I use Crystal
You sweat, but on me I dont stink. Check your diet also, when I eat more onions, garlic, spicy food my body smell changes.
Ugh it always sucks when a great brand gets sucked up by a greedy corporation. One of the accounts I follow on Instagram swears by this deodorant. I know sometimes influencers can be questionable but I think the reviews speak for themselves. I wanted to try Native first and then I might try this one
i don’t have this problem but going out on a limb to take a look at true blue spirulina shampoo and conditioner by living libations as well as their other products for hair. the reviews will good indication too.
also do you sleep on a silk pillowcase?
lastly have you tried installing a [shower](www.amazon.com/dp/B07Q4MYZNC/ref=cm_sw_r_sms_apip_DbDTn148QvNXU) filter?
just some ideas
also no guilt if you try the olaplex. the effects you mention should be non existent for how little you use and considering you live a natural lifestyle otherwise. good luck!
I make my own for myself and my wife using this recipe. you can get roll on bottles from Amazon ain’t with the other ingredients. You can Add a couple drops of tea tree oil and any essential oils you like if you want, but I typically don’t add any essential oils so that I avoid any burning sensation.

My eyes are very sensitive too, but with the applicator i think it would make it easier to apply to my brows and lashes. I am going to be using this one I just got off Amazon

I lovelovelove FIG+YARROW Rose+Vanilla tinted lip balm!!! It doesn't have SPF but it's really nice. :)
i LOVE Griffin Remedy. It took me years to find it. It doesn't have ANY garbage and is at a decent price point.
I use a shower filter! You can get one on Amazon for like $30 so it's not too bad and tbh it has made a big difference in my skin so I find it to def. be worth it! https://www.amazon.com/AquaBliss-Universal-Replaceable-3-Stage-Cartridge/dp/B01G7AZB96/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1472572964&sr=8-4&keywords=shower+filter
The thing about Lush is they have sulfates in most of their shampoos. (even the bars) That stuff will dry your scalp. If you like bars, check out this one that I get on Amazon. Lush used to be much more natural than they are now. They're still better than some but I think the product isnt worth the price. The oils in the ACV bar will leave your scalp nice and healthy. The rest rinses off. Best shampoo I've used.
I that the ACV Bar from Amazon? I use that too. Totally took care of my scalp. I think my hairs getting thicker.
I have used these in my lotions and lip balms - https://www.amazon.com/Sky-Organics-Organic-Pesticides-Chemicals/dp/B01LYMZK4V/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?dchild=1&keywords=organic+white+beeswax+pellets&qid=1598670712&sprefix=organic+white+bees&sr=8-3
I have found that the pellets melt quickly and blend easier. I believe anything 100% pure should work great for your needs. I love homemade lip balm more than anything store bought. You’ll love it!!
native deodorant with coconut and vanilla is my all-time favorite!
I just started using the crystal deoderant and i have been very very pleasently surprised by it. I really didnt expect it to work at all but it does ! This is the one i use CRYSTAL Deodorant Stick (30003), Unscented, 4.25 Ounce https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000L978FU/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_i_SZ67VDFBG5G4026B2SBW
Here's what you need to do. Find yourself a "facial toner" with salicylic acid in it. They're easy to find, mine says "acne treatment" on the bottle but it's basically just water with salicylic acid added. You can find it at any drug store with the facial cleansers and Neutrogena bars and shit.
Every time you shower, once your pits are dry, splash some of the toner on your pits.
I've tried every deodorant under the sun. Salt crystals, Tom's, Nature's Gate, Schmidt's, Green Tidings, dirt water.... The only one I haven't tried is Native because they don't ship to my country. But they all suck and I'm sure Native sucks too. I'm sick of seeing people say "no really guys, this one actually works!!" Because they never fucking work. The worst ones give you a rash from the baking soda, too. And most of them feel sticky and filthy and disgusting.
Salicylic acid is the only thing that works because your armpits start to stink when they become alkaline. So if you raise the acidity, the chemical stink process can't happen.
If been using salicylic acid for literally a year now. I use it after every shower. If you skip showering for one day you can just reapply the salicylic acid and it will work just as well. You also won't have any disgusting buildup like if you reapply a natural deodorant without showering.
If I skip the acid for a few days I do start to stink, but if I apply it every day I'm completely 100% free of stench. I can even go into a sauna without stinking. I thought I'd have to use aluminum deodorant for the rest of my life, so I am fucking thrilled to finally have a solution that actually works.
When I first read about salicylic acid, I thought it was some obscure beauty product you can only find at Sephora or some shit. But it's not, you can find it anywhere.
I have very sensitive skin and use a body cream from Cerave for very dry skin–it's really good I think, no weird reactions, really calm my skin and goes in fast. Hope that helps! Heres a link to it https://www.amazon.fr/Cerave-Moisturizing-Lotion-Very-236ml/dp/B07CG2TD9F
My teen kids use EO deo spray. It works for them and if it works for smelly teens, it works for me (I use it too and it's held up during a hard 1.5hr martial arts class). This scent is/works the best
My teens use EO spray. The Vetiver is the best scent. My friend told me about this; said that it held up during her bootcamp (she did tests with several of the scents and this one held up best).
I'm not familiar with this Dove option, but my fiance and I each use the Arm and Hammer Essentials line; I like the citrus scent and he usually goes for the juniper berry one. It lasts pretty well and the scent sticks around, but, to your interest, it's clear, so it wouldn't leave white residue.
I use this aluminum free antiperspirant every night and it works great! I use natural deodorant during the day still but the antiperspirant makes a big difference for me.
That is the brand! It's this kind: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00Y31W2KI/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_8BM-FbHBF3SZH
One possible downside is that it isn't an antiperspirant, but honestly I don't feel like antiperspirants have ever worked very well for me anyway. I feel like I sweat a little if it's hot out, but the same amount that I always have.
We may not be referring to the same kind of deodorant but here’s the one I was referring to just in case Crystal Deodorant

