I stink. My armpits are a place to be avoided. Recently I came across a post about Deodorant Stones and I wondered what the buzz was all about.

You might have caught a glimpse on TikTok or heard about them from the trendsetting brand Salt & Stone.

Let's dive into the world of deodorant stones and uncover why they're becoming the new go-to for keeping fresh the natural way, answering all your burning questions along the way.

What's the Scoop on Deodorant Stones?

Imagine a world where your deodorant is a sleek, smooth stone made from mineral crystal, specifically potassium alum (not to be confused with your kitchen's aluminum foil).

This isn't your average fragrance-laden stick; it's nature's answer to underarm stench, free from synthetic fragrances and, yes, aluminum.

The Rise of the Stone

The journey of deodorant stones from obscurity to the limelight has been turbocharged by TikTok, led by the brand Salt & Stone. Their deodorant has seen a whopping 400% spike in searches over the past five years. 

The Salt & Stone Saga: A Review Roundup

I took a hard look at what people are saying about the most popular deo stone on Amazon. Here's the lowdown from the trenches of the reviews:

The Good:

• Spa-like scent? Check. It’s pleasant, long-lasting, and makes you feel like you're perpetually in zen mode.
• Aluminum-free for the win, making sensitive skin sing with joy.
• Battles the stink all day, even when you're hitting the gym hard.
• As comfy as your favorite tee, with zero stains to prove it.

The Bad:

• That price tag might have you sweating more than your workout does.
• Some folks find the scent does a Houdini, pulling a disappearing act a tad too soon.
• Might need a pit stop for a refresh. Yep, reapplication could be on the cards.

Despite a few raised eyebrows over the price and the scent's staying power, the crowd goes wild for Salt & Stone’s Natural Deodorant. It’s got the efficacy, skin-friendliness, and aroma, ticking boxes for those on the hunt for a natural, aluminum-free option.

Why is it better to use aluminum-free deodorant?

It's like this: some say using aluminum to shut down your sweat glands is like putting a stopper in a volcano.

Plus, for the sensitive-skinned among us, aluminum could be the frenemy that turns a chill day into a scratch fest. *raising my hand

Then there's a discussion linking aluminum to some seriously unfriendly health guests, like breast cancer and Alzheimer's. Although science hasn't confirmed, the idea has plenty of folks giving aluminum the side-eye.

And for those dealing with kidney issues, aluminum is not fun for kidneys that aren’t on their A-game.

So, with all these whispers and side-eyes, it's no wonder that the switch to deodorant stones feels less like a trend and more like a wellness choice.

It's about keeping it real with your pits, opting for a block of potassium alum instead of aluminum.

What's Next for the Deodorant Stone Revolution?

Deodorant stones are leading the charge in the Zero-Waste Deodorant meta trend. With sustainability and waste reduction topping the charts of consumer concerns, it's no surprise. After all, who wants to contribute to the 15 million pounds of plastic waste churned out by the deodorant industry each year?

Awareness is through the roof, with 64% of personal care shoppers weighing sustainability heavily in their choices. That's why brands like Lume and Wild are jumping on the zero-waste bandwagon, offering deodorants that love your skin and the planet.
