Revised 6/30/10
Well, due to some things I’ve learn recently, I can no longer recommend Tom’s of Maine as a company. I learned that Tom’s of Maine is owned by Colgate, which isn’t well known for caring about the environment or animal rights. Poo.
Also, about a month or so ago, I got a chemical burn from my Tom’s deodorant. It wasn’t super horrible. I didn’t loose layers and layers of skin. I did however end up with matching scars. Thank goodness no one is expected to have beautiful armpits. I’m not sure why it happened. I’ve become super sensitive to lots of things in the last couple of years. It may also have been a fluke. The only thing I know is that once I stopped using that deodorant, my skin started to heal. I tried it once more and it got worse. Lame.
So my friends, I can no longer recommend this brand due to it’s ownership and who knows what comes with that. I know that not everyone will have a bad reaction, but there might be some others out there that need to hear they aren’t the only ones whom can’t tolerate it even though it’s mostly natural, whatever that means.
