Product Information

Users of Fit Pit in the office had mixed opinions on it. Some told us it was 'effective and long lasting' but 'can be a bit messy to apply'. Others reported that it left greasy marks on their clothing if they dressed as soon as it was applied, so they preferred to let it settle a bit first. Apply to freshly-cleaned wet or damp underarms, ideally after a bath or a shower. Alternatively, wet the crystal before application. Do not use on broken skin. Keep the crystal dry between uses to enhance product life. One user told us the deodorant had done a 'decent' job but that it sometimes needed to be reapplied during the day.

There's a range of unisex scents available, largely based on essential oils such as peppermint, citrus, rosemary and bergamot, as well as gender-specific options. Some people might still prefer to opt for aluminium-free products, and if you're keen on plastic-free deodorant you might not have any choice, as most are aluminium-free. The base ingredients in Wild deodorant includes tapioca starch to absorb moisture, and sodium bicarbonate to control odour. Extracts of essential oils provide the fragrances. This product is a crystal made from potassium alum - a natural mineral salt - and sits on the surface of the skin in a microscopic layer, where it kills bacteria. Ammonium alum is another one you'll commonly find in this type of product. Bearing in mind that deodorant is simply a product that reduces body odour, then yes: Salt of the Earth is absolutely effective. However, many of us tend to use the term 'deodorant' as a catch-all for products that are also antiperspirants – aka formulas that plug your pores and stop you from sweating.Salt of the Earth's range has evolved into sprays, roll-ons, balms and more since it first launched the Classic Crystal – so it's no surprise that our first impressions were that this is a super no-frills product. NATURAL DEODORANT - Formulated without synthetic additives, the Salt of the Earth Crystal Classic Natural Deodorant is 100% natural, gentle on your skin and made with natural mineral salts.

As for its eco credentials, Akt has a stylish recyclable aluminium tube and cap, and comes in cardboard boxes. There are also fears that aluminium found in everyday items such as aluminium cans, antacids and antiperspirants could cause Alzheimer's. But the Alzheimer's Society says: 'No convincing relationship between amount of exposure or aluminium in the body and the development of Alzheimer's disease has been established.'
