How To Use
How To Use Essano Mandarin & Aloe Vera Natural Deodorant
Apply to clean, dry underarms. Reapply throughout the day for best results. Patch-test before use.
New to natural deodorants? Not sure how they work?
If you’re new to essano’s natural deodorants, your body might go through a readjustment phase, which takes up to 30 days for your body to adjust fully from aluminium-based deodorants and antiperspirants.
During this readjustment phase, you can sometimes experience an increase of odour-causing bacteria. But rest assured that this won’t last forever as it is just a part of the adjustment that happens when your pores are no longer blocked.
Once your body completed the readjustment phase, the bacteria and odour will subside and you can be confident you are using a product that is gentle yet effective.
We’re so confident it works, so we’re offering a money-back guarantee! More info here.
I was extremely skeptical prior to using this product as I’ve tried similar products before without success. I liked the consistency (nice and light) and the smell was OK – it actually grew on me as I used it more. Trialling this in winter did mean I think it performed better than it would in summer – it has worked very well for me but I suspect would not stand up to a robust workout or hot day. That being said, I will be repurchasing to use this over winter because I liked the lack of nasties.
+ PROS: Lasted better than other similar (and more expensive) products on the market. Light and non greasy. No yucky chemicals - which I love since I'm breastfeeding and have a newborn close to those areas a lot of the day.
- CONS:Did not stand up to labour/birth or the relatively warm temps in hospital which makes me believe it won't stand up to any reasonable workout or hot day. The scent could be a little nicer (citrus tends to perform less desirably as a cover over sweat) maybe add hints of vanilla?
This has a refreshing smell, and as someone who doesn’t sweat a lot, it works perfectly well for my needs. I like that it doesn’t contain harmful chemicals.
+ PROS: Smells good
No residue
- CONS:A little runnier than I’m used to for a roll on
This smelt so yummy! No residue after application and didn’t sting! Which I have encountered with many others. However, lasting ‘upto 8 hours’ is not enough. I work 12 hour shifts, and want to trust my deodorant, unfortunately it didn’t even last half that time.
I have to use clinical deodorant as post babies my hormones seemed to change my body odour! This deo unfortunately is just too weak for my needs but thats not to say it wouldn’t work great I am a special case!
+ PROS: None sorry
- CONS:Doesn't work for those with body odor issues
I have always been one to stick with the same roll on, ever since i very first started using deodorant. I have always struggled to find one to keep my dry all day. With 4 kids, a lot of sports and a full time job, i needed something that would last all day.
I was a little nervous trying Essano Mandarin & Aloe Vera Natural Deodorant however i have now used this all week and i absolutely love it. Its very light, soft, smells devine, costs a little more than i would usually spend but totally worth the additional couple of $$.
+ PROS: Smells Devine, keeps me dry all day and i have a very busy schedule.
- CONS:Costs a bit more than i normally would spend.

As someone who uses other brands of natural deodorants I’ve been curious about this one. Unfortunately, I wasn’t a fan. It felt thick and a little sticky going on and the next morning it felt the same way to my surprise. The fact that it only lasts ‘up to 8 hours’ would mean it wouldn’t be of use to me.
I’m a lucky person who doesn’t suffer from body odour, so never found any issues with this product. First impressions are it’s a good size, feels nice and light to hold, smells amazing and feels smooth to put on ( not sticky). I love that it has no nasties
+ PROS: Great size
Doesn't feel sticky when on the body
Smells amazing and refreshing
No nasties
Smell amazing and gentle on my sensitive skin. I react to a lot of deodorants available in the supermarket but not to this one at all. Down side is that the smell doesn’t last very long. Maybe half an hour or an hour at most. Luckily it’s winter so I don’t usually have smelly armpits but not sure if it would do well during summer as I do sweat a lot.
smells gorgeous, LOVE the mandarin scent, but it is ineffective, I ended up going back to my good old Rexona almost immediately.
+ PROS: Smells amazing
- CONS:Doesn't deodorise

I normally love Essano products but this deodorant is the exception. Smells kind of nice at first ( I still think the smell could be better) but you are lucky if it lasts for up to 4 hours! I have to constantly apply it to not stink and I’m not a person that sweats a lot..Totally regret spending 10 dollars on it! Never again
