Kaia Naturals The Underarm Bar Review

Hello, hello!

Today I’m reviewing The Underarm Bar from Kaia Naturals that came in my January Petit Vour box. [info in italics taken from the Petit Vour website]

KaiaNaturals UnderarmBar1

Transforms any natural deodorant into extra strength protection. Formulated with apple cider vinegar and activated charcoal to create a protective barrier against odor-causing bacteria. Use the bar on your underarms prior to applying natural deodorant for extra odor protection on those extra sweaty days.

Usage: Moisten the bar, and create a paste. Apply to odorous areas (underarms, feet, etc) in a circular motion. Leave on for 30 seconds before rinsing. Use daily with The Takesumi Detox Deodorant. 

Kaia Naturals The Underarm Bar

I’ve been using the Underarm Bar for two weeks, with natural deodorants. Unfortunately I don’t own the Takesumi Detox Deodorant yet, but I plan on buying one after I use up my current stash. I’ve been testing it with my Native Deodorants – both the regular and sensitive formulas.

So how does it measure up?

THIS STUFF IS FREAKING AWESOME! It makes my baking soda free deodorant last until I shower the next day. Baking soda free deodorants tend to not be a long lasting for me, but I try to use them on days that I’m working from home to give my sensitive underarm skin a break from the baking soda in my regular natural deodorant.

I really think that with this bar, I am going to be able to start exclusively using a baking soda free deodorant! How awesome is that?

I love facial oils and this one sounds perfect for my sensitive skin. I will probably start testing this out in a week or two, so the review might be mid-Feb or so.

I thought that these were facial wipes, but it says on the package for face, hands and sensitive or special places… Oh, haha, now I get the name!
