Aluminum-Free Deodorant THAT ACTUALLY WORKS

DEODORANT!

What’s that?

I kid, I kid.

BUT REALLY- WHAT! A! TOPIC! ON! THE SKINNY CONFIDENTIAL!

I mean, don’t you feel? I personally feel that’s it’s such a topic from 2015-ish. You know? Like, my God- we have talked about it for decades right? This topic has been TESTED- let me tell ya. I have taken advice from so many different people on this subject & experimented my little heart out, but…at the same time, have been weary when in the situation. Weary, because finding an aluminum-free deodorant is tough, guys. It’s not a joke. It needs to be just…right. I want TEXTURE! CONSISTENCY! COLOR! VIBE! THE WORKS!

I want it all- & I’d like it delivered.

Anyway, I have been a long time fan of Kopari so when they launched a new festive deodorant you know I was first in line to try.

I first heard about it from one of their amazing team members, Amanda. She raved about it- she told me not only did SHE love it but her boyfriend ( shout out to Todd ) LOVED it too. I knew this was serious shit because I know Todd & I know his line of work & let me tell ya- it requires some serious deodorant. So I was like, ya PERHAPS I need to give this a real try, you know? Not a half-ass try but like a real try. One that means using it morning & night for a few months. So I did.

And here we are months later. Turns out, Todd was right. So with that, let’s discuss why I LIKE this deodorant. But even beyond that- why I am continuing to use it ( PRAISE THE LORD FOR MICHAEL ) & even more so: why I recommend it to YOU & why YOU can recommend it to YOUR friends. We’ll get into it.

KEY BENEFITS OF NATURAL DEODORANT:

First off, it’s an aluminum & baking soda-free deodorant that works with your body’s natural functions to aid in odor reduction. It’s this invisible formula that glides on smooth & works with your job- you know? Like it lasts. Basically it’s guaranteed to leave you smelling like fresh coconut milk. Who the hell doesn’t want to smell like fresh coconut milk? I AM IN. To get SPECIFIC FOR YOU, IT’S ALSO:

♡ ALUMINUM-FREE:

“Sweat is natural, aluminum on your bod is not. Unjunk your funk and break up with antiperspirant. Aluminum found in deodorants blocks your sweat glands, preventing you from sweating. While this may sound like a good thing, sweating is the body’s natural way to expel toxins on the daily.” YOU BETTER BET I studied Kopari’s site, info, etc. I always do when I am using a product so this point was particularly important to me. Everyone wants aluminum-free under their arms, by their boobs. The whole aluminum thing is what made me weird about deodorant in the first place so using one WITHOUT aluminum that works is a real big deal.

“You don’t need aluminum to fight the funk. You just need coconuts.”

Again, I’m in? Hello!!

♡ NON-TOXIC FORMULA:

No aluminum. No parabens. No baking soda. No nasties. Like I said above- it’s nothing weird by your pits. Not a fan of chemicals by my tits!

♡ DELICIOUS, SWEET COCONUT SMELL:

HOW TO CLEANSE YOUR PITS: A DETOX

When making the switch to a clean deodorant, you might experience a short detox period. Don’t sweat it! Possible pit detox stages, here’s what to expect per KOPARI ( & in my experience, this is very much CORRECT) :

Stage 1:

“I’m sweaty & a little smelly.”​ ​Your pores are starting to detox and are somewhat plugged.

Stage 2:

​“The funk is real.” Your pits are in full purge mode. Just wash up butter cup!

Stage 3:

“Smelling better.” B​abe​,​ you got this. Keep up the detox, your pits are still purging.

Stage 4:

“Clean as a coconut.” ​Smelling fresh, sweating less. Detox finished.”

Anyway. As you can see after a month of straight use, I’m a fan. So much so that I had to share my feelings with The Skinny Confidential Community. I mean: it works. There’s no aluminum. It doesn’t stain my clothes. The texture is right. And it’s cute.

What more can a girl ask for?

Maybe a margarita? Sure, why not.

You should know Kopari is always a generous star and giving you guys a V special offer ( one that my own sister is using !! ). Use code “TheSkinnyConfidential” for 25% off deodorant.

AND during Breast Cancer Awareness Month, Kopari is donating $1 for every deodorant sold in the month of October to the Let’s F Cancer Foundation. LOVE.

With that, I’m off to bed- & don’t mean to brag but I don’t smell like I normally do. No, for real- I normally used to smell at night. I won’t wear deodorant & it would like smell up the bed. Now bedtime smells like a tropical Hawaiian coconut party basically.

Lucky Michael.
