Does Wild natural deodorant work (& are they sustainable?) / HONEST REVIEW

[@SickOfIt19]

I’ve been using Wild for over a year and I have no complaints. I am a sweaty person and I hate summer heat. Where I live it gets to 30-35 degrees Celsius and Wild works well for me (not great,but well). My clothes don’t smell funny and I don’t stink after coming home from work and thats all I need. I tried the original version with baking soda but it gave me a huge rash so I opted for the sensitive version and it’s been great😊 Too bad it doesn’t work for everyone..I really like the scents they come up with.

[@LifeBeforePlastic]

So glad to hear it works for you! Also that you found the sensitive one works because they can always be touch and go.

[@lilyrose7624]

But it doesn't dry under my arms even when I leave them up for a while!

[@unuag.e]

It's funny because I've always had a lot of trouble with deodorants, I've always used deodorant sprays for men even though I knew they weren't good for my skin, I'd tried "natural" deodorants from the supermarkets from time to time but the smell.... and when I discovered Wild, it was incredible! I can say that I've reduced my odour by 90%, even I didn't believe it. In terms of sweating, I haven't seen any difference. Once again, every body is different, but I'm really delighted with Wild

[@LifeBeforePlastic]

I'm so glad that you've had such a positive experience!!!

[@MarieAkaMarizZ]

I'm sorry to hear that it apparently does not work for everyone! I am super satisfied though^^ Started using the Wild deo at the end of last year because I suddenly started having big problems with sweating and smelling and my prior deo did not work anymore for me. Since I started usind Wild I am sweating less (though I definitely did not stop sweating completely). The best part though that when I do sweat I simply does not stink at all! I just smell like the product (tried the vanilla coconut and cherry blossom scent). Especially cherry blossom seems to work really well for me.

[@anoushka5531]

I have used natural deodorants for years. They either work or not meaning I will smell my sweat or not. But Wild deodorant does something strange, It changes it's own smell after few hour to very unpleasant one, and it's not the sweat smell, it's the deodorant itself that starts smelling off. I can still smell that strange odour on my t-shirts even after washing them. I wonder if anyone got similar experience with it.

[@lillywho]

You mean like cheap perfume? Because that's what I noticed on my coconut & vanilla.

[@phoenixtooth]

what is your go to natural deodorant. I have tried three and only one of them works and unfortunately I haven't been able to find that one in store. The one that worked is called Raw Sugar.

[@lillywho]

I tried Native deodorant before they stopped shipping to the EU and I'd go back to that if I could. The smell was nice and subtle and it didn't start smelling weird after a couple of hours.@@phoenixtooth

[@adamhiggins2160]

I just started using wild and I personally haven't noticed this, compared to the other deodarants I've tried before like dove etc, wild actually seems to still smell nice after a while (smell at all after a while)

[@romanr9977]

I've been using Wild for nearly two years now and I've never noticed any strange smell. It's worked extremely well for me, I'm happy to say. The two fragrances I chose weren't strong in the container and didn't change when applied or either when worn all day. I chose Mulled Wine (very subtle) and the second was Frankincense and Myrrh. I wonder if it's the type of fragrance, like florals for example.

[@ExploreAlot.Paranormal]

Juat found your channel and iv been finding your videos are great! Im starting to make the change to a few natural products and youve been super helpful 🙏🏻💓

[@LifeBeforePlastic]

So glad I can help!

[@GreenStarMidoriBoshi]

I have the same impresions. I only used this brand in the last year. My only problem, that I have with all coconut deodorants, if that it "stains" with product, very visible, dark tops/blouses. If you touch your armpits while dressing, you need to change the blouse. They smell very good, but I like the case, that it doesn't look cheap/doesn't have a lot of text on it

[@has2be1]

I really wanted this to work to justify the price per oz. I have used natural deodorant for a year without having to detox. I use baking soda free due to sensitivity.The scents are great. It's not super strong as to not over power my fragrance. I almost got a full day of coverage. Which is surprising, given the number of ingredients. I have used homemade Etsy deo's with 5 ingredients that last 2 days. Maybe if they used probiotics? Very bummed it didn't work well.

