Product Review: Desert Essence Tea Tree Oil Deodorant

Are you looking for a great natural deodorant that is effective and will not irritate your sensitive skin? I highly recommend Desert Essence brand tea tree oil deodorant with lavender oil. Not only is it all-natural and non-irritating, it is also aluminum free.

I came across Desert Essence tea tree oil deodorant a few years ago when looking for a gentle natural deodorant to use. I needed something that had no dangerous chemicals. I was also worried about using anything that contained aluminum. My first reaction to Desert Essence deodorant was my delight at the fact that it is aluminum free. Desert Essence deodorant also contains no harsh chemicals and will not irritate skin.

Desert Essence tea tree oil deodorant is highly effective. This natural deodorant contains two key ingredients that act as safe antibacterial agents. These are tea tree oil (Melaleuca alternifolia), and lavender oil. Tea tree oil is one of the most effective antibacterial products on the market today and has a refreshing evergreen scent. Lavender essential oil is also antibacterial and has a prettier floral scent. Don't let the lavender fool you, however. This deodorant does not smell at all feminine and can be used by both men and women. My husband loves it and borrows it from me often.

A secondary active ingredient used in Desert Essence tea tree oil deodorant is Farnesol. Farnesol is a safe, natural antibacterial which occurs naturally in plants and has been tested both for its safety and its effectiveness.

In addition to its active ingredients, Desert Essence natural deodorant also includes a number of natural herbal ingredients which help to soothe and soften the skin, reducing redness and irritation. These ingredients include aloe vera gel, chamomile, and calendula extract. If you have very sensitive skin and tend to get redness, rashes, or red bumps on your underarms after shaving and applying deodorants, you may want to give Desert Essence a try.

According to the manufacturers, Desert Essence natural tea tree oil deodorant includes the following ingredients: purified water, propylene glycol, sodium stearate, oganic tea tree oil (Melaleuca alternifolia), cocamide DEA, aloe vera gel, lavender oil, Farnesol, chamomile, calendula extracts, and sodium borate.

If you are vegan, vegetarian, or if you are against using products that are tested on animals, you will be happy to know that Desert Essence tea tree oil deodorant is made without using any animal products and is tested in the United States on human volunteers, not animals.
