I believe in reading ingredient labels for not only food products, but products that I put on my family’s skin as well. But it can be so confusing to know exactly what things to look out for and what to avoid.
Why take a chance?
Tom’s of Maine is a brand that believes not only in providing products that are better for people, they also believe in providing products that are better for the environment. Their products include natural toothpaste, mouthwash, dental floss, bar soap, body wash, body lotion, hand cream, lip balm, baby care products and deodorant.
Tom’s of Maine deodorant products are free of aluminum, artificial fragrances and petrochemicals.
I have been using Tom’s of Maine products for a couple of years now because of what’s NOT in them. I feel like they are a safer choice for my family.
Tom’s of Maine Long Lasting Natural Deodorant is clinically proven to have 24-hour odor protection. It is not tested on animals and doesn’t contain any animal ingredients. The packaging is also fully recyclable!
When I switched to using Tom’s of Maine deodorant there was a short period of adjustment. I did notice more odor for a couple of days, but that seemed to taper off. It can take your body a couple of days to adjust to a new, more natural product. Now, I don’t notice any more odor than I did with my old deodorant.
Tom’s of Maine deodorant is not an antiperspirant and so will not prevent you from sweating, but even when sweating I didn’t notice extreme odor. My favorite scent is the wild lavender! I love knowing that there is nothing lurking in my deodorant that may be dangerous.
Tom’s of Maine deodorant gives me peace of mind that I am not adding potentially dangerous chemicals to especially sensitive parts of my skin.

I have no idea why but you reminded me that I need to go back to Tom of Maine’s deodorant especially since my daughter is now of age to use deodorant. Thanks for the very thoughtful review.
I keep hearing great things about Toms products! I am going to have to check this deodorant out. I spend so much on mine and I haven’t a clue whats in it, and I’d much rather something like this!
I think the week long transition period where you have odor is what causes most people to quit using it. I will have to try it soon.
Sounds great! I think it’s important to look at labels too, I like to choose a product that helps with my own personal PH balance. If it helps that, then usually the odor is minimal.
It is crazy what ends up in the products we use! I love the Tom’s Of Maine brand, their brand never disappoints me quality wise.
I really like Toms of Maine deodorant. I haven’t tried it with lavender yet. I’ll have to pick one up next time I’m at the health food store.
I think being natural is a plus for Tom’s. It would be a lot safer compared to other deodorants.
I haven’t tried the deodorant but this is interesting. I am going to have to check it out, for sure!
I have never tried Tom’s deodorant before but have heard good things about it. I love the fact that is all natural so I will have to pick some up for sure. Thanks for sharing.
I’ve never used Tom’s of Maine deodorant, though it looks like something worth trying. Thanks for sharing!
I haven’t tried this brand out yet but I plan on it. Anything that keeps the smell fresh I am all for it.
I’ve heard many good things about this brand. You’re right that sometimes your body needs time to adjust to a change like this. Thanks for the honest review.
I’ve not tried Tom’s of Main deodorant, just their toothpaste! I’m interested to see how I would adjust to it since I use the “other” deodorant/antiperspirant.
Oh no, I don’t even read the content label of the deodorant I’m using. Reading this made me think about it. I might give this a try too. Thanks for sharing!
No Aluminum sounds like no harm, I’ve never tried this and I’d love to try it because you of your awesome review.
