Their words didn’t fall on deaf ears, and I went on to read articles which brought up questions and concerns.
But it wasn’t until my own daughter started getting older that I got serious about it, refusing to let her use something that included ingredients found on cautionary lists:
- aluminum
- parabens
- synthetic fragrances
- triclosan
While, according to Cancer.gov, there are questions regarding a definitive link between these ingredients and breast cancer, there’s enough information to raise concerns for this mama. Also those with sensitive skin can be affected in other ways and not everyone is keen on putting so many chemicals and unknowns onto their bodies.
After trying a few natural deodorants from our local health stores and not finding one that really worked, I became discouraged.
Not much later, I received an e-mail from Truly’s Natural Products, asking if I was interested in sampling and reviewing their product.
Of course I jumped at the opportunity.
I’ve never been so excited in my life to receive a hygiene product in the mail!
First off, the jar graphics are cool! But as a lover of coconut, I was immediately drawn in as the deep, sultry, yet subtle, fragrance of organic coconut filled my senses.
And most importantly, it worked! It really worked! Even after a high intensity workout, it still worked!
As for her ingredient list? Forget the unknowns, and check out these simple and familiar items:
- Organic coconut oil
- Powdered sugar (Sugar, cornstarch)
- Baking soda
- Beeswax
I found the list explaining the significance of each ingredient especially interesting.
Overall, Truly’s Natural Deodorant is excellent for the whole family, including children, pre-teens, teens and those with sensitive skin.

Awesome. I find with the natural deodorants, they may work for an hour , but by mid-day, they have nothing on this Texas heat. I really would love the chance to win some to try for myself and family.
I hope you win! Also, she offers a money back guarantee, so if you do get some and it doesn’t suit your needs, you can return it. She has excellent communication, so feel free to e-mail her with any questions.
Looks great. I have been looking for something for my pre-teen dd who is has very sensitive skin. No chemicals and artificial scents (chemicals) would be great.
I hear ya, Erika!!! My children’s skin is incredibly sensitive, which is why we switched to cloth diapers. So far my oldest hasn’t had any issues. 🙂
I like their ingredients…..same as in a cake 🙂
And I am looking for one for myself to try. I’ve tried one that’s so/so (but natural).
I know (about the cake ingredients). Isn’t that cool? It has a lovely fragrance. 🙂
Have been looking for a decent alternative for a while…no luck yet! I hope this works 🙂
I have made my own deodorant using coconut oil, cornstarch and baking soda, but no beeswax. I really like it although I tend to get rashy. I would love to try this one with beeswax to see if that helps at all.
Coming over from Making Mondays Sing link-up.
I didn’t know that they made natural deodorant for kids- very exciting!
I’ve been wanting to try a natural deodorant, but didn’t know where to start. This may be my answer!
Would be really fun to give this a try.
I just learned that children can also use this and:
What is NOT in Truly’s Natural Deodorant
•Aluminum
•Propylene glycol
•Parabens
•Triclosan
•Steareth-n
•Phthalates
Thanks!

I love coconut oil! We use it a lot! And I didn’t realize you could put it in your deodorant! Awesome!

I had no idea the powdered sugar would work to destroy and prevent bacteria! I have never seen it in a natural deodorant recipe before and I just think that’s so interesting.
I love that it says Truly’s won’t sting after shaving! That would be a nice switch! =)
I just entered…and I’m sharing on FB 🙂 thanks, Sarah Elizabeth!
Wow! This is the first cream deodorant I have heard of. I am impressed with the simple ingredients and the money back guarantee. Thanks for the chance!
i learned that it has coconut oil in it
I really like Truly’s site and the cute cartoons. I think it is neat that it is a small family operation and the business is named after their youngest daughter. I had tried a creamed deodorant that didn’t work and so I found it interesting to read over their ingredient list and think it must be worth trying with all the testimonies and the money back guarantee. Glad they sent it for you to review so we could find out about them.

Well, the most impressive thing I learned is that Truly’s contains only natural ingredients. It is effective, long lasting, and needs no drying time. I also learned they package their deodorant in BPA-free & PVC-free food safe containers. I REALLY want to try it out! Hope I WIN! =) Thank you! Kathleen on the RC
I would love to try this! I found the info on sugar/honey as an odor causing bacterial prevention very interesting!
I learned that it will not stain clothing
i learned the purpose of using sugar in it…i thought that was very interesting!
I’m trying to find a natural deodorant that works for my husband. He keeps going back to his aluminum laden store bought one because the one I made gave him a rash! Would so love for him to try this one…
I learned that honey/sugar is a great antibacterial. WOW. Never knew that, how cool!!!
Thanks for sharing this giveaway, Sara Elizabeth! I first learned of Truly’s Deodorant from your blog, and tried the samples first. We have really enjoyed them so far, and are really going to put them to the test during this hot, humid TN weather! Here goes….
I am dying to try this! I hope it works!
would love to try this! thx, Sharon b
It looks awesome for those of us with sensitive skin!
I also worry about using deodorant and would love to try this! Hoping I win 🙂 Kay
I learned that triclosan can react with chlorine in tap water to form chloroform?!? I am so going to buy more natural hygiene products after reading that!
Count me in! I’m obsessed with finding an affordable, natural deodorant. 🙂
Impressed that their site says it works all day and is safe for children.
I found out they use sugar and how the sugar reacts with your body.
This is something I have been considering for awhile. Using more natural products!
I love the ingredients and am impressed that it is supposed to work all day. Most natural deodorants need to be reapplied.
