Happy long weekend to my Canadian followers, it is "family day". You’ve probably seen a lot of buzz about natural deodorants in the last year, especially the Kopari coconut deodorant. I tried a natural deodorant a few years ago, but I had an unexpected allergic reaction to it and found it didn't work at all for me, but I I decided to test out this deodorant on January 1st (give it a good month on testing) especially how great the reviews were and I also love coconut anything! I feel like deodorant is something that’s just part of our normal routine that we don’t necessarily put a lot of thought into. But I have always heard / learned about the ingredients in deodorant and the potentially dangerous side effects of those ingredients, but it is a long process to switch over, I thought Kopari would be different because the brand is very honest about the "Detox Stages". From January 1st-20th everything was going smoothly, the Detox Stages were right I was a little smelly than and a lot more sweaty than normal, become obsessed with the coconut scent, and was starting to become a true believer. Until February 2nd when I noticed I woken up to full blown rash under my armpits! My rash was really red, developed bumps, almost looked a tad bit purple in some lights. To say I was shocked was an understatement, I know I do have sensitive skin and I figured if I was going to have a reaction it would have happened in the first week or two. I went on google right away to find out if there were any reviews about other people having a reaction to the Kopari coconut deodorant and there was, about 50% of people have reactions to the fragrance of this deodorant and the other didn't. Which is why on their website they do offer a fragrance free version, I would like to try it at some point in the future when the discolouration under my armpits goes away. I not saying to not try the deodorant, I'm telling you my experience for other people out there that maybe had broken out into a rash and not sure why OR for people to see just because there is a lot of people trying and saying this product is amazing, this is to give a different perspective. Hope you all have a great week! *NOT sponsored, all opinions are my own.*
