Product reviews from our experts…

Review

I like that it has a lid and the paper container is easy to use. I also love the citrus/ lime smell – it smells fresh. I like that the product is quite large so it will last a while as well. I also love that this brand is 100% female owned and that it’s produced in NZ with quality products.

Review

I like the cute brand name and really love the zestiness of this deodorant. I can testify that it lasts all day long. At last, a company loves the albatross as much as me!
