Day 1

Let's talk deodorant people. This is going to be a tough one for me because before my cruelty-free quest, I was using Secret Clinical Strength. This deodorant actually worked pretty decent, but of course they test on animals. I live in hot and humid Florida so I need something that can take the heat. Literally. 

Today I am trying a deodorant by the company JASON. I bought the "Purifying Tea Tree Deodorant Stick". 

Our Deodorant is clinically tested to effectively control odor for all day protection. Zinc Ricinoleate, Corn Starch and Baking Soda neutralize odor while Tea Tree Oil and Grapefruit Seed Extract, known for their antimicrobial properties, help fight odor-causing bacteria.

This first thing I noticed when I put it on this morning was that it was very wet feeling. I have used gel forms in the past that gave a similar feel, however this "wet" feeling lasted for a few hours. Almost as if it wasn't completely dry. It is a solid deodorant so this was a little odd to me. It did go on completely clear, which I love. As the day progressed, my underarms felt sticky. I have read other reviews that say the same about the sticky feeling. Towards the end of my work day, I noticed I could kind of smell myself. I hate that! I feel that if I can smell myself, anyone around me can smell me too. I was really hoping I would like this deodorant but it looks like I'm going to have to keep looking for a cruelty-free deodorant that works better and will keep up with the Florida sun. I still plan on trying many more products from the company JASON though.
