Product Review: Salt of the Earth

This product intrigued me – not only is it plastic free, but it also consists of the subject of my PhD: Salt!

Salt of the Earth crystal deodorants work by leaving an invisible layer of mineral salt on the skin which work to inhibit the growth of odour causing bacteria. This is a good product if you wish to avoid plastic packaging!

Salt of the Earth

I liked this product – especially the lack of any fragrance – but do take note that it needs to be applied to DAMP skin after washing – this is the ONLY reason It has a score of 8/10 (I forget and dry myself thoroughly…). To use on dry skin, wet first then apply. No twisting or pushing needed though, and the product can be bought with or without the plastic casing. A variety of (refillable) spray alternatives are also in the range, which are worth exploring if you do not like the crystal version.

The natural crystal comes in an easy to handle shape, just take it out of its box to use. Just remember to dry the crystal thoroughly, before you put it back in the box (something I wondered about when I first procured this!).

However, this product is produced in China, and therefore has a higher carbon footprint (if you live elsewhere). Although it is a good product, I will not be buying it again for this reason.
