It’s no secret that most conventional deodorants contain a list of toxic ingredients, such as aluminum chlorohydrate, parabens, propylene glycol and triclosan, among other questionable ones like talc and silica.  Gross, right?  As my oldest daughter continues to age against my wishes (HA!), I notice her shoes get stinkier, her legs gets hairier and soon I know it will be time to have the dreaded deodorant talk.  You don’t want to be the STINKY kid in school, but I’m also not keen at getting her deodorant that contains harmful ingredients.  Heck, I don’t want to wear deodorant with toxic ingredients and I’ve set out to find a natural deodorant that works.  It was NOT an easy task.  I found one a few years ago, but it’s not in a stick-form application, so it’s actually quite annoying to apply.  “Come on!”, I thought, “There has to be a better option out there!”  I was happily right with Smiley Pit Kids.

• No Aluminum
• No Parabens
• No GMOs
• No Gluten

Smiley Pit Kids deodorant is designed by two (self-proclaimed) neurotic moms looking for safe and effective deodorant specifically for their kids. They want to make the world a less stinky – and less toxic- place, one kid at a time.  To convince me, I decided to go for their most potent deodorant called ‘Sick Nasty Defense’, a name coined by the kids!  HA.  This stick deodorant is lightly scented essential oils to give Sick Nasty Defense a fresh scent.  Don’t get me wrong, this is an all natural deodorant, but a little Sick Nasty Defense goes a long way and you only need one to two swipes to apply.  Your body heat works its magic and this natural product really works.  The only downside in my view is that it may melt under extreme temperatures, so remember to keep in a safe and cool location.

I love, love, LOVE this deodorant and it’s safe to use for kids as young as 4 until age….well 104!  It’s made in the USA and if you buy three or more sticks, the shipping is free to those in the continental US.  Make the switch to all natural deodorant in your whole family.  It’s safe, it’s effective, and it is available in a stick form.  Yes, AWESOME.
