Another natural deodorant cream has passed my stink test.
And what’s interesting about this particular deodorant cream from Honestly pHresh is that its (more convenient) stick alternative failed with flying colors.
Just goes to show that you’ve got to test, test, test before writing off an entire brand. Formulations are funny. And for me, baking soda is a must to ward off stink.

{Honestly Phresh sent me its Deodorant Cream to sample it review. It costs $12.99 for a 4-ounce jar.}
Available in five scents plus an unscented version, Honestly pHresh’s Deodorant Cream is made with moisturizing shea butter, coconut oil, cacao butter, rosehip seed oil and vitamin E to provide a soft, creamy paste that massages evenly into your underarms.
Because the base contains coconut oil, you can expect Honestly pHresh’s Deodorant Cream to harden up in cooler temperatures (think air conditioning or winter); you’re going to have to heat it with your hands to soften it back up, or even nuke it for 5 seconds to soften.
I tried Honestly pHresh’s Deodorant Cream in both Lavender & Ylang Ylang and Sage & Chamomile and loved the soft scents and creamy consistency.
The deodorant creams held up during a regular day at the office (you laugh, but you wouldn’t believe how many natural deodorants I’ve tested that leave me stinking by 5:00 after a long day of being inside an air-conditioned office…).
The true test, though, was the workout test. While I typically put my natural deodorants through the Birkam and/or Ashtanga yoga tests, Honestly pHresh’s Deodorant Cream also got to endure an outdoor cycling in humidity test.
When you can pass all three and the dreaded office test, you know you have a winner!
