PiperWai Natural Deoderant - Official Review

PIPERWAI DEODERANT OFFICIAL REVIEW! 

You want me to use natural deoderant? What am I, a hippie?

Well, I think I might well be turning into one. Haha. I like vegan food. I like eating raw food on occasion. I believe that food should be our main source of medicinal relief before we ever get to synthetic. I love essential oils and how they can naturally treat different conditions. And more and more I'm more conscious about what kind of chemicals are in, not only my food, but my everyday beauty supplies.

Enter the world of natural deodorant. When I first started looking into this I was extremely hesitant to try it! I mean, I workout pretty much everyday.....will this stuff even keep me dry and smelling good? There are seriously a TON of natural deodorant products on the market. I kept hearing about PiperWai, especially after their appearance on the hit TV show "Shark Tank." I saw that they had a coupon available to be able to try it for the first time, so I went ahead and ordered it so that I could give it a go.

Here are some facts from Piperwai's website: (www.piperwai.com)

• Activated Charcoal Absorbs Wetness - Activated Charcoal can absorb 1000x its weight in moisture.
• Neutralizes Odor Naturally - Creates a pH balanced environment that keeps you smelling fresh.
• Gentle Sensitive Skin - Packed with skin conditioning ingredients that won't cause irritation.

It's also Certified Vegan, Cruelty Free, and Made in the good 'ol USA!

The ingredients are amazing natural (organic coconut oil, shea butter, and pure vitamin E) so you can feel confident putting it on your skin.

-But why should I ditch my other, cheaper store deodorant?-

Well, here's the thing....I'm not in the business to convince anyone to do anything. Everyone has to make a choice for themselves. Personally, I'm tired of looking at ingredient lists and foods and beauty/personal hygiene items and seeing more chemicals than I can count. Am I perfect on my quest to eliminate chemicals from my daily use? Absolutely not! But why not do what I CAN to start!

One of the biggest concern about the over-the-counter deodorant is the presence of aluminum. Aluminum compounds actually clog and or close pores to prevent the release of perspiration. This can cause unpleasant side effects like inflammation and also the gross build-up of bacteria. And did you ever wonder why your clothes build up that nice yellow color in the armpits? That's actually the direct result of the presence of aluminum compounds. Another thing to consider is the fact that the cause of a lot of our illnesses seem to be directly connected to the abundance of chemicals in our everyday life that we are exposed to by what we consume and apply.

So my next question to myself was, which one do I choose? I need something to withstand my daily sweat, but that still smells good, and keeps me dry. That's where PiperWai came into play. The name just kept coming up and I was hearing positive feedback from people I knew who were active like me. So I went ahead and ordered my first tub of it.

My official review:

VALUE: Hnestly, I feel that the value of this product is really good. I paid just under $15 including shipping and handling. You only use about a pea-sized amount under each arm, so I can guarantee that it will last awhile. Yes, I spent less than $5 for the Dove deodorant I used to use; but it's just like my food......what's the cost of saving a few bucks now when I can invest up front a bit more and avoid different possible health issues later.

SMELL: I didn't know what to expect from the smell when I received it. Sometimes "natural" things can actually smell terrible. Haha. So I was a bit apprehensive about that. Let me tell you, this stuff smells like the spa!! I look forward to putting it on everyday because it smells scrumptious! Very relaxing and clean!

RESIDUE: None! I am happy to report that this absorbs fully into the skin and that there is no residue left behind at all! I even did a test where I pulled a top over my head AFTER applying the product (we all know what happens when you do this with most deoderants....) and there was nothing left behind on my top.

APPLICATION: I was a bit nervous about the fact that I had to apply it with my fingers because I figured that it would be messy. But this kind of ties back to the residue part of this review. It truly does rub completely into the skin and almost feels like of powdery on your fingers, not slimy or oily or anything like that.

EFFECTIVENESS: Here is the big question, right? Because I could tell you everything above, but at the end of the day if I stink and I'm wet under my arms all day, who cares! This stuff WORKS! I am not only dry, but I smell like a spa all day long! I've been using this product everyday for a week in every situation. So I've used it when I do intense workouts, when I am doing household chores, and when I'm at work. It's effective in every situation and I love it!

OVERALL:
This is a product I will absolutely keep in my life! I don't plan on going back to my drugstore deoderant. I feel that even though this might be about 2.5-3x the cost of what we usually buy over the counter it's STILL affordable and the benefits are worth it.

So my suggestion is to defintely try it out! See what you think. If you don't like it, go back to the drugstore deoderant, no harm in that. But if you're interested in applying the best quality product, this is a great one to choose!