Giovanni 2chic collection works wonders on curly hair giovanni
Oh, well. I was hoping you had come up with the perfect formula so I could make a travel spray with the block I already have!
The Thai spray only has water and mineral salt, so I thought it'd be easy, too. The reviews aren't as good as the block, though. I'm guessing it's harder to get the same amount of alum in an application of spray compared to the block and so it's less effective.
I have posted this a few times, but below is what I use. I heat up very easily, workout 4-5 times a week and live in a hot humid climate. This works better for me than anything I've bought.

I can reccommend nakd. Thai Crystal Deodorant. I’m the founder of the company and my customers love it as it is very soft when applied to their skin and since it doesn't have any chemicals it doesn't leave your skin irritated. We use higher quality ingredients than Crystal Deodorant & Thai Crystal Deodorant.
You can check out our amazon listing here:
If you or anyone has any questions on how to use it and why you should make the switch feel free to ask me personally. I am happy to answer any questions you have as my goal is to help as many people as I can.
I can recommend my nakd. Thai Crystal Deodorant. It won't stop you from sweating but it will prevent BO. When applied it works by applying a layer of mineral salts under your arms which prevents the growth of bacteria. This is what causes the BO in the first place. Women with sensitive skin love it as it is very soft when applied to their skin and since it doesn't have any chemicals it doesn't leave your skin irritated.

