I had to wipe some off, then try reapplying a few times, and honestly it just made a mess and didn't feel good. I released the smallest amount I could-one twist of the dial-then gave it a swipe under my arms and rubbed it in for 4-5 seconds like the directions suggest.and then stood there with my arms out waiting for it to dry and praying for it to not get on my shirt (my prayers were not answered) for a few minutes. I gave it a week of use with the applicator, and I was kind of miserable every day that week. They also suggest it might take up to a week to get the hang of finding the appropriate amount to use.

Lume does advise very clearly that a little goes a long way and to start small. I wouldn't call it "runny," per se, but it's much less creamy than the body lotion I use after shaving my legs. The Reality: A very wet experience with the applicator better when you use your hands.ĭespite all the talk of the creamy, lotion-like consistency of Lume deodorant, I wasn't expecting it to be as thin as it is. The Promise: "Water-based cream that rubs in like a lotion." Naturally scented (no artificial fragrances).Lume also offers 3 oz deodorant tubes that contain the same water-based cream deodorant, meant to be applied with your fingers.You can apply with the stick or your fingers. Deodorant sticks are 2.2 oz bar-style twist-ups that contain a water-based cream deodorant.

In terms of what Lume doesn't include-leaving out potentially harmful ingredients like aluminum and sulfates, as well as common sensitive skin irritants like baking soda and essential oils-it's in good company with the other natural deodorants I've tried.* But two things that set it apart from the others is that its formula has a creamy consistency and that it's marketed as a product you can use for odor protection on any external part of your body. As I continue on my quest to find the best natural deodorant for me, I couldn't skip over Lume.
