BODY - Crawford Street Herbes de Provence Cream Deodorant

by - November 23, 2018

Founded in 2010, Crawford Street Natural Skin Care is a Toronto-based company that, like the name states, focuses on creating high-quality natural skin care products. Crawford Street products are made with natural ingredients and in small batches, with some of them being vegan as well, and are packaged in glass to try and reduce plastic wastage. 

As a newbie to the natural skincare world, I gravitated towards the Herbes de Provence Cream Deodorant ($10 for 1oz | $18 for 2 oz) as my first experience with natural deodorants was pretty positive. However, unlike regular stick deodorants, this was a cream deodorant that required using my fingers to apply the product. Not going to lie, I was so weirded out by the thought of touching my own armpits that I used a brush for my first ever application - which was a fail, mostly because finger warmth is necessary for this oil/butter based formula. 
Once I got over touching my armpits, the application was smooth - literally! The formula practically melts into my skin, and actually allowed me to have a more even and thorough application because I could feel it. It doesn't provide any white marks or stickiness that I sometimes get with regular deodorant, which is a huge plus. 
In terms of scent, this deodorant contains scents of lavender, rosemary, parsley, marjoram and thyme, which pretty much screams natural earthy fragrances - much like when walking past a Saje store. The longevity of the product is on par with my experiences so far with natural deodorants - great for everyday use, but not strong enough for the gym. With this in mind, the travel size of the cream deodorant makes it handy for on-the-go reapplication if you're not a fan of using regular deodorant.

All in all, I'm quite happy with Crawford Street's cream deodorant, and although I probably would've never tried this product if not for this opportunity, I'm really glad I did. I'll most likely continue using this deodorant as my travel deodorant, especially with my many commutes to Ottawa to visit the fiance, due to the convenient size. 

Let's be friends!
