How our Original Deodorants work:
Unpleasant odor is caused by skin bacteria when we sweat -- so how can you eliminate this odor naturally?
Inhibit the growth of odor-causing bacteria. The antimicrobial action of the botanical ingredient hops inhibits the growth of odor-causing bacteria.
Improved odor protection with hops. Tom's of Maine created the first natural deodorant in 1976. Since then, we've continued to pursue innovative new plant and mineral ingredients that deliver improved odor protection. We're excited to tell you about our latest breakthrough in this new formula -- hops (Humulus lupulus). Our research has shown that the active ingredients in hops significantly inhibit the growth of odor-causing bacteria. Using hops also allows us to balance the overall formula for improved effectiveness while reducing the possibility of skin irritation.

I originally purchased the Calendula scented stick but found it to be very strong smelling (almost masculine)- my adult kids knew I was wearing it from far away and would wrinkle up their noses at the smell. I purchased the unscented one and there is absolutely no smell. It goes on smooth, dries quickly, doesn't leave residue on my black sleeveless dress or shirts. I am in a high activity profession and sweat a lot while I am working and I can go a full 12 hours or longer with no body odor using this product. I like that it doesn't clash with any perfume I might wear and that it goes on clear. I don't like that when you first open the package the product has an indentation that makes it uncomfortable to apply but it goes away after 3 or 4 uses and becomes smooth.

I love Tom's products and really wanted this one to work since I don't like the idea of blocking sweat glands. I used it for a couple of weeks but found that it never stopped being sticky and I always felt sweaty. I don't think it did much for odor either. I switched to a natural rock product and these problems were eliminated. Sorry Tom's.
Comments about Tom's of Maine Original Care Natural Aluminum Free Deodorant Stick, Unscented, 2.25 oz:
I really wanted to love this deodorant, because it doesn't contain any of the horribly harmful ingredients many others do.....however, evidently it also doesn't contain anything that works either. I don't actually perspire much, and I was horrified when I went to a dinner, and most definitely smelled funky within hours after showering- in December!!!! I honestly think I smelled way worse than if I haven't put anything on! To give it a fair shake I tried it one more time-at home on my day off- with the same results. I would never ever buy this product again.
Comments about Tom's of Maine Original Care Natural Aluminum Free Deodorant Stick, Unscented, 2.25 oz:
It is UNSCENTED, truly does not smell much - which many unscented products do. It works for normal use for a normal day. It is less problematic for sensitive skin than most products to prevent odor.
Comments about Tom's of Maine Original Care Natural Aluminum Free Deodorant Stick, Unscented, 2.25 oz:
I have been a user of Tom's products since the founding of the company in the 1970's and was aprehensive when the company was sold to a major manufacturer several years ago. Not a problem! Other than discontinuing some product lines what has remained is still a high quality natural product.
All of the Tom's deodorants, scented and unscented, are effective, long lasting, and a great value. With daily use one one stick lasts for over three months. I highly recommend this product for both men and women.
Comments about Tom's of Maine Original Care Natural Aluminum Free Deodorant Stick, Unscented, 2.25 oz:
Other deodorants made me itch for days so I wouldn't use them and I would end up stinking. I found Tom's and it changed everything. Due to its being hypoallergenic, I can use it without fear of itching. I use it everyday and have no problems. It keeps me dry and stops the odor. I highly recommend this product.
Comments about Tom's of Maine Original Care Natural Aluminum Free Deodorant Stick, Unscented, 2.25 oz:
I have been using the Tom's stick and roll-on deoderants for many years. My dad was a chemist and he always warned about using antiperspirants, saying that sweating is the body's way of detoxing and cooling off. Well of course I didn't listen (who wants to be a teen sweating like crazy etc.)Later after I wizened up a bit, I started paying more attention to what I put in and on my body. For the first few weeks of using this stuff I sweated like crazy, but then it seemed to pan out. A trick I found that helps the longivity of odor control is to first apply the roll-on and once it drys then apply the stick.

Hard to find locally in stores so glad that Drugstore.com carries it. They ran a special so was able to buy 2 - for home and traveling - and save money to boot! This is unscented, doesn't have any bad ingredients in it, and doesn't bother my skin. Highly recommended!
Comments about Tom's of Maine Original Care Natural Aluminum Free Deodorant Stick, Unscented, 2.25 oz:
I use this everyday and so long as I precede that application with a shower it does a great job of protecting all day long. :) It does take a little while for it to dry out for me, but I also sweat a lot so it could be my sweat is working against it. Also when I first used it I got a very mild rash, but it disappeared after a week so unless other people post about that it was also probably just me. It's mild scent also lets you put on cologne without having conflicting smells. I would definitely recommend this to anyone looking for a good natural alternative to standard deodorants.
