Lavanila introduces a healthy all-natural deodorant line!

The Healthy Deodorant Vanilla Lavender To Go! Lavanila introduces an all-natural, clinical-strength deodorant that is both safe and effective.

I absolutely love this deodorant. I am always a little nervous when I try all-natural deodorants, because in my experience, they haven’t worked as well! I was happy to find that this product works just as well anything I’ve tried in the past. And the added benefit here is, it smells like Lavanila’s amazing fragrances. It kills 2 birds with 1 stone! Love it!

This travel-friendly size of The Healthy Deodorant is perfect for storing in your gym locker, purse, or packing into your suitcase. The unique formula uses beta-glucan technology to effectively fight odor while soothing, conditioning, and strengthening the skin. It goes on clean, with no sticky wetness, and delivers long-lasting, luxurious results.

What it is formulated WITHOUT:
- Parabens
- Sulfates
- Synthetic Dyes
- Petrochemicals
- Phthalates

What else you need to know:
This dermatologist-recommended, non-irritating, allergy-tested formula does not contain aluminum or mineral oils.

Heaven in a tube!


I have been dreaming of traveling back to Hawaii or anywhere tropical for that matter but my pocket book tells me a trip  the Hawaiian decoration isle in Party City is more in my budget. Well thank you Lavanila for giving me a few minutes of pure tropical bliss in the morning.

To be honest I am amazed by how great their new Healthy Body Wash 2 in 1 in Vanilla Coconut smells. On top of a blissful scent the body wash is great and its so moisturizing I love using it to shave.

Lavanila Laboratories is pleased to announce its latest launch: the Healthy Body Wash 2-in-1 Shower & Shave.
