i cannot tell you how many dollars i have spent trying to find a natural deodorant that works.  partly because i literally cannot remember and partly because i'm trying to make a point that i have tried many, many natural deodorants with quite disappointing results.  the deodorants from Soapwalla and Osmia Organics are pretty good, but i'm not a huge fan of the rub-your-deodorant-in-with-your-fingers method - call me crazy.  thank goodness then, that i read an interview with makeup guru Kirsten Kjaer Weis wherein she raves about Real Purity deodorant.  i immediately placed my order, because what's one more when you've already tried 8 others?  well, this one put those 8 others to shame.  TO SHAME.  those 8 others should not even be allowed to exist in the same world as Real Purity.  i have no idea what makes this one different from all the rest, but it is.  not only does it, er, deordorize, but it somehow works as an antiperspirant as well - something that no other deodorant has ever done, at least for me.  as an added bonus: it smells amazing.  clean, fresh, not cloying or overpowered with lavender.  and just a word to the wise: buy a second one for your significant other.  they will steal yours.
