ABOUT TOM'S OF MAINE

Tom's of Maine is a 45 year old company based in Kennebunk, Maine. They are a leader in natural personal and oral care brand. Tom's is a brand that we trust and in fact we use many of their products. My kids LOVE the toothpaste.

ABOUT TOM'S OF MAINE DEODORANT

A few weeks ago, I switched deodorants. I switched to Tom’s of Maine deodorant for a week to give it a try. I have never tried a natural deodorant before so I was pretty excited to make the switch.Tom’s of Maine natural deodorant is a Long Lasting Natural Deodorant. The deodorant has no aluminum, no petrochemicals, no parabens and no artificial fragrances or preservatives. In fact, Tom’s of Maine natural deodorant is clinically proven and provides:

24-hour odor protection
Uses odor-fighting hops
Uses odor-trapping zinc

The Tom's packaging is fully recyclable through local municipalities or the TerraCycle Tom’s of Maine Natural Care Brigade. Tom's also does not test on animals or use any animals ingredients.

Please note this is a deodorant (anti-odor) not an antiperspirant (anti-sweat), thus it does not protect against wetness and does not include aluminum as an active ingredient. If you perspire a lot, you may need to choose an antiperspirant, depending on your day’s activities.

OUR THOUGHTS ON TOM'S OF MAINE NATURAL DEODORANT

Tom’s of Maine natural deodorant comes in these variants:

Wild Lavender
Natural Powder
Unscented

Since I am a scent lover, I chose the Wild Lavender for my switch. It took me a few days to get used to at first because I was switching from a clinical strength deodorant. Tom's of Maine Natural Deodorant in Wild Lavender went on smooth and the scent lasted all day which I loved.

I felt like I got a lot of protection wearing the deodorant. My underarms felt smooth and I didn't notice an odor once. Although I did re-apply every day later in the afternoon if I had been particularly busy that day.

I especially love that this is a natural formula free of chemicals and artificial ingredients. That makes me feel good wearing it. It has been almost two weeks and I can confidently say that I like it. I plan to keep using Tom's of Maine Natural Deodorant in Wild Lavender but I do plan to try Natural Powder next.