$2 off right now on amazon. I’m liking it.
I'm going to have to back you on this u/sunshinedaydream1990I HATED using normal, or commercial, deodorants because of the staining of clothes, etc.
Came across this Thai Crystal Deodorant Mist (read A LOT of the reviews on Amazon & iHerb) and decided to give it a shot - and it's AH-MAZING.
It looks like water and smells like water - aka nothing.No aluminum. No fragrance.At first I thought I got scammed.But after using it, I'm sold.
You'll perspire normally and there is a good chance that you'll need to reapply it throughout the day if you're doing a lot of physical activity.
If you're not doing a lot of physical activity - applying it once before you leave your house should be fine.
The main reason that I'm sold on the product is that there used to be a pungent smell that would come from my right armpit.I tried all different kinds of deodorants, soaps, everything to get rid of the smell - nothing worked for YEARS.
I gave this a shot, and within 3 days the smell was gone and it hasn't returned.
After struggling with this problem for years - this odorless, crystal spray (which I thought was a little hippie-ish) fixed the problem in days.
And on top of that, it doesn't leave a stain in the armpits of my shirts. Woo!
Hope this helps.
Recently discovered the same thing; poked around on amazon and google to try to figure out the best kind of vanilla for my (topicals, bath bombs, etc) products. bought this: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B079J8953S/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o07_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 have used it in a few topical recipes, and it's very nice, and doesn't have the 'extract' alcohol smell. as an EO fiend, I was suprised to find out that vanilla doesn't come in true EO processes. vanilla absolute is very dear, so this seemed like a happy medium.
I've been using (and making my own) natural and organic deodorants for about a decade. I've pretty much tried them all (or close to it). Hands down the best natural deodorant I have ever used (and still use every day) is by ORGANIC 101. They are USDA certified Organic (so you can actually trust the ingredients), they use zero baking soda (so no rashes), no aluminum (or "alum" which is used to to fool customers), it wont stain clothing (zero fabric "yellowing"), and works all day for me even, at the gym or in the southern summer heat. I cannot recommend it enough. All their scents are legit but lately Ive been using the Tangerine Dream and I love it.
.
If interested maybe check it out. They also offer a 30 day money back guarantee: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B077YWTT4F/ref=sr_1_52_s_it?s=beauty&ie=UTF8&qid=1513354640&sr=1-52&keywords=natural%2Bdeodorant&th=1

Blue Lizard - it's not necessarily cheap, but it's reasonable and I've never found another sunscreen that stays good for a few years.
It doesn't claim to be waterproof, but it's pretty close. It's thick and white, but if you rub it in it is clear and stays on really well, like all day. I'm super fair and prone to burning but I've never had to reapply in one day and I've never been burnt with it. I also use it on my face with no issues.
It might seem a little greasy but it's still better than anything else I've used and it doesn't smell like chemicals.
Strongly recommend!
Unrefined Shea Butters and then some! I'd like to recommend the unscented one from their Everyday Shea line: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00HUB2Y8S/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_7sm9ybSAK58AY
Not the biggest fan of the smell but it seriously gets the job done. Regarding your update, I can't speak on seborrheic dermatitis but Alaffia's shea does come from co-op trades in West Africa, Togo in particular.
Edit: This was supposed to be attached to my previous comment's thread, sorry about that!
oh thanx for that info, as for the cleanser there is alot options on amazon, can you recommend a certain cleanser? also for sunscreen i have been adviced to look for 50 spf zinc one still looking tho. as for mositurizer since i'm planning to remove "Permatan" people and from doing alot research people suggested i look for one with " Vitamin E oil, Jojoba oil, Coconut oil, Eucerin lotion, Cocoa Butter, and Shea Butter."
as for exfoliating should i make it like 1 day ex and 1 day not, ?
i found these as moisturizer , what do you think?

