Top 6 Reasons to Ditch the Stick and Try a Deodorant Cream

The biggest objection I get to Vital Acre Natural Deodorant isn’t that it doesn’t work (spoiler: it does, really, really well). It’s that people don’t like applying deodorant with their fingers.

But hear me out—there are some serious benefits to ditching the stick. Here are my top reasons why fingertip application is not only better for your pits, but better for your health, your wallet, and the planet.

1. Built-in Wellness Check

Every time you apply with your fingers, you’re naturally checking in with your underarm tissue and lymph nodes. Think of it as a simple daily self-wellness practice—an early detection habit without even trying. And while you’re at it, you’re protecting your health by choosing a deodorant free from hormone-disrupting chemicals found in most drugstore brands.

2. Less Wax = Less Mess

Stick deodorants require extra wax to hold their shape. More wax means harder application and a higher chance of staining your clothes. With cream, you get a smooth, even glide—no residue, no pit-stains.

3. No Waste

With deo cream, you can scrape out every last bit of stink-fighting power and recycle the tin when it’s empty. Stick deodorants always leave a hunk stuck at the bottom. Translation: you’re literally throwing money (and trash) away with a stick.

4. Clean Hands, Clean Pits

Let’s be real—your pits are clean after the shower, so what’s the big deal? And if they’re not… what are you even doing in there? 😉

5. No Cross-Contamination

If you reapply when you’re not fresh-from-the-shower, you’re not grinding germs into your deo stick. Just scoop, swipe, and wash your hands after. Easy.

6. Better Coverage

Using your fingers means you can apply deodorant evenly, in every nook and cranny, for full-day protection. Sticks miss spots—your fingertips don’t.

So next time you scoop our deo cream, know that you’re not just protecting yourself from stink—you’re protecting your health, your clothes, and your wallet too.
