Lume Whole Body Deodorant - Smooth Solid Stick - 72 Hour Odor Control - Doctor Developed - Aluminum Free, Baking Soda Free and Skin Loving - 2.6 Ounce (Fresh Alpine)

I have a fragrance contact allergy to linalool which means that I cannot use anything with natural or artificial fragrance. No botanical oils or extracts at all. In addition, certain chemicals are considered cross reactors and therefore I have to avoid those as well. Add to that my vitamin E (tocopherol) contact allergy and finding a deodorant that is safe for me and actually works is near impossible. I couldn't use the original unscented cream stick deodorant because while labeled unscented, it's not actually considered fragrance free due to the aloe leaf juice, isoamyl laurate, lauryl alcohol, sodium benzoate and cocoa butter. Plus it has vitamin E in it. I use the SkinSafe app to find products that are safe for me per my Mayo Clinic dermatologist. I have tried every safe deodorant and none have worked. Some caused rash despite saying they are safe, but most just don't work. They may for a couple hours then they stop. Another thing to consider is will it leave white marks or stain clothing (oil stains can be really hard to remove). The Lume Unscented/fragrance free solid deodorant recently appeared on my safe list and I jumped to try it. First I want to address the smell because I see people complaining about it smelling like all kinds of weird things such as vinegar, mildew, urine, etc. THIS PRODUCT SMELLS NOTHING LIKE ANY OF THOSE THINGS! Please do not be scared off by those reviews. I have a keen sense of smell since I live a fragrance free life so nothing is dulling my senses. The unscented solid has a light smell which is a result of the raw ingredients in it. The whole point in making a product that is free of scents (including masking fragrances) is to have a product free of both natural and artificial fragrance. When you do that, the natural smells of the ingredients will come through, though they are never strong and don't really linger. This product's ingredients give it a smell that is like a mix of citronella and calamine but not as strong as either one. I can smell it if I put my nose up to it or if I sniff my armpits within an hour of application, but that's it, and after that it just fades away. It is not a bad or offensive smell (much better than BO) even if it's not a scent someone with the luxury of using fragrance would choose. For people like me, it's beautiful because it's safe. I don't get to choose what anything smells like. My conditioner smells like cooking oil, my soap smells like glycerin and and my hair gel smells like plastic and vinegar. I couldn't care less. All that matters to me is that it is safe and will not cause terrible, itchy, oozing rashes that take months and a lot of prescriptions to clear, and that it serves it's purpose. I'm grateful to Lume for creating a product for me and the millions of people like me. On to performance! Day one I applied only 1-2 swipes per arm as instructed but I did start to smell some faint BO after a couple of hours in the 106 degree AZ heat. The next day I washed it off and applied 3 swipes per arm. I went all day without smelling anything. When I got up the next day I could smell light BO if I put my nose to my armpit which is fine. It says it eliminates odor all day (that's one day) and controls odor for 72 hours (meaning it will lessen the odor on days 2 & 3 but not eliminate it) so it did what it said it would do. I've been using it for two weeks now and have not had any adverse reactions. I will update if I do. I am happy that it works and I haven't seen marks on my clothes, it feels nice and smooth going on and doesn't feel wet or sticky after it rubs in. I highly recommend it if you truly need a product free of artificial and natural fragrance.

The best natural deoderant that actually works. I absolutely love lume. Your body almost has a short detox while adjusting to this natural deoderant but it’s one of the only ones now that I can wear without underarm smell breakthrough. It’s a cream kind of deoderant so it easily slides on but it’s not sticky. It works great.

I really love Lume whole body deodorant. I usually buy the toasted coconut but decided to try something different. After using this I will be going back to the coconut. The overall product is wonderful but this scent is wicked strong. Lume does last all day which I really like. I have used it in high humidity and high heat and have been happy with the product. I only need to apply once which is nice. This specific scent has caused some irritation when I have used it as a whole body deodorant which I did not experience with the coconut scent.

Attention ladies suffering from changes in your usual smell thanks to perimenopausal and menopausal hormone changes!! Because the chin hair wasn’t bad enough! The story goes like this…..I’m getting in bed and I’m moving the sheets around etc getting comfy and I smell this smell…like the Lumie lady says lol! Anyway I look at my husband whom I totally know is the culprit and ask if he forgot his deodorant to which he replies, “NO”. Hmmmm could it be me?? No way but I take a sniff anyway and to my surprise, IT WAS MY PITS!!! Horrified! I had never had that smell before. Thanks Mother Nature! This went on every night for a week or two. The deodorant I had used literally my whole adult life was failing my hormonally imbalanced armpits! A search for a new deodorant began. Not only did I need to eliminate that smell, I also wanted to kick the aluminum can out of my deodorant, so I went on a search for something different. I tried Schmidt’s with Charcoal and nope, still stinky, albeit less but still stinky. Then I decided to try Lumie after seeing the “smell that smell” lady over and over on social media. Let me tell you, it worked immediately and for the full 72 hours like she claims! No more Mother Nature smelly pits for me!! I love it! I have been using it for over a month now with no mind boggling odors emanating from myself! Here are my two warnings about the product. 1) it burns if you put it on right after you’ve shaved your armpits and 2) not everyone’s skin can handle it. I bought it for my hubby too and it burned him, made his skin itch and it eventually peeled. So just beware of those things. Otherwise, I am super pleased and no longer have smelly armpits to try to blame on my innocent hubby!

Absolutely love the scent. I keep getting compliments because people think its Perfume. This is also one of the few deodorants that have not impacted my Hidradenitis Suppuritiva. So far its a definite keeper.

Smells light and works well. 24 hours no problem.

Très efficace mais le parfum est trop fort et le tube n’est pas facile à utiliser à la longue car il faut régulièrement enlever les traces et dépôts qui se forment à la surface.

This is the BEST DEODORANT on the market! Love, Love, Love it!

Absolutely worth a shot. I have gone through many many deodorants. This one smells great and actually seems to work. I think you need to build up to the 72 hours as your body gets used to the product, but I will definitely repurchase. My only note is it is not an antiperspirant- which they don’t claim to be so not stars removed here. But it doesn’t keep you dry just not stinky.

Carissima ma validissima
