Getting in a good workout every day is important to me. Not only is it great for keeping the body in shape, it's a great stress reliever, does wonders for boosting the mood, and since I take my teenaged daughter with me to several fitness classes at our community center each week, it is a great way to bond with her too! I give each session my all, and most of the time that leaves me feeling and (a little tmi here!) smelling gross! I have been through almost every antiperspirant/deodorant they sell at the grocers, and I have yet to find one that leaves me feeling fresh and dry throughout my workouts. When I was offered the opportunity to try Rustic Maka Pachy Deodorants, which are formulated with only made-in-nature, organic and vegan ingredients, I was a bit skeptical, yet hopeful that it would finally give me the odor and wetness protection that I have been looking for.
Rustic Maka products are great for people who are seeking alternatives to traditional, chemically-filled health and beauty products. They formulate each of their personal care items with rich, plant-based oils, butters and powders, leaving out complicated formulas and harsh chemicals. All of Rustic Maka's products are prepared in small, carefully controlled batches, and packaged in BPA-free, environment-friendly recycled containers. So, not only are they good for the body, they are good for the planet too!
I have been using Rustic Maka Pachy deodorants for the past few weeks. I received Wild Meadows and Calming Fields scents. The Wild Meadows had a faint scent, a little like flowers and vanilla. The Calming Fields was stronger in scent, which was minty, like spearmint. When I first applied the deodorant, it did glide on wet, but completely dried after a minute or two. It does have a different consistency than traditional deodorants, feeling a little more gritty at first as you glide it on, but it blends nicely with a few swipes. What I really liked was that it didn't bead up and leave deodorant chunks in the creases of my underarms. While it didn't keep me 100% dry during my workouts, I did notice an improvement in overall dryness, and it did a fabulous job of keeping odor at bay!
My teen daughter sweats as much as I do during our workouts, and my pre-teen is just noticing the need to start using deodorant daily. I like Rustic Maka's commitment to offering quality products that are good for our bodies, so I feel good about letting my young girls use the products too!
Rustic Maka products are USA made and are never tested on animals. Believing less is more, their Pachy deodorants do not contain toxic chemicals, no parabens, no aluminum, no gluten, no corn, no soy, no GMO, no triclosen, and no propylene-glycol.

sounds very natural!
ReplyDeleteLOVE that they aren't tested on animals. I will have to try this. Lord knows, my 10 year old can use it, too!
ReplyDeleteI would like to try the Angels of Hope. I don't use much deoderant because I don't like all the additives. This would work great for me.
ReplyDeleteI have never heard of this brand and most natural deodorants leave me feeling sticky, so maybe I'll have to try this one out!
ReplyDeleteI have never heard of this brand, but have not had much success with the natural ones in the past, I'm glad you and your daughter are finding it effective for you!

I'd love to try this. I have yet to find a deodorant that doesn't make my armpits hot and red. Blech!
ReplyDeleteThis sounds like a good product! It's amazing how many deodorants you can go through before finding a good one.
ReplyDeleteSounds interesting and like something I could use most definitely! The deodorants I buy are super expensive!
ReplyDeleteThis sounds really great. I'm all about all natural products.
ReplyDeleteI have not tried these but I need to. I have very sensitive underarms and this sounds like the perfect product to help with that.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you found something you like. I think I'll enter. :)
ReplyDeleteI would choose Rough Rivers. Of course it wouldn't be for me though, it'd be for hubby. He likes toiletries (and candy, lolol) in his Christmas stocking.
ReplyDeleteI havent heard of this brand before but I love that its natural perfect for my sister with sensitive skin.
ReplyDeleteI have very sensitive underarms, so I really love the idea of an organic deodorant. Most of the deodorants on the market are very irritating to me.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a good one as it avoids all that added crap. Thankfully just the cats are around when i workout and stink haha
ReplyDeleteMy daughter has to use deodorants that are more natural. Unfortunately many of them don't work well. This one sounds great.
ReplyDeleteI've yet to find a natural deodorant that's effective. This one sounds interesting.

ReplyDeleteI will definitely be checking this out. I use only natural deodorant - my body can not tolerate the aluminum that is used to make not natural deodorant.
ReplyDeleteI will have to check this out! I've honestly never used a natural deodorant.
ReplyDeleteI've never heard of Maka Pachy before, but I do use all-natural deodorants. I'll check it out!
ReplyDeleteI have heard about how hazardous regular deodorant can be to our health. So many chemicals! I want to try a more natural deodorant, so I will check out Rustic Maka Pachy!
ReplyDeleteMy teenage son needs this. I try and use all natural products as well since we have very sensitive skin. I think he will really enjoy using this.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a great natural product. I have been switching stuff to natural, one product at a time. It's a long process but every step I take is in a better direction.
