Let's break each product down: 💚Body Butter: it smells amazinggggg, but doesn't really soak in - it just kinda just sits on top of my skin. I personally don't like this sensation (same reason I don't like body oils) so this just isn't for me. I do adore the scent but I hate feeling tacky and oily. 💚Lip Balm w/ SPF: I dig the Mint flavor, but I did notice weird white flecks (from the spf?) on my lips that needed rubbing in. It makes me wonder a bit how well the sun protection is working. I'm going to further test this on my upcoming beach trip, but right now I'm just side-eyeing this one. 💚Grapefruit Lip Balm: wtf is that taste?!? UGH. I almost wiped this off. It DID honestly truly make my lips feel super moisturized, but at what cost? Even after a handful of tries I just couldn't handle the repulsive taste (I'm guessing its the tallow?). 💚Deodorant: So my husband tested this one (I have an issue with natural deodorants) and here is his report: "Overall I think the deodorant is a solid option, but doesn't necessarily out-perform others I've tried. The coconut oil takes a swipe or so to warm up, but then goes on nicely. And this particular scent is strong, but refreshing." (For comparisons sake: he is currently using Humble brand deo). FINAL THOUGHTS:💚 I guess it depends. I'm gonna give this brand a maaaaaaaybe. (Neither a HECK YES or a DUDE NOOO): they honestly get a maybeeee grade from me. If you are hugely into beef tallow (I'm not, tbh) then it could be worth giving this brand a shot. I personally wish they were, idk, more community-oriented as a brand. They don't currently support things like 1% for the Planet, Bcorp, Leaping Bunny, or other partnerships I personally like to support in my shopping (when I can). Obviously not every brand I buy from gives back in these ways, but I do try to vote with my dollar whenever possible. (The owner of the company also leans a little too MAHA for my personal political values, interviewing folks like Paul Saladino).
