I Tested Literally Every Natural Deodorant Ever So You Don’t Have To And Here’s What Works For Me
Making the switch to non-toxic products is a daunting task so I’d suggest starting with your pittys. It may seem mundane but for women especially, it is so important to not put any unnecessary toxic ingredients on your arm pits because those glands are so close to your boobies, and lots of ingredients in conventional deodorants and antiperspirants, have been linked to breast cancer. Lots of people shy away from switching to natural deodorants because “they don’t work”. But I find thats not true, you just have to put in the work to find what works for your bodies chemistry! Your body does take a minute to adjust to the less aggressive ingredients and produce less body odor. But what better time to make the switch than when we’re trapped in our homes and don't have to be around other humans!! I have tired legit every deodorant on the market. I’ve scoured the isles of everywhere from Target to Whole Foods to Sephora and narrowed down my favorite deodorants that I rotate between!
Necessaire Deodorant: I have been using this since they launched about a year ago and absolutely love it. It’s my #1 recommendation I give to people when they ask for a natural deodorant. I have used both the Eucalyptus and Sandalwood scent and can’t decide which I love more. The packaging is mess free and totally recyclable and the actual product is a perfect consistency. Not too thick, not too wet. Lots of other natural deodorants get foamy and gross throughout the day and I have never had that issue with this one!
Maison Louis Marie: Maison Louis Marie is a clean fragrance and candle company. I had the candle in this scent and LOVED IT. When I saw that they had a deodorant in the same scent I was like well shoot gotta try it. LOVE THIS TOO. It is probably the longest lasting natural deodorant I’ve tried.
Way Of Will: So here is the thing about natural deodorants…. because they're not filled with scary ingredients like lead, aluminum and plastic, their lasting power isn't on the same level as a regular deodorant, so you may need to reapply. I love this spray for that. It’s a great, mess free way to top off throughout the day and the smell is DEVINE. I pick mine up from Whole Foods and it’s like $10.
Kopari CBD Deodorant: I’ve been using this one for years and have gotten a few of my friends hooked on this one as well. The smell is super herbal and earthy which I love and the CBD is gentle on sensitive underarms like mine. The only thing I don't live for is that the packaging can be a little stiff and hard to roll up.
Kosas Sport Deodorant: So I have a love hate relationship with this one. The actual product is one of the best formulas I have found. It smells like a freakin spa, has amazing lasting power and actually helps with sweat a bit too. But the packaging is a BITCH to work with. It’s a squeeze tube with a roller ball and you have to really work to get it out. But once its on your pits you’re good to go!
If you decide to give these products a try, don’t give up on them after one or two uses. Give your body time to adjust to the product!!