[@romanr9977]

Can you clarify what exactly you mean when you say "it's not the sweating, it just didn't work for me" ? I'm extremely happy with Wild. I've used it for nearly two years now and not everyone will sweat more as you say. I think that only applies to people who've used sprays/antiperspirants in the past and are about to try natural deodorants for the first time. I've tried many natural deodorants over a decade and didn't sweat any more with Wild. I also didn't smell at all with Wild yet with other brands I did. I live in Australia where it gets anything from 30-42 degrees celsius and I sweat a lot. I believe each person's skin composition and constitution plays a part in how they find it works (or not). Wild didn't make my clothes smell funny either. I'm really happy I finally found a deodorant that works.

[@LifeBeforePlastic]

@@romanr9977 I’m super happy it works for you! What I mean is that while I sweat (totally agree it’s very normal and I still sweat with my current deo) but I’d stink - ie get bad BO. Not every time but too much to rely on. I think it’s just my type of skin - really glad to hear it works for you!

[@ItsJustAPlug]

I was really looking forward to using wild after purchasing from tesco. The scent was nice to start but application was messy, it seems to go over the edges even with careful application...and something that can only be described as mould appeared on the deodrant after frequent use, and I am no means a dirty person, always smooth underarms and shower every day, anyway, I binned it as the growth on the product didn't look healthy to me.

[@amyhogg9226]

I used wild on and off for a year like you and found it didnt work for me either, i did go back to wild this year and still found it didnt work and that i was even more smelly than normal. Id been using salt of the earth deodorant before i went back to wild, but now use fussy and always will do

[@LifeBeforePlastic]

yesss I'm a fussy convert too. I have got a Salt of the Earth deo too though which I haven't tried yet. I'll be interested to see what it's like

[@amyhogg9226]

​@@LifeBeforePlastic I had the unscented liquid spray and found it hard to get on with

[@jannatararahman5141]

I totally agree with you on bringing the new limited edition cases!

[@bobbielee4855]

I am hoping that I am not going to have an allergic reaction to this one. I had to start making my own a few years ago because everything I tried I would break out on. But thank you for this great review. It basically lets me know not to get my hopes up and to make sure I have the shea butter, and other items I need to make my own again.

[@anne-lisemackenzie1001]

This is such a helpful review! I'd used kutis natural deodorant for years but found the cardboard casing would deteriorate after a while making it difficult to use so I switched to Wild after seeing lot's of hype! I was disappointed by the amount of plastic inside the casing and also found replacing the deodorant really tricky (so glad you highlighted this as i thought it was just me 😂). I kind of feel a bit stuck with it now I've got the case as it seems wasteful to stop using it. What is the fussy deodorant casing made from? Thanks 😊

[@LifeBeforePlastic]

I would defo keep using it if it works for you! That’s the most susty option. The fussy case is made 100% from recycled plastic - not ideal but it’s all one material so would be easier to recycle at end of life.

[@WordShaker95]

I found it really made my clothes smell wierd after a while too, like it wasnt quite washing out properly and then getting a musty smell 🙃

[@anoushka5531]

same here

[@sebastianmosqueda5959]

Have you tried washing you clothes with vinegar?

[@wanda7554]

I read that the new refills also work with the old case which is always a good thing! :)

[@LifeBeforePlastic]

Yes this is true! They couldn’t have done it any other way without replacing everyone’s case

[@helenwright3201]

I had to give up Wild because I just smelt so bad 😞 Im going to be trying Fussy soon so fingers crossed 🤞

[@leahdrummond6773]

Random, but did Fussy end up working out for you? I'm on a hunt trying to replace my preferred Hey Humans deoderant lol

[@helenwright3201]

@leahdrummond6773 no unfortunately not. It seemed promising to start with, but I was a couple of months in and still sweating so much and smelling. I was washing before bed and in the morning. I did as a teenager suffer from hyperhidrosis. Even though I don't suffer like I did, I probably am still sweatier than the average female lol

[@ericarem121]

NEVER get aluminum free deodorant. it doesn't help to prevent smell, it only helps with sweat

[@rosalynstewart2397]

Great review! I've been using Wild for a few months now and am at the point of giving up as it just doesn't work for me. I've made my own deodorant so I'm going to give it a go :)

[@LifeBeforePlastic]

So sorry to hear this. Let me know how your homemade one goes but also definitely try an armpit detox too to see if it helps. If you don’t want to make your own/it doesn’t work, I really recommend Fussy or AKT!

