If you've ever tried a natural deodorant, you know that your body goes through a natural detoxification process that basically sweats the chemicals from conventional antiperspirants out of your skin.
According to clean beauty industry expert and founder of Kaia Naturals Mary Further, the aluminum compounds in antiperspirant form a gel-like plug that constricts the pores in your underarms.
As a result, antiperspirant prevents you from getting wet, so the transition to using a natural deodorant can be unexpectedly sweaty for some.
I've tried tons of natural deodorants in the past and have settled on a few I like, but for my fiancé, finding "the one" has been more of a complicated process.
I've also never been a heavy sweater (even while working out), but since my partner runs at least 60 kilometres per week, he needs a deodorant with staying power for his supremely active body.
So far, few of my recommendations have worked as well as Boscia's new Prebiotic + Probiotic Freshening All-Over Body Deodorant — he couldn't be more impressed by it! Here's why.

The details
Though Boscia's offerings include something for all skin types, the brand pays close attention to the most sensitive complexions.

Their products soothe, balance, protect and calm without artificial fragrances or dyes, which is particularly important when it comes to deodorant.
The new Freshening All-Over Body Deodorant gently exfoliates the skin to tackle bad bacteria using a blend of pre and probiotics, purifying kaolin clay, and naturally astringent lemon oil (which also lends a clean, subtle scent to the product).
The best part? It can be used all-over to keep you feeling fresh all day, anywhere you need: from your pits to your toes.
Plus, the comfortable creamy texture provides a mattifying finish so that you never have to worry about visibility on the skin or stains on your clothes.
Impressively, the Freshening All-Over Body Deodorant does all of this without aluminum, talc, alcohol, or baking soda.
What people are saying
I was pleased to read that some of the first customers to review the Freshening All-Over Body Deodorant echoed the same sentiments my fiancé has — even those who were skeptical about natural deodorants in the first place.
"I was skeptical about this product as most deodorants stop working for me and then I have to use another brand," one Boscia customer noted. "I was pleasantly surprised that this deodorant kept me dry and feeling fresh all day."
Others have bragged about the Freshening All-Over Body Deodorant's ability to "save you" from thigh and high-heel chaffing.
"It doesn't leave a nasty white residue like regular deodorant, provides protection and softening, and has a neutral scent that isn't overpowering," another reviewer said. "It gives a really nice skin-protecting slip on inner thighs, and when used on feet it provides a cushion against rubbing."
And there's a major bonus for runners: They can forget about painful blisters forming after applying.
"I have a pair of shoes that always leaves blisters, but with this deodorant I was able to wear them for a full day with no issues," that same customer noted.
The verdict
The Freshening All-Over Body Deodorant by Boscia has made its debut in perfect timing for summer.
With convenient packaging that allows you to squeeze-out the product and rub it on with a hassle-free applicator, you don't have to worry about using your fingers either.
While the price point is not accessible for everyone (especially if you reapply throughout the day), Boscia guarantees that the Freshening All-Over Body Deodorant is good for 60 uses.
If you think you can stretch the tube over 60 days, it might just be more than worth it.
