NOTE: Salt deodorants work by killing the bacteria that cause odors under your arm. It is not an antiperspirant, it's more a natural antibacterial. You will absolutely not like this item if you are looking for something to stop you from sweating.
I purchased 2 brands of salt crystal, both are identical and this review covers both from my experience.
Pros: Last a long time, no odor, natural, no chemicals or additives, works great on under arm smell, lasts a couple days after applied,
Cons: not an antiperspirant, some people find it ineffective, easily broken if dropped
I purchased this for the first time after trying many, many different types of deodorants and antiperspirant. Between living in Florida and L.A. heat was a given, and sweat happens. I would notice that when I used most deodorants I would not sweat, and there wasn't a "sweat smell" under my arms, but there was a weird unpleasant smell that would happen sometimes. A sort of "dirty deodorant smell" that would appear towards the end of the day and the "deodorant balls" that formed under my arms (yuck) with some deodorants. I tried all sorts of brands, different scents, unscented, roll-on, stick, gel based. Most were fine, no sweat, no gross under arm sweat smell, but by the end of the day it was all the same, almost like the stuff had broken down and got funky. I have a sensitive nose, and even if no one else smelled anything, I did and it was gross.
One day I was reading about using salt to kill bacteria that caused odors, and someone mentioned salt for deodorant. I was up for anything so I purchased some. I used it the day I got it, I was sure it would fail, and was actually amazed that it worked. While I did sweat in the heat, there was absolutely no odor, no sweat stains, no clumpy white stuff under my arms. The lack of smell was actually unbelievable. It took me a while to get used to feeling wet under my arms sometimes and not thinking "Oh no! I am gonna smell!" but after a while I just trusted I would not smell even while sweating.
My husband, who is very manly and can kick some deodorant butt when working in the yard, tried it after a few months of seeing me use it. Let me tell you now that I really did not think it would work on him and was shocked when it did. When he uses it he can sweat like a pig, but there is no odor. Actually works better for him when he knows he is going to be sweating because most antiperspirant aren't going to stop you from sweating at the gym (or working in the yard) and fail you so why bother. The salt didn't fail and he was odor free... sweaty, but odor free.
As an added bonus, I found this out a few times while camping, that if I couldn't put more salt on the next day, as long as you haven't washed it off or showered, it works just the same! I also learned on that same camping trip that if you did start smelling you could rub more salt stick under your arms and it killed the smell within moments (It was a LONG camping trip -lol-).
For smelly feet folks it will work on your feet, too. Jump out of the shower, rub it on your feet and between toes if you can, and let it dry a bit before putting on shoes. Wives, get your hubby to do this and you will thank me later.
When you first use it it feels like you are putting nothing on and it can be weird. There is no white or gel goop to show you everything is covered. Just make sure to wet the stick and rub it EVERYWHERE under your arms. I actually go up my arm a bit and down my side a bit, not just the center underarm. There is no such thing as using too much, so go to town. After a little while you will get the hang of it and it will be nothing. Putting it on after a shower makes it simple, I don't even dry under my arms, I just rub the salt bar while wet and make it easy. I also took mine out of the bottom part and rub it longways under my arms, it covers much more area per swipe and makes it much faster to apply.
Be aware that if you drop this it can shatter and be useless. I dropped mine and had to purchase another after it broke into a million sharp pieces.
Overall, I personally LOVE it. I use it everyday, and have never been let down, but I am ok with being wet under my arms on very hot occasions as long as I know I will not smell. For some people this will be a deal-breaker. It will not stop you from sweating, it will just stop you from smelling. If you are ok with that, you will absolutely love it.

FABULOUS PRODUCT, SUBPAR CONTAINER
This is, hands down, the best deodorant I've ever used...by a mile. It completely eliminates odor and perspiration. It dries quickly, and when it does, there is no film, no mushy clumps, no white dust. My son did not report the same success...but I suspect that has to do with the fact that he has hair in his armpits, and so the product wasn't making direct contact with his skin. I suggested he shave his armpits and give it a try, but he wasn't willing to do that.My single complaint with the product is the packaging. I'm now on my third container of deodorant, but not because I ran out. One of the other benefits of this product is that it lasts FOREVER--the product is basically a mineral salt rock, and thusly takes years to wear down--but the container it comes in does not. Each time I buy the product, it gets to about the 1-year mark, and the container breaks down. The last one I had was bought on June 5, 2023, but as I used it, the twist knob became more and more difficult to turn. I'd turn the tube upside down to try and get gravity to help move the stone out. I'd hear all sorts of gravel or debris in the gears, and yeah...it was a struggle to get it out. The final nail in the coffin was a brief wrestle with it that caused it to leap out of my hands and onto the floor, shattering the mineral stone. There was a lot left, but once the surface is broken like that, it's too sharp for comfort, so I threw it out and bought a new one. I guess that's their way of inserting some planned obsolescence.
