Anyone try this stuff? Or know what they hell it is? (Lume - deodorant)

[Maraya1969]

They did this video about how this new deodorant is supposed to stop the process of your body creating odor but they didn't go into details about it.

This is what she says Lume will do......."After 4 days your body will stop eating your sweat"

I looked up the first ingredient, Mandelic Acid and it is an exfoliant! So maybe the idea here is to get dead skin cells off and that will stop the stink? I have noticed that when I bathe with Epsom salts body odor stops almost completely for awhile even without deodorant. And that is important because I like to use natural deodorant; which doesn't work as good as regular but also doesn't have that toxic aluminum in it that is linked to breast cancer.

It also has Caprilic acid in it which is something I have taken internally to stop yeast growth from too many antibiotics and/prednisone. So it is an anti-fungal.

I have no vested interest here. It just showed up on my FB page and I am always interested in any new natural deodorants.

1. Nope...

...I don't need it.

Sorry, but I did not check-out my opinion with anyone else.

3. The product I use would meet your criteria.

I use Thai deodorant stone. I order it from Amazon. It's cheap, 100% natural, & lasts forever.

It's a deodorant, not an antiperspirant, and it really works.

5. Interesting. It doesn't say what minerals is in it but Epsom Salts has magnesium

magnesium and sulfate in it so maybe this crystal has something similar?

I said in the OP that Epsom salts work great for body odor after I take a bath. But I can't take that many baths!

8. I use the spray form of this product. Works for 12 or so hours. It's great!

9. I've never tried the spray. I use the solid form. Its effectiveness also lasts a long time.

7. Soap and water every day

Keeps the odor away, pretty much.
