Green Beaver Natural Antiperspirant
So this isnt actually a natural deodorant its the first-ever aluminum-free 100 percent natural antiperspirant! Deodorants work by absorbing the odour associated with sweat but they dont stop you from sweating. Antiperspirants, on the other hand, prevent you from sweating by blocking your sweat ducts. Instead of using aluminum (like traditional antiperspirants), Green Beavers antiperspirant uses a proprietary NaturaDri technology and a combination of carnauba, mimosa flower and sunflower seed waxes.The Workout: I wore this throughout the day while I was at work and reapplied just before a late afternoon personal training appointment at SWAT Health.Sniff Test: The antiperspirant didnt stop me from sweating during my workout at SWAT (Im pretty sure that would be impossible) but I did like how it worked during my workday. Once I did start to sweat at SWAT, the fragrance (Verve, a fresh and floral) was more noticeable and I didnt love it. Maybe it was how it mixed with my sweat? I ended up trying another fragrance, Escape, and I preferred its tropical scent.Full disclosure: I probably wouldnt wear this antiperspirant for a workout. Since Im guaranteed to sweat while working out, it defeats the purpose, in my opinion. I would use this for an average day though especially a hot summer day.
