Human Essentials reviews and discussion
Reviews mention
- Distinctive fragrant scents
- Compostable playful packaging
- Skin‑friendly natural formulation
- Pleasant gliding texture
- Too soft product consistency
- Messy peel‑away dispenser
- Visible white residue
- Unstable stick base
Human Essentials reviews state the brand works as a pleasant, often effective natural deodorant for everyday wear, praised for distinctive, long-lasting scents and compostable peel‑away packaging but hampered by a soft, malleable formula that melts, can leave residue or white streaks, and the peel system can be messy or destabilize the stick.

Loved everything about this deodorant except it’s lack of antiperspirant. I swear a lot so need something with antiperspirant.
The deodorant smells great and works very well. Absorbs quickly and glides on smoothly. I just find the packaging a little messy with the peel off layers.
Feedback
Packaging is unique and different but maybe there is a way to make it less messy.

Sustainable packaging, stays on for a good amount of time. Deodorant melts very easily at first sign of heat, cardboard packaging gets dirty and crumpled very quickly but for natural deodorants seems to work better than most.
Feedback
Stiffer casing although please keep sustainable. or ability to allow for less heat issues or degradation. Good smells, a little too creamy.

Honestly, stunning product. It works (very well), it looks amazing, it smells amazing, and it's planet-friendly. HE managed to make the user experience for applying deodorant SO good, that I had to find a place to write a review. So here I am. Just buy this, seriously.

I've tried both the Coconut Guava & Sea Salt, and the Neroli Pink Peppercorn & Bergamot. Both smell gorgeous and expensive af. Be prepared for people (who get close) to ask "what are you wearing?" in intrigue. They may also want to take a bite out of you. Be prepared.

Love the zero-waste concept and implementation. Solid smells and decent antiperspirant action.

I found myself FLYING through this deoderant this summer until I started keeping it in the fridge. When it's hot the stick has the consistency of a glue stick and lots of it would come off on application, a few words on the package would have been helpful.

I absolutely loved the packaging. It is simple and effective - absolutely genius. I also loved the scent. Sadly I didn't find the product effective. Maybe it just wasn't compatible with my body chemistry but I definitely had stinky pits.

The packaging is a keeper. The formula would need some rework - and it should be a firmer product. I'd also love to see a larger assortment of scents.

I got this deodorant for my tween son--anything to encourage him to actually use deodorant. The novelty of the form and the great scent have been very helpful in getting him to use it. And it works! Combatting boy smells is no mean feat and it's doing that admirably.

The scent is lovely - I tried the desert lime and it was great, the scent also lasted all day. The packaging is also very pretty. What worked less well is: the texture of the deodorant makes it kind of "melt", and the container strips are too big so too much deodorant get discharged at a time. This will not last very long. Also it left white discharge on most of my clothes even after waiting for it to dry up.
Feedback
texture of the deodorant, perhaps it can be more solid? and the strips thinner? Thanks!

Love the packaging. I really like the results from the deodorant. I like that I can compost it

10/10 smell. No pit stains or added perspiration. And the scent that's long-lasting without being too hard on the nose. I haven't scene a deodorant work out there quite like this.

I can't wait for new scents!

I love it! I’ve used 2 different scents over the past 4 months and they have kept me smelling sweet! Sweat less and my skin feels great from using it! Knowing all the ingredients used is so helpful and reassuring! And the packaging is perfect! I don’t end up with a unusable chunk of plastic. Sign me up for more!
