Aromaco Deodorant for Travel

I won't travel without some kind of deodorant and I prefer that it is easy to use, not too strong-scented and is eco-friendly.


Along the lines of being converted to cruelty free products for my travel body care kit, I have to rave about Lush's Aromaco deodorant bar.

It's a chunk of what looks like really fresh parmesan cheese. I just rub it in my pts and that's all. I have in the past just showered to get clean and not used deodorant, and I can still get away with that at home.

When traveling, though, I can get a little, well, musky. I don't like using anti-persirant because of the aluminum salts and because they block pores. Since Aromaco is just really some baking soda, kaolin and patchouli, I like using it. The patchouli smells strong when you whiff the chunk, but ends up being just a mild, masculine smell on the body. It's about perfect for a man and my wife loves the smell on me.

If you are a really stinky person, you will probably need a stronger deodorant. My wife uses a stronger Lush one, for example, the tub of cream deodorant: Aromacreme. She has Mediterranean genes and needs that stronger product.

Her product does not travel as well as mine, being a thick paste in a tub. Actually I think hers looks a little gross but she likes it.

Like I said, mine is a like block of off-white hard cheese. I just stick it in a Ziplock in my travel kit and it lasts forever.
