BEAUTY

If you have tried natural deodorants in the past you know that it’s not easy to find one that really takes the place of your everyday ordinary one’s.  I’ve gone through several and finally stumbled across one that works for me.  What does it smell like?  Nothing.  Not even at the end of the day.  You stay fresh but it seriously smells like nothing.  I can’t explain it.  All I know is that when I read the ingredients, I can understand every single one listed and I like that.
