From Off into the Sunset, Our Strides to a Healthier Future:
"What we really like about this that is uses all natural ingredients. It is handcrafted with no toxic chemicals, no parabens, no aluminum, no gluten, no corn, no soy, no GMO, no triclosan, and no propylene-glycol. We tested out the Sweet Lemonade and Rough Rivers and let me tell you the scents smell very "pure" and "true." We have tried several other "natural" deodorants but still found this one to rate just as good if not better than some of the "name brands!" This deodorant is a bit more delicate and softer than most deodorants you find. When it says "Gently Rub" be cautious how you apply it. It takes a little bit of time to figure out how to rub on just the right amount, but once you do, the scent is very nice. We also have found if you apply it and then just put your arms down for about a minute, it will melt a bit under you arms and then we are able to put our shirts on. We haven't noticed any noticeable white marks other traditional or other natural deodorants can leave on clothes either. We have used it in various situations and found that it is long lasting. We wear it during our regular work day and last all day long. Even after a half-marathon this summer, we could still smell the scent from it! This product has quality wholesome ingredients, lovely scents and something I know will not be harmful to our bodies. Our skin is the largest organ in our bodies and it does take a beating! Help protect it by removing chemicals from the products you put on it. Pachy is made in small batches by two sisters who were passionate to find a simple, clean and organic deodorant. All Pachy scents offer unbeatable odor-protection utilizing food-grade ingredients such as organic coconut oil and uses skin softening raw organic Shea butter as the base for all deodorants.

At this time, it is not available local to us, however, we can order it online and shipping is fast! Currently, there is a promotion if you enter the code: LAUNCH at checkout you get 15% off. I am not sure how long this will last, so if you really want to try it out, order now. What is also very nice is that they do sell a smaller sample pack where you can try all their scents! Want your local co-op or natural food stores to carry this, then just ask to see if they can! If not you can still order it directly from their site and know you are getting a quality product without added chemicals!"