[@SnowshoeAviator]

I have tried a few different types of natural deodorants and they all work well for me, but I don't tend to sweat much at all. The majority of the time I don't wear deodorant, but if I am going to be doing a lot of physical activity I do go for it. Then on the other end of the spectrum my wife sweats a ton and natural deodorants just do not work for her. Just goes to show how varied human bodies can be!

[@LifeBeforePlastic]

This sounds like my partner and me! He barely sweats and only wears deo on special occasions 😅 Wild works for him so I’m lucky it won’t go to waste. If your wife anything like me a really recommend trying Fussy. I was getting frustrated but this one works wonders. You just have to accept that human bodies sweat but I don’t want to be stinky 🥹

[@ShesThe1yup]

maybe with the sweating it's not so bad in the Winter months? would you think that the case?

[@LifeBeforePlastic]

@@ShesThe1yup yes definitely but I also don’t want a deodorant I can only use half of the year! Good idea though to use it this winter!

[@claire2651]

Armpits don’t detox therefore there is no transition period that people claim. So don’t worry about switching to a natural deodorant

[@Marie...C24]

Thanks for the video! Same here, I REALLY want to like it, love the smells, but feel it doesn't do a great job on me once it gets warmer 😮 Ordered *Fussy, excited to compare! Thanks also for the recommendation 🌸

[@LifeBeforePlastic]

let me know how you get on with Fussy!

[@g1zm0godzilla]

I was so excited to try Wild and so disappointed when it didn't work for me. I really like the design and the smells and usually I have no issues with natural deodorant so I'm not sure if that is the issue but the constant stains were so offputting for me. I also assumed based on the website that its a gender neutral product but its definitely designed for feminine women/female-bodied people exclusively 🙃🙃 I'm glad it doesn't seem to cause issues for everyone but like you mentioned in the video it leaves very visible white streaks on clothes that have any contact with your armpit. Every time I see a review that brings this up or mentions it the comments are so dismissive which puts me off even more. So many people are like "well you must be using sooooo much" like ..... I'm using the same amount as always and its staining absolutely every thing and it does not come out in the wash. I have to use extra detergent and once even a bleach mix to get it off ☠☠I'm hoping they will revise but it seems like an issue the company does not want to address since their default answer is "rub it in with your fingers" as tho deodorant sticks aren't designed with a clear purpose. If I wanted to rub deodorant in my skin I would just do that and not buy a product in a stick 🙄🙄Guess I'll try Fussy next and hope for the best!

[@LifeBeforePlastic]

@@g1zm0godzilla thank you for your review too! I’d love to know how you find Fussy! My partner and I both use it so I find their scents more gender neutral, especially cloud nine

[@bumblebeez1995]

I really wanted to try it but it’s so expensive, I’m not a crazy sweaty person, but idk if I want to waste the money if it’s not going to work, that being said I find a lot of non natural deodorants work for me either

[@LifeBeforePlastic]

I do think it’s good for non-sweaty people, the scents are nice too but I would also do an armpit detox from time to time

[@jibicusmaximus4827]

you don't like plastic but have a you tube channel? oh... makes about as much sense as anything these days, you know it's all a scam right? also please don't take this as a personal attack against you, it isn't, it's called someone having a different opinion.

[@LifeBeforePlastic]

@@jibicusmaximus4827 did you watch the video because it’s predominantly about a brands sustainability not about my hate of plastic. I don’t mind plastic that is necessary and not single use. KZbin isn’t plastic, it’s in the cloud? Nothing is perfect sustainability wise but I live in the modern world and asking people to be perfect is unrealistic. We can all just do our best

[@lilyrose7624]

Deodorant is awful. Doesn't dry. Just sticky cream under my arms even after walking around the house with my arms up for 10 minutes!

[@romanr9977]

Did you try applying less? Maybe that will help.

[@LifeBeforePlastic]

@@lilyrose7624 I normally rub it in under my arms after applying the stick. It’s not a spray so it won’t dry in the same way

[@okoiful]

you crazy fam, the thing works wonders...
