Adama Minerals ClayDry Bold Sweet Amber Deodorant Zion Health 2.8 oz Stick

Im in my mid 40s and for my entire life I have been using regular antiperspirant. Ive tried all different kinds like Gillette, Degree and most recently for about 5 years, Dove. I have really liked how dove worked and smelled on me. However, after a lot of research I found that the ingredients in antiperspirant were dangerous. I decided to just go with a deodorant. I found a few deodorants in my bathroom I had collected or been given but never used. The majority of them actually made me break out in terrible rashes. I discovered I was sensitive to certain ingredients. I then got a stick of Dove deodorant and it didnt affect me. However, it also didnt stop me from sweating. It was at this point where I did more research on natural deodorants. This was around February, the beginning of Covid19 quarantine. A lot of the information suggested that I needed a "detox" from the years of collected aluminum in my armpits and system. Since I was relegated to staying home at this point, I stopped using any antiperspirant or deodorant for a month. It was just me in my house so I wouldnt affect anyone if I stunk. On that, the first week of not using anything, I really stunk. However, after that week, I could tell my body chemistry was changing. I hardly smell at all and actually wasnt even sweating that much. I then began my hours of hours of watching YouTube reviews of people trying natural deodorant. I would say about 80% of the reviews ended on this brand. It wasnt excessively priced and I liked the qualities of the unique ingredients. I have been using my stick for about 4 weeks now, enough time to give it a serious review. I have never used anything in my life that works as well as this. It wasnt difficult getting used to the application of this stuff. Youre supposed to keep it under your armpit for a bit to warm it up and soften it to apply. I got tired of doing that an just do 3-4 downward wipes under my armpit. Yes, it will tear out hair doing it this way, but I hardly feel it and it saves time. At first I thought the smell of the sweet amber was going to be too feminine, but Ive had women tell me it just smells fresh, neither male or female oriented. I stay dry all day, I never have to reapply. Even when I do sweat, I dont really sweat. And all I smell is the sweet amber, I never smell gross. The other nice thing is this does not leave any sweat marks or stains on my clothes. I am so happy to have discovered this brand and deodorant. They have a ton of other scents I am looking to try as well. I cannot recommend this high enough to anyone looking to switch to natural deodorant.

Amazing product. I’ve tried everything and this deodorant works!!!! The smell is amazing but not overpowering and it does not break out my sensitive skin.

I used Secret deodorant from the time I was a preteen, but about five years ago, I discovered this deodorant—and I haven’t looked back since. The Amber scent is my absolute favorite: warm, subtle, and not overpowering. When I first switched from aluminum-based deodorants, I did an armpit detox using bentonite clay and apple cider vinegar for about a week. That helped a lot with the transition, and after that, it’s been smooth sailing. This formula isn’t just a deodorant—it’s an antiperspirant too, and it uses way better natural ingredients than anything I’ve seen in stores. I have a skin condition called hidradenitis suppurativa (HS), and it’s been hard to find a deodorant that doesn’t irritate my underarms. This is one of the only products that doesn’t cause a flare-up or discomfort—and trust me, I’ve tried a lot. It’s been such a relief to find something that actually works without harming my skin. One tip: since it’s a stronger formula, you really don’t need a lot. I use about four strokes max and that does the trick. It goes on a bit like a soft, slightly greasy clay, but once it absorbs, it helps control odor for hours—even through stressful days and warm weather. I’ve recommended this to so many friends. You don’t have to sacrifice your health or comfort just to stay fresh. This deodorant is now an everyday essential for me!

Love the smell of this deodorant. It works for me. If extra strong protection is what you need, may want to try something else. It just works for me when I layer it with a grapefruit, lavender, or geranium essential oil.

I’ve been slowly transitioning to cleaner personal care products and have been using the Yuka app to check for the best options. I came across the ClayDry Bold Sweet Amber Deodorant and was really excited to try it because of all the great reviews and its clean, aluminum-free formula. My Experience: The scent is absolutely beautiful, Sweet Amber smells warm, soft, and comforting, not overpowering at all. It applies smoothly and doesn’t feel sticky or heavy. I really appreciate the ingredients being natural and free from aluminum, parabens, and other harsh chemicals. I started using it during warmer days and found that, unfortunately, it doesn’t last as long as I hoped. I typically stay fresh with other aluminum-free deodorants, but with this one I noticed odor starting to break through halfway through the day, even without heavy sweating. I had to reapply at least once or twice, especially if I was out or active. Pros: Smells amazing Clean formula (Yuka-approved) Glides on easily No irritation on my sensitive skin Cons: Doesn’t provide long-lasting odor protection Requires reapplication during the day Might not be enough for hot or active days Final Thoughts: I love the idea behind this deodorant and the scent is one of the best I’ve tried in a clean formula. It may work better during cooler months or for low-activity days. I think it’s a great product for someone just starting their clean deodorant journey, but it might not be strong enough for everyone. I may still keep it for layering with another or for casual days at home.
