MiEssence Tahitian Breeze Roll-on Deodorant

New Design is nonfunctional and now painful to use – As a man with hairy armpits (which must be half of the MiEssence consumer base) this new design with a smaller roller ball catches the hairs and pulls them out every single time. Old design was standard roll on shape and size, pull the top off roll it on and put the top back on. Now you have to take the top off turn to switch it on and then turn… Read more

to switch it off again. Also now because it's some soft type of packaging, if you squeeze it while using (which is almost impossible not to do) then more comes out than you want and you get really wet armpits. The new shape is also awkward and doesn't fit into a toiletry bag neatly anymore and takes up more space. This is the worst design change to a product i've ever seen. They took a perfect and simple product that worked and made it complicated and unusable. I know i'm not the only one that is complaining, this must be hurting their sales.

Like so many others, the new packaging has ruined this product for me – Not only is the new packaging awkward and unpleasant to use, but for the first time after years of using this deodorant, the product irritated my skin! Please Miessence, review your decision to use sugarcane packaging. Show details

New packaging ruins this product – I have used this product for years but really don’t like the new packaging. It’s so big, makes it awkward to use and pack for travel. Plus it leaks if you don’t turn it off. Unfortunately I wont be buying it again. Show details

new container makes a great product unusable – Have used this deodorant for 9 years and been perfectly happy with it. However the new container makes use difficult for someone with arhtritis. And if not closed correctly it leaks quite a bit! Sadly I will now need to find a replacement product Show details

Love the deodorant, hate the packaging – My family and I have been using this deodorant for years and love the actual deodorant. The new packaging, while I understand the company wanting to move away from plastic, is terrible. Like the other reviewer, it’s messy. If you can’t see the on/off markings (me, even with glasses on) or turn the on off it runs everywhere in the lid (and into… Read more

your bag like it did for my daughter) so then you need to somehow balance it on its end. I also won’t be buying anymore until a more traditional, user friendly option is found. Now I need to find a new deodorant!

Hate the new packaging – I have used this deodorant for years. The company has gone from the packaging on the picture, to white and now to something which resembles a toothpaste tube. I have always thought the deodorant worked well. With the new packaging you have to turn it to on/off, which means your hands get wet so you have to be near a tap to rinse them. Also as it… Read more

has pointy edges...like the toothpaste tube shape, if you put it under your shirt to apply it can pull at your material and damage your shirt. I am not happy with the not so user friendly container now, and although it works, it is now too inconvenient to use so I will not be purchasing again.

Best deodorant on the market for me – This deodorant is simply the best deodorant I've ever used. I cannot get it at them moment grrr. Hopefully be available in Perth WA shortly. No aluminium compounds or chemical antiperspirants which is a bonus. Show details

Love it! – This works amazingly. I am so impressed. I have used other organic/natural deodorants before and while they did work okay they weren't as long lasting as this one. No nasty chemicals, why would you use anything else?

What has happened? This product used to be amazing – I used this product for about ten years, loved it, used it faithfully. Even on hot days I didn't need a top up. Then recently I went to buy another and found it had a new label and new smell. Now it doesn't work, lasting at best two hours. Upon querying at my local health food shop if I could possibly get the old packaging, I was told no, and that… Read more

two staff who had also used it faithfully, found it doesn't work anymore for them either. Not happy.

I reacted to this too and hopeless if you sweat a lot – To be fair to Miessence, they don't advertise this product as low-allergy and just because something is natural doesn't mean it won't cause allergies. Unfortunately the products I don't react are generally the ones with chemicals in it - like Cetaphil. this is quite highly fragranced and it gave me a sore rash. I really wish I could use a… Read more

natural deodorant, but I sweat big and this is just hopeless. Of course it isn't an antiperspirant so it doesn't claim to stop you sweating, but I found it didn't control the smell either. Moogoo is better as it contains cornstarch to absorb some of the sweat (but it does leave white marks). Others seem to like this deodorant but unfortunately it doesn't work for me,

Caused skin reaction, doesn't work on me as a deodorant

Under Arm Rash – At first, I love this deodorant, especially the smell (it smells just like the Aveda store). However, after a few months of use I had a horrible peeling rash under my arms. I stopped using this deodorant immediately and the rash went away, but it still took weeks to heal all the way. My boyfriend also let me know that while using this I had… Read more

horrible BO, but he didn't want to tell me at the time because I was so excited to find an "effective" natural deodorant. Good to know BO is not a deal breaker for him. Fragrance, inexpensive Rash, ineffective

Allergic to this deodorant :( – I thought I had found a chemical free deodorant that actually works, but... after using it for a couple of days my underarms started to itch, it never occurred to me that it could be my new deodorant - how could it be? It's all natural. Anyway after 5 days the itching was becoming annoying and when I looked under my arms it looked like I had a… Read more

'red traffic light' under each arm - ouch! What a shame, I loved the smell but now my Tahitian Breeze is in the bin. Loved the smell, the fragrance lasted well Wet and sticky, caused a nasty rash

Allergic to this deodorant – After trying this deodorant a few times i have found i am allergic to it, causing an itchy red rash on the armpit. if you find that you are allergic to highly fragranced products this might not be for you as is the case for me. It was very wet putting it on but doesnt take long to dry.

Finally one that works! – Really happy with this deodorant. I have been searching for awhile to find a deodorant without aluminium that actually works, and this is it. Its a bit wet when you roll it on but I am happy to put up with that, you just need to allow a bit of extra time for it to dry. I am so happy to be using this product and knowing that I am not putting any… Read more

harmful chemicals into my body. I live in Queensland so it has been put to the test. I only wish I had found this sooner. I have recommended it to all my friends. I buy it online and I have also seen it in some health food shops. It actually works A bit wet when you first put it on.

Truly Organic – At last! A truly organic deodorant. Lovely scent. I was surprised that it remains wet for a while, but after thinking about it, reasoned that that's because it is a deodorant, not an antiperspirant, & therefore doesn't contain aluminum. Which is the whole point of being organic. I thought that it would probably need refreshing during the day, but… Read more

surprisingly it lasts all day. Am very impressed with MiEssence products, their integrity, & their credentials. They are certified organic & all ingredients are displayed with pictures & full explanations. It's difficult to find truly organic products, some companies call their products 'natural' but if you research the ingredients, you'll find they've slipped in a few suspect chemicals. It lives up to its claims & the price is reasonable considering the high quality of the ingredients.

Great aluminium-free deodorant – Tried a few deodorants in my time, I found this one online. The Tahitian Breeze deodorant smells beautiful, and lasts during the day! It even does not make my clothing smell at the underarm, which means I can wear cardigans twice! (Not the case even with my anti-perspirant!) I think it is only available online, but looking for an organic, no… Read more ·  1

animal testing, aluminium-free deodorant is hard work! And so I do not mind buying it as it works! Reliable, aluminium-free, no animal testing Slight smell after exercising
