Microbiomix™ Balancing Deodorant

Expensive but it works for me

I had been on degree ultra clear deodorant for years. Then I learned about phthalates and tossed it. Went back to the classic crystal salt deodorant I had used in high school, but I would stink by the afternoon. I had just been reading Gut (highly recommend) and then did some research on probiotic deodorant. My theory is this
- high school : fairly normal flora and didn’t sweat much anyway
- used traditional deodorant : majorly disrupted my flora
- stopped using traditional deodorant : the stink bacteria grew way faster than the non-stink bacteria

So, I looked up a couple and Kinko seemed reasonably priced. It worked pretty much immediately. I had read some reviews of other probiotic deodorant, so I was prepared to wait out a transition period and to be extra sweaty for some time. But I didn’t have much of a transition and only got extra sweaty like twice.

I will forever buy this deodorant and will probably buy it for my husband as well.

I tried the Sakura Rose one, and it does smell nice. I think I’m more of an unscented girly though (like I don’t even like some scented hand soaps) so I will likely buy the unscented version long term.

I have been pining for the Almond Milk fragrance since the limited run ended and I’m SO glad it’s back. I hope it stays available forever!

This is the best natural deodorant I’ve tried. I’ve used all three and they’re all great. I’m super sensitive to scents but these are fine for me.

i haven't used deodorant that has aluminum in it for like 15 years - i started having allergic reactions to it. so then i went onto more natural deodorants. all of a sudden, my body started having reactions to the deodorant i had been using for years. i started smelling like onions left out on a hot porch. :') i tried other ones to no avail - all gave me the same reactions. i tried some serum deodorant and it worked okay, however, it did burn my skin when i applied it but it didn't leave any marks. i am a very sweaty gal, and so it wouldn't last long. the onion smell was killing me. i found this stuff to try, and i've been using it for like a month? and god, it is so perfect. it doesn't burn, it smells great, it lasts quite a while (i have been going to the gym about 4 times a week for a couple months now and it even lasts through that). i absolutely love it.

the scent i got was the rose one - it smells fantastic. it doesn't smell like all chemically and it's not super potent, either, which i appreciate! like you can faintly smell it if i'm right next to you and you're like "looking" for the smell.