To answer your question about tea tree/lemon/lavender they are those oils like peppermint that should be diluted if skin is sensitive. The others should be fine, of course, but if you are sensitive to them, dilute. As for ratios, I highly suggest the following book: http://www.amazon.com/Complete-Book-Essential-Oils-Aromatherapy/dp/0931432820 . Valerie Ann Worwood is a heck of an expert. Additionally it's a great reference book in general.
It does for me. Sometimes if it's on thick I'll use some oil on a corner of it or toilet paper to get my eye makeup off. Im super gentle scrubbing and always see a ton of dirt and makeup on it.
I've never used these but something like this is what I'm talking about:
http://www.amazon.com/Plush-MojaFiber-Microfiber-Face-Cloth/dp/B00L1FUEHM
It is called Waterwise and here is a link to it on amazon! We love ours and haven't had any problems with it. It does make a bit of noise. It makes a gallon at a time and we usually start it in the morning or before we go to bed. It takes a couple hours to make 1 gallon but we haven't had any issue with that. Good luck and let me know if you have any questions! http://www.amazon.com/Waterwise-4000-Water-Steam-Distiller/dp/B002DQCMY6/ref=sr_1_5?s=office-products&ie=UTF8&qid=1446486040&sr=8-5&keywords=waterwise
I think the jojoba oil isn't removing all your makeup and that may be why you're breaking out. Commercial cleansing oils have ingredients in them that make them water soluble which makes it possible for all the dirt and gunk to be rinsed away. When I first started using cleansing oil I got a couple of painful pimples as well. Apparently it's not uncommon for people switching to OCM to go through a "purge" phase. Stuff that's been clogged deep in your pores starts to get loosened up by the oil and can actually make you break out more because it's all coming to the surface at once. It can last for a couple of weeks but should all clear up eventually. I have dehydrated skin that's also prone to breakouts and I wash with cleansing oil, moisturize with jojoba or argan oil, and my skin has never felt better. I definitely say spend a few extra dollars and get a nice cleansing oil and stick with it for a few weeks to really give it a chance to work. This is my favorite.. Adding a drop or two of Tea Tree oil to your moisturizing oil is also not a bad idea. I would stay away from all the cleansers at the drugstore, especially anything with the word "foam" on it. You want to retain as much of your skin's natural moisture barrier as possible. Hope this helps!
I tried Original Sprout recently and I'm now a forever convert. Super wonderfully safe ingredients and the most lovely, gentle fragrance to it; not artificial either, I suspect the smell is the natural oils in it.
I'm like seriously in love with it. Also, can be worn as an everyday face sunscreen; breaks me out a little (but literally everything does), but it isn't shiny. Can't speak for whitecast, I haven't noticed any but I am pretty white to begin with.
I use Ocean Potion and think it works great. I use it as a daily moisturizer under my make up. It's not too greasy or heavy, sinks in well and moisturizers. Lasts a long time too, I wear it every day and the bottle has lasted me about 3 months.
Edit: also on the side bar under "guide to low-toxicity sunscreens" that website has tons of options, and I looked it up and the ocean potion I use, not necessarily some of their other stuff, got a really good rating!
This activated charcoal tooth and gum powder is AMAZING and super affordable - I've had my jar for 9 months now and still have 1/3 left.
TlDr; Wash with only conditioner most days. Take collagen powder (not pills). Worked wonders for me.
Have you looked into conditioner-washing? It's what it sounds like, you wash your hair with conditioner instead of shampoo.
What I do is condition most of the time, and use shampoo once a week (unless I've been working outside/sweating/have lots of product in my hair).
I use jason-brand fragrance free shampoo and conditioner. I tried with another brand, and it didn't clean my hair well. So some brands may work better for you than others, but I'd definitely suggest giving this a go.
Also, not product, but a couple months before I started washing with just conditioner I started taking collagen powder daily. I got a container for free & figured I'd use it for the protein content.
But lemme tell you the change that unexpectedly made in my hair (and nails) after a week or three. It is stronger, thicker, and grows damn near twice as fast.
This is the one I started ordering once my freebie ran out. I mix it with a cup of water and some lemon juice (for vitamin c to help with collagen absorbtion, and to mask the kindof gummy-flavor I notice). It works out to less than a dollar a day, and the refills are even cheaper.
Mine hair's not thin like you're describing, but it was always fine. And I had a super-short pixie going on for a while. These two things have definitely helped loads by reducing hair loss/breakage, and my hair just seems hella healthier, thicker/stronger, and has been growing like a weed.
I have had a lot of luck with this product: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00RKQF0F2
Its shea based, with other butters and oils added. Goes on thick, and a little goes a long way, but feels amazing!
