Detox Mode’s Natural Deodorant
The Detox Market has two natural deodorants under its in-house brand, Detox Mode. I tried “Feeling Free,” a gentle formula made without baking soda for those of us with sensitive skin. The stick formula boasts a grey colour, thanks to activated charcoal, and has a flowery smell, thanks to lavender and eucalyptus. I love the faint floral scentit doesn’t smell artificial like many deodorants from drugstore brands.
The Workout: I tested Feeling Free with a one-hour at-home barre class I streamed with Toronto’s Extension Method. The class doesn’t involve cardio, but I’ve taken it enough times to know it’s a high-intensity workout that certainly makes me sweat.The Sniff Test: I always work out in the morning and never apply deodorant before doing soI figure it’s still on there from the previous day’s post-shower application. So, I did the barre class 24-hours after applying the deodorantthe result? Still fresh! So, I put Feeling Free to another test: I’ve been wearing it every day for two weeks with cotton tees and dresses in 30-degree weather. It smells fresh all day and doesn’t stain my clothes, like other natural deodorants that I’ve tried.Not a fan of floral-scented deodorants?
