Super excited for this one! And after trying the charcoal option my husband was excited to try something new as well. We used this one together. I am starting to expect the best from Schmidt, they haven’t let me down yet with their natural options and as they continue to expand on their line I love that we get the diversity of choice. My husband is being converted quickly, and he definitely prefers this one to any used prior. He says it lasted him even with a hard day at work. I like a more fun scent but he was in love with this earthy sandalwood and citrus blend. With Schmidt’s easy awesome options I’ve almost got him fully converted to natural deodorants, making that small change I think is a great step in natural living. -

This is the second round of Natural deodorants from Schmidt’s that’s I’ve been able to review for this site. The Pineapple Coconut may be my absolute favourite! It smells SO GOOD. And is the softest and smoothest application I’ve had yet. This may be because it’s a sensitive skin formula, but either way it go on beautifully. The best part of Schmidt’s deodorants is that they feel nice all day. It realistically is like wearing nothing on your skin. There is no tackiness or sweaty feelings throughout the day and I don’t feel like I need to wash it off at night like some other natural options.
I’m sure there is an aspect of personal preference but I loved the smell of the tropical blend if pineapple and coconut! If you aren’t a fan of those then you may not like this one but it was present enough to be enjoyable but not overwhelming.
I would recommend this deodorant for anyone who wants a fun fruity and soft option that will last all day! If you have sensitive skin this the Schmidt option for you!

I’ve never used Degrees products before because I was always weary of the ingredients. When I was given the chance to try their new 0% aluminum free deodorant for free I thought, “hey why not!” But I honestly didn’t think I’d like it as much as I did. Surprisingly smooth, and smelled great. The citrus one especially! I always have issues with stress sweat and natural deodorants very often don’t work all day but this one did! It’s nice to see a company taking a real interest in the ingredients they are putting into their products and putting out a great natural alternative for people to try. -

When I was given the chance to try their new 0% aluminum free deodorant for free I honestly didn’t have high hopes. But this stuff is great. I love the citrus smell! I have issues with stinky stress sweat and natural deodorants very often don’t work all day but this one kept me smelling awesome. Natural deodorants are one of the easiest ways I keep toxic ingredients out of my body and so I’m always looking for new great options. I was super surprised to see degree putting their hat in the ring, but I would definitely keep using this one. -

So I moved out west from Southern Ontario, and one of the biggest changes I had to deal with was going from humid, HUMID, so humid you could chew the air weather to DRY dessert heat. My skin and hair hate me. Itchy, irritated and a constant annoyance. Enter the Body shops Ginger hair care line, and more specifically their new ginger scalp serum! Well someone set off the fireworks! No more grating at my head daily!
The best part of this serum is you can put it in wet or dry hair and it’s not oily. I was using a manuka honey oil before this and had to only treat on my days off because my hair got so incredibly oily and gross. This serum doesn’t have that and smells like delicious ginger to boot! It got rid of my dry flaky scalp in under a week.
I heard from some people that it helped their hair grow too, I haven’t seen that but I’ve only been using it a few months now so maybe down the road.
I very much love this (and the whole ginger line) and will continue to use it.

I grabbed these as an impulse buy when my local save on had them in the discount section of the natural foods aisle. The box boasted sugar, lactose, nut and gluten free with only 25 calories a serving as well as being low carb, non GMO and vegan friendly. The main ingredient is potato starch and it uses stevia to sweeten. I purchased two boxes and made one with traditional 2% milk For my husband and one with cashew milk (Which is my favourite of the nut milks when looking for a rich creamy effect)
I have to be honest I didn’t expect much, but I was so pleasantly surprised with not only the taste but the consistency of the product once set. It was very similar to a regular pudding. It was creamy and surprising sweet. I added some blueberries to mine but you really didn’t need anything. The vanilla taste was great by itself.
The absolute best part is how easy this was to make. I just used a hand whisk and a stainless steel bowl. I whisked first about 2 minutes and it thickened up very easily ( the regular milk did thicken slightly faster than the cashew milk) you only need to let the pudding sit for 5 minutes and then it’s ready to eat! No waiting for a long time set. I did also save some and eat it the next day and it was just as good, there was a slight drying on top but nothing like the pudding crust I’ve seen from other products.
When I returned to the store to get more the discounted ones were gone and the regular price point was almost double at 3.99CDN. That is quite pricey for the amount of dessert it makes but I would buy these anytime they were on sale, or if I was really craving a sweet dessert I won’t feel too bad about indulging in.

If you want a nice quality soda but need to get away from all those sickly sweet options out there than these Canada Dry Premium craft sodas are for you. Using Cane sugar and real brewed ginger root it’s the mature and sexy older sister of the ginger ale you used to know. I got a chance to try the ginger beer flavour for free but I would definitely grab the other flavours as well. I bet the tonic water would make a mean Gin and Tonic. The ginger beer brings that strong spicy ginger flavour that I like in my ginger teas and balances out the sweetness in there really well as they are not too heavy handed on the cane sugar. The ingredients list in itself is very limited, so if you are concerned about a lot of useless additives you won’t find those here. Being a premium soda the price point is on the higher side at 8.99$CDN for a 4pk but that is comparable to other products offering the same quality. I really liked this product, and although I don’t indulge in sodas often, when I do, these offer a great option I will definitely take advantage of. -

Amazing product! This deodorant stood up to an entire day of me skateboarding down by the beach without having to be reapplied and it’s light fresh scent was so subtle it didn’t bother my scent-sensitive husband at all! The Shea butter and coconut oil left my skin still feeling smooth and honestly knowing all the ingredients in the product (and being able to pronounce them all !) make me feel confident in the safety of using it on my body. -

I LOVE this deodorant! Natural deodorant usually is way to hard and you need to wait for every just to get it on but this slides on so nice and smooth! And it smells FANTASTIC! the light rose scent is so nice, and I am not a floral person at all. And it uses hemp seed oil and Shea butter so it feels so nice on the skin too.... Even when I’m sweating! The fact that a product this great doesn’t have aluminum salts or artificial fragrance is crazy! 5/5 the best natural deodorant I’ve used yet. -
