Green Tidings - A Natural Brand Beyond Aluminum Free Non-Toxic Deodorants

I am a big fan of Green Tidings, so I was so excited when I received these products from them. Green Tidings is verified cruelty-free Leaping Bunny Program certified. Their natural gluten- free products are also vegan.

In my package, I received the Green Tidings

• Unscented Natural Deodorant
• Calendula Face Lotion
• Green Tidings Velvet Oil Blend
  

First, Let's talk about the Green Tidings Unscented Natural Deodorant!

 Green Tidings baking soda deodorants have been one me of favorite deodorants for years. It is so effective especially during the hot summer months. I have always purchased the lavender scented deodorants, but the one I received was the unscented one. And, I love it as well; the formula feels the same and it is as effective.

They use organic coconut oil & organic shea butter (Unrefined, Fair Trade) in their formula, so the deodorant applies very nicely; oh, it glides on my skin. I still avoid applying right after shaving because of the baking soda. I might like the unscented version even better.

Ingredients Highlights:
Manihot Esculenta (Tapioca) Starch: From the cassava plant. Gluten-free, high in Omega 3 and 6 fatty acids. Soothes, softens, and moisturizes the skin, while absorbing moisture. Deodorizing, healing, helps clear acne.
