PHLUR Father Figure Natural Deodorant - 48 Hour Odor Protection Baking Soda Free & Aluminum Free Deodorant - Salicylic Acid, Arrowroot Powder & Tamanu Oil - No Residue or Irritation

I've tried so many natural deodorants over the years, and PHLUR’s Father Figure & Vanilla Skin combo is by far the best I’ve found, especially for someone like me who deals with Hidradenitis Suppurativa (HS). If you have sensitive underarms, are prone to flare-ups, or struggle with finding deodorants that don’t clog pores or cause irritation, this is a game-changer.What I Love:No Baking Soda & No Aluminum – This is crucial for anyone with HS or sensitive skin. Baking soda often causes dryness or burns for me, but this formula skips it and still controls odor effectively.No Bumps or Irritation – After weeks of use, zero bumps, redness, or friction. That’s huge for me.Long-Lasting Odor Protection (Really Does Last 48 Hours) – I live in the hot Southern climate, and whether I'm running errands or out for hours, it holds up beautifully and keeps me fresh throughout the day.Clean Ingredients That Actually Work – Ingredients like salicylic acid, arrowroot powder, and tamanu oil do more than mask odor, they keep skin balanced and calm inflammation. The salicylic acid gently exfoliates, which helps prevent clogged pores (a big plus for HS flare-ups).No Residue, No White Marks – It goes on clear and dries down fast. I can throw on a black shirt right after without worrying.Scent – "Father Figure" is warm, earthy, and not overpowering - think subtle sophistication with a gender-neutral vibe. "Vanilla Skin" is soft and slightly sweet but still clean. I layer them sometimes and they blend beautifully.Texture & Application:It’s a smooth solid, not too hard, not too oily. It glides on effortlessly, which matters when your skin is sensitive or healing from a flare.Final Thoughts:If you’re navigating Hidradenitis Suppurativa or just have ultra-sensitive underarms, this deodorant might be your holy grail. No bumps, no stinging, no weird residue - and it actually works. It’s a little pricier than drugstore options, but for the comfort and confidence it gives me daily, it’s worth every penny.

Update: Immediately no more bumps and in-grown hairs under my arms. They actually look smooth and pretty again. I’m a massage therapist and physical work all day and still works without reapplying well into the next day. I ended up buying their perfume because the smell is so amazing. Definitely my new favorite vanilla scent — I almost didn’t get this because I was afraid this was going to be a heavy jasmine or gardenia vanilla as a lot of “upscale” vanillas are too floral. This is still a nice, sweet and warm vanilla without smelling cheap. It has the light notes of sandalwood and very subtle subtle floral but doesn’t overpower, it just complements lightly. Just makes it very classy and would definitely complement nice perfumes. Went on *actually* clear and smooth. I just shaved my armpits dry without water and put this on. No stinging at all. I never apply downward, only up to go with the flow of hair growth so I don’t put it directly into my pores so much. I was using Native coconut/vanilla but wanted to try this as I got bumps from that one. I’ll update how effective it is and if bumps emerge .

This is not your average natural deodorant. The scent is warm, soft, and cozy without being overly sweet — like a grown-up vanilla that lingers in the prettiest way. I’ve layered it with other perfumes and body sprays, and it always complements instead of competing.The formula glides on smooth, doesn’t leave white streaks, and actually keeps me fresh all day — even in Las Vegas heat. I’ve tried so many “clean” deodorants that flopped, but this one delivers. It’s soft creamy in the best way and the packaging is amazing.If you’re into soft, feminine, skin-like scents and want something that feels like part of your fragrance routine (not just your hygiene routine), this is the one. It’s giving cozy luxury ✨

It has a pleasant scent but after wearing it for a few hrs I felt like I smelled very musty which I personally do not like. I won't buy it again but thay is just my personal opinion!

I was so pleased with this purchase. I love Father Figure perfume and wondered if this would actually have enough of that fragrance and I’m happy to say it did! Not too strong or weak and the deodorant actually keeps me dry and controls odor perfectly for me. The only complaint I have is that the product does tend to “unroll” and go back into the plastic case and can be a little scratchy so I have to roll it back out. I’ll just plan to roll it out more than I do my other deodorants but it’s not a real issue for me at all. It does stay up, just not as much as I wish it did. Yes, it’s worth the money and it smells great, does what a deodorant is supposed to do. Great way to layer on the scent!
