“The No Pong anti-odourant paste comes in a small 35g tin, which is equivalent to a one month supply. Upon first opening, I was so impressed by it’s lovely sweet citrus and lemongrass scent. I’m pretty sensitive to fragrances and I don’t like them to cloud me all day, however this smells fresh and lovely and not at all overwhelming. In fact, it is so delicious, I have opened up the tin just to smell it on occasion! Due to the citrus overtones, this would also be fine as a unisex scent.
The paste itself is the smoothest natural deodorant paste I’ve ever used, it rubs on so easily and is easy to use even on cold mornings. I did find the tin a bit tricky to open – so much so that I went onto the FAQ section of the website to find out some tips. Sure enough, I learnt that a simple squeeze at the midline where the join is, pops the top up. Since then I’ve had no real issues, though it is more tricky than a screw top. On the plus side, this tin is completely biodegradable being made from tinplate and not aluminium which is pretty impressive. Though it is so cute, I can imagine reusing them easily too.
What’s most impressive about this deodorant is that it actually works. I have tried it on hot days, stressful days, chasing after children, at work and in all sorts of situations and my underarms have smelled beautiful all day. This product is so effective that I’d recommend it to anyone – even those who are really needing a strong, reliable odour blocker. This beautiful non-toxic, sweet smelling tin of deliciousness is your answer. I couldn’t recommend it more highly.”

“The original No Pong Anti odourant is based on coconut oil and sodium bicarb and has a citrus smell. It is easy to apply and works well. A good price option for a non-toxic deodorant. In a handy tin.
*Note: Deodorant choice is very personal and each user is likely to have a different response. This product contains sodium bicarbonate which some people react to.

“This product does exactly what it promises on the tin: in the week I’ve been using it I haven’t detected any odour/ pong on either myself or the clothes I’ve been wearing, and I’ve only applied it twice per day. What I really like about it is that it’s fairly scent-free, and another thing I like is that it doesn’t change its texture according to the climate, despite containing coconut oil. The thing I love most about it is that the packaging is reusable, recyclable, plastic-free and biodegradable. Great little product. However, little it is – I think they could be a little more generous with the amount, although the RRP is very affordable.”

“Smells Lovely. I like that an application stick was provided. Soft feeling on, not oily at all, great travel size for handbags.”
