   This is one of those products that you see on the shelf and you think…what the?? And then you pick up that roll on or that speed stick and forget about the crystal. But then you get that painful underarm rash or you stain your clothes…or worse..you still smell!!!

   Well my friends…I’ve been there and done that too. I said…crystal..what crystal…I don’t need a stinking crystal. But I was wrong…I did need this crystal and for the past 5 years it’s all that I use.

   They last forever, they don’t smell, there’s no mess, there’s no aluminum garbage that may or may not cause you problems, and best of all there’s no rash and I don’t stink anymore (subject to independent verification).

   Honestly, I really can’t imagine a person wanting to use the other products after trying the crystal. These things work and they work well. It’s really amazing how well they work.

   So get yourself one and try it out. Before long you’ll be writing one of these reviews too.

   It can be hard to believe that something like this is very effective until you try it. Too different from conventional deodorants. You may have to moisten the tip a bit before applying it.

   Pros:
   
   - It really works.
   
   - Natural. Made from a certain type of mineral salts
   
   - This is a travel size, but it will still last for a very very long time.
   
   - Absolutely no scent
   
   - Non-staining
   
   - Practically Invisible
   
   - Not sticky at all.

   Cons:
   
   - Remember, this is a deodorant not an anti-perspirant

   I have been using it for a few weeks now and it keeps my body odor from offending others. Recently, I sweated through my t-shirt and my under-arms were visibly soaked, but I did not stink.

   I noticed that my underarms have to be thoroughly cleaned before rubbing the crystal stone on them, so I do so after taking a shower and using Dr. Bronner’s soap, and while my underarms are still wet, before drying off with a towel. If I wait a little bit after the shower, and bacteria have a chance to thrive before putting the stick on, it will not protect.

   I am concerned that there is Alum in this product. I am concerned that aluminum atoms could escape from the molecule and be absorbed by the body, directly in to the lymph nodes that are located in the arm-pits. The notion that we ingest traces of aluminum every day, and therefore, any aluminum absorbed from the arm-pits is negligable is fallacy. Our intestinal lining is very selective. It rushes out poisons, in the form of diarrhea, and absorbes nutriants. The intestinal lining is inately intelligent and designed for this purpose. Human’s were not designed to ingest selectively, foods or poisons, through their under-arms. Lymph node tissue is not the same as intestinal lining, therefore, to quote that it’s unessissary to do an absorption analysis, based on the fact that we eat/drink aluminum every day, is misleading.

   Read [...] FAQ and see for yourself how misleading it is. I’d like to see all tests completed, including some using lab mice, and no one better tell me that a lab mice’s physical health is more important than a human being’s. I want a deodorant that works, AND is certain not to harm, and this crystal just has not convinced me that it is safe. If anyone else knows of a better product, you’re welcome to let me know moc.oohay ta llllneerg < -backwards

   “Our data shows that molecules of alum are too large to be absorbed through the skin and in any case, even if it were possible for alum molecules to be absorbed into the skin, such amounts would be inconsequential in daily use. According to a study of our deodorant properties by Aigner McLaughlin Associates, an independent testing, consulting and research lab based in Portland, OR (please note that this study was not commissioned by Crystal(tm) but, instead, by one of our customers), it is not meaningful to conduct an absorption test because the possibility of absorption of aluminum ions through the skin “is miniscule compared to everyday intake through food, water (and inhalation), thus making any analysis data statistically insignificant.” We believe in the absolute safety of Crystal(tm) deodorants.” from [...] FAQ

   In the meantime, I’ll continue to use it, simply because it seems like the best of the bunch so far. I like that it lets me sweat, and it does not have awful smelling chemical fragrances added.

   Works great as a deodorant. I used this travel size with success for weeks and then bought the full size crystal. Full size failed me in every way. Sweat and stink. So I’m back to the travel size. This small size lasts much longer than any conventional deodorant. Antiperspirant qualities: even though it makes no claims to be such, I think it sill helps somewhat. Regular deodorants clogged my pores and seemed to make me sweat even more. I have perspired wearing this, but it seems to be less than with regular deodorant/antiperspirants. Have been using this for about a month and a half.

   It must be me because everyone else seems to love this product. I followed the application directions and it did not work for me. I had the same result as if I had not used any deodorant. It is also very heavy for its size. I want a small and light unscented travel sized deodorant. I will use my current unscented deodorant for travel. It is slightly larger but it is also much lighter.

   I’ve used uarmsol deodorant for years now and have had no problems with it.
   This deodorant is so amazing. A sprinkle pinch of the powder is all you need after shower.
   The deodorant powder contains no chemicals, no oils, and no masking of anything so it doesn’t stain clothes, or clog or dry up your skin or leaving you smelling bad afterwards.
   Uarmsol removes the worst smell you have. My armpit used to smell funky, almost like
   cockroach smell, now i am free from any odours. Even when i sweat i have no odours.
   I’m loving it and i would recommend for anybody who has any armpit odours.
   Also you don’t have to shave your armpits or worry about after sport smell !
