How to use
This concentrated deodorant is strong and effective. Use only one light swipe per armpit. Not recommended for sensitive skin.
Transition period from aluminum deodorant: Aluminum based antiperspirants include big brand products, as well as alternative products like crystal sticks, alum sticks and mineral salt sticks. When switching away from these, you might experience a detox effect for a few days to a couple weeks.
What we mean by detoxing is: you may be more stinky and sweaty at first while your body is ridding itself of the buildup that has accumulated with antiperspirant use. Antiperspirants block the pores so sweat can’t get out. Your body needs to sweat to remove waste.
Re-apply as needed: You may want to reapply during the first few weeks until the detoxing is finished. To reapply, first wipe the area dry, then just use one light swipe to refresh your protection. After the detox period, the deodorant should last 8 hours without need to reapply.
How long it lasts
A cube typically lasts 6-8 months with proper use.
Warnings
If you shave, wax or epilate, or for sensitive skin: As with any deodorant, we do not recommend applying directly after shaving or hair removal, and we recommend using an extra layer of cream or moisturizer (a small bit of shea butter works great) first if the skin is particularly sensitive and prone to irritation. Apply the moisturizer or oil or butter first then apply the deodorant.
High heat: Keep your deodorant out of direct heat or sun (for example your car in the summer) because your deodorant could melt at very high temperatures.
Storage and Care
Store in airtight container: For the unpackaged deodorants, keep it in an airtight container to prevent it from getting dry. This is especially a factor in dry climates.
What to do if it dries out: It may evaporate over time and the stick will become drier, and glide less. This doesn't mean it's no longer working - it still will work and be effective. You can re-hydrate it by spritzing with water or using a wet finger to get the “slippery” feeling again.
How to use it
Have switched deodorant once or twice - will always come back to this, and will only stick to the SolidSilk moving forward. The only truly effective deodorant for me!
After years of searching for a deodorant that worked and contained ingredients that I felt comfortable with, No Tox Life is my forever choice. It works better than anything I tried!
I found the desert rose and citrus deodorant at a farmers market in San Francisco in 2018. I have never bought a different type since. This stuff WORKS and it smells amazing. I’m so glad I found this and plan to use it for the rest of my life <3
The absolute best!
I’ve already posted about the desert rose sent. I bought this one for my everyday purse (I keep essentials in my purse due to the amount I travel professionally.) the detox bar is amazing & a game changer!
I again cannot express my adoration and appreciation for this company and product more.
I am not someone who writes reviews often. However, I would be remiss if I did not write one here.
I could not LOVE this product more. I have attempted to make the switch to aluminum free deodorant in the past, on multiple occasions. This has been the 1st of 8 other similar products that I actually like. I followed the instructions to a T, have not had a single issue with the toxins being expelled or transition to aluminum free. And for full transparency, I am someone who prefers the clinical level of other namebrand popular products.
There’s no turning back for me, am beyond grateful that I don’t feel like I am sacrificing my preferences or needs.
I have already repurchased and I’m not through my first one yet.

I've been using this deodorant for a few years now, maybe since 2020ish. Finally got my husband to start using it (I appreciate the darker packaging change up!) and he really likes it. He's a military pilot and works long hours, but still comes home smelling nice. :) We love the earl grey scent but I've tried them all and there isn't a bad option. Although very pricey, it's the one "alternative" thing we try to splurge on when we can swing it!
This has been my only deodorant for years now. I used to have reactions to many of the brands I tried previous to this, but I've never had any negative effects from No Tox deodorants. I will continue to use this until the end of time. Please never stop making it! Thank you!
These deodorants are oil free which is also what I wanted. I truly see no reason to put any type of oil in deodorant when you're trying to prevent a sweat. I just don't understand why anyone would want to add oil. Any type of oils- carrier or essential. So anyways I just wanted to add that plus to my review(s)
And I really wanted to put it through the test because I wanted a deodorant that was low waste, cruelty free, vegan, palm oil free, and I really wanted it to contain bamboo because I sweat a lot and the typical arrowroot that's in every deodorant doesn't work for me. Bamboo works for me because of the amount of water it can hold. It's just amazing. I learned about bamboo with the Ethique deodorants. I don't care for Ethique though because they have zinc and it turns my skin white and gets on my clothes. So back to it, it has been over 2 months and it works! I love it! It's not overpowering with the fragrance which is what I wanted because my skin is sensitive and it's particularly sensitive in that area of my underarms. Plus I wear perfume and I don't want the scent to clash with that. It's perfect. I just absolutely love it and I am now a permanent customer. Now I know for a fact these deodorants are cruelty free but is it possible for you guys to get certified with Leaping Bunny? I don't believe it costs anything unless you want the branding on your items. But you would be listed on their website and app for free and it's just really important to me. I'll continue to buy either way but if you guys would at least give it thought I would truly appreciate it.
