoal:1) After washing & drying your armpits, use your 'pointy or index finger' to take a moderate amount, as if you want to cream your armpit, and gently apply to your armpits.2) The scent, OMG! It is lovely and makes you want to continually apply through the day, and that you will, keep reading.3) The first application lasts exactly 5- 6hrs when my friend is just sitting in front of the laptop working, and 4 - 5hrs if she traveled from home on public transport to work or any function.4) 1hr exactly before it is due to wither and your sweat is about to thank God that it is finally free to mix with air, you must have at hand 'a small face towel or Baby Wet Wipes (sensitive area, you see)', which you will wet and gently wipe both your your armpits with. This will remove any trapped odor as a result of the magic Natural product.5) Finally, reapply the magic Natural Deodorant Balm and voila! You are good to go for another 4 - 6hrs.I know what you might be thinking. A face towel, wet wipe? All of that just to keep the odor away? Like I said at the beginning, if you are a lady or man who is faced with body odor challenge, then that body odor has met its match. My girlfriend used to be ashamed to raise her hand to hold the rail on trains but now, she does it with ease because the only sent that is released is that sweet lovely scent.From common sense alone, I can guess why the manufacturers did not chose the usual deceiving and toxic plastic container to store this lovely product. It would mean that they would sell you less of the product, a product that finish quickly because the roll-on would encourage waste and hypocritically claim to be natural while their product is stored in "Plastic"?All the other deodorants on the market that my girlfriend has purchased for the past 10 or so years have too many flaws to detail but allow me to give you a few: (1) they "Block" your sweat glands from releasing sweat and of course you would have to google search the dangers of that to your health. In comparison, Natural Deodorant Balm allows the sweat to be released but mix with the sweat to drastically reduce the scent of the sweat and instead give off a sweet scent. (2) The other brands when mixed with sweat, oh my, oh my, you can imagine the awful odor and not scent that is released. (3) The other brands last no longer 2 - 3hrs Ever been on a train in the rush hour with people who have body odor challenge, you know they bathed and use deodorant but come on, the toxic scent when they release that fume as they pretend as if they do not know why you are turning your nose or face? Need I say more, I think not. (4) The stain issue depends on the quality of the material and how tight your cloths are to your body.For those who may have a difference of opinion, that is fine too. However, sometimes, when one does not knowing how to use a product, that in itself can make us have a bad opinion about that product. Just try the above "Support Manual', it works for my girlfriend and now her better half who loves her so much somehow cannot get enough her, now that she found the remedy to what had long embarrassed her.Enjoy!Bottom line is I too have been converted by this product and decided to go Natural. Why if?

I am quite new to these type of deodorants so don't have other to compare with, but I have to say that this completely met and exceeded my expectations. You need a small amount to last all day, value for money is most certainly there, and It's hard to explain but from the moment i put it on it felt soothing to my underarms, best word to describe it is i felt clean as soon as i use it. Its a wonderful product great value for money will be re buying. The scent is nice and fresh not overpowering at all barely smell it after I put the product on. Would recommend.

This is the best deodorant I have ever tried and that includes chemical deodorants like Nivea and Sure. I sweat A LOT to the point where store bought, branded men’s deodorant (I’m a woman) wasn’t doing the trick and I’d find myself absolutely stinking and drenched with sweat not even half way through my day.For this reason I was hesitant about trying this eco deodorant and making the switch to aluminium free, however this product blew my expectations out of the water. Once I’ve applied this, it lasts for around 16 hours and not once within that time frame do I smell BO or any other funky smells coming from my armpits. After years of embarrassing sweating, this new found product works and is absolutely fantastic. I apply a little more than the recommended and it works a treat.I really like the deodorant’s scent and I find it easy to apply. Because I have to use more that probably the average person, I’m finding the tub will last around 2- 2 1/2 months instead of three but I can’t complain because it works amazingly and it is great value for money.I also love that it’s vegan, cruelty free (both human and animal) and sustainably sourced (pro coal’s website tells you more about how this happens and what goes into making their products if you’re interested).Overall I’m very happy to finally not be constantly worried about sweating and smelling like a wildebeest every day!
