We all need deodorant, but does it have to contain harsh chemicals with names like aluminum chlorohydrate, phthalates, triclosan, and propylene glycol? Absolutely not. The ingredients in our selection of natural deodorants are easier to pronounce, but they’re just as effective.
Say ‘Hasta la Vista’ to Antiperspirants
Sweating is our way of thermoregulating, and it happens to be so effective that it gave our hominid ancestors an advantage over other mammals. It’s as natural as salivating or sleeping. That’s why all of our deodorants are free from sweat-gland blockers: So you can continue sweating as nature intended, but without the accompanying odors.
Top Deodorant Stick Brands
Not sure where to start? Check out a few of these top recommended deodorant brands:
Acure
Sulfates, parabens, aluminum, petrolatum, silicon: You won’t find them in this family-owned company’s deodorant sticks. What you will find is all-natural, 100% vegan ingredients like coconut oil, shea butter, and lavender that neutralize underarm odors. This brand is dedicated to healthy, high-quality products, and it shows. You’ll like the way you smell.
Pretty Frank
This brand is a classic case of “Mom knows best.” Amy Perez wanted to create a deodorant formula for her daughter that would neutralize armpit odors without a daily dose of potentially toxic chemicals. She ditched the aluminum in favor of beeswax, essential oils, vitamin E derived from sunflowers, and other wholesome ingredients. Primal Pit Paste was born of a mother’s love.
Schmidt’s
Schmidt’s is what you get when you combine the entrepreneurial spirit of founder Jaime Schmidt with the local maker culture of Portland, Oregon. The company mission is as simple and pure as its products’ ingredients: “To make small, yet effective changes to your lifestyle that benefit overall health,” - one armpit at a time, in this case.
