We all want to navigate through the day without the concern of body odor overshadowing our confidence! This highlights the importance of choosing a good deodorant!
Unfortunately, many deodorants contain controversial substances. Smelling great, yes; health hazards, no 🙅♀️🙅🏽♂️

Schmidt’s deodorant scored 50/100 -good, when I used my Yuka app. in store.
What about anti-perspirant? Is there anything for actual sweating?
Please include g as well as Oz and cups for the non USA supporters! Easy enough to do!
Use a conversion chart. Easy enough to do.
Interesting article, and i really love the app!
Great articles as usual. Amazed you havent included the plain rock crystal/salt deoderant in your top 10 deoderants.
How about deodorants that are not roll ons, any recommend spray deodorants?
I love Yuca
Thank you, I love it
How about toothpaste or mouthwash shampoo conditioner hair oils
What about rock crystal,?
Do these deodorants actually work though?
Yes this is my question too!
Love your app and have passed it on to friends and family!
Thank you for all your important information to help me understand what to look for.
Your app is awesome i tell everyone i care about to use it . You guys are hero’s pulling back the curtain on what company’s are willing to put into us for profit. Thank you
It would be good to know where one can obtain these recommended products. I’ve never heard of these deodorant brands . Are they all American?
Love your app and use it all the time. I have told many people as well about it. 👏😁
I love this app and it’s very helpful. I use 2 different kinds of deodorant that I found in TJMAXX or Marshalls. Phresh (100/100) or Smarty Pits. Smarty Pits was my favorite but it’s hard to find. I have had no smelly issues and they both work great.
Hello; great guide! But…are you familiar with CRYSTAL natural mineral salt rocks? Wet and rub in your pits. I’ve used this for over a decade and works great; no irritation! Especially cool they have a travel size too! This is one of my favorite products, EVER, and it lasts for years with daily use!!
Check them out at; https://www.thecrystal.com (and no, I don’t work for them, just a fan!)
YES!!!! I too, have used Crystal for over a decade. Only deodorant I’ll buy!
But how do they work?
Aren”t there any name brands that are excellent?
Aren”t there any brand names that are excellent?
My daughter has been using Lume, but I haven’t checked it out yet.
I love this app ❤️ Thank you
My main challenge has always be to find a natural deodorant that can actually control odor. I haven’t found one yet that has the best of both :’)
You may find it useful to use a homeopathic remedy for odour, I use Sulfur when I get a run of odour issues. Generally though I find no odour issues as I use a rock crystal deoderant.
Where can you find the top 3 because I have never seen them in any stores
🌕SATISFACTION, GUARANTEED🌍
I would add Hei Human deodorant. 100% recyclable packaging and good quality deodorant
👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Which one’s work with antiperspirants??
Thank you, this is very helpful.
Thanks you
Thank you for all your great information!
It would be so amazing if you started your own website to go to to buy these products and see reviews – like almost Yukazon
I would like to know which one of these choices did the best job at odor and wetness protection please!
Thank you for this. Have you tried Each and Every deodorant? It is simply THE BEST!! It’s clean and had the best scents.
Thank you for this post. I needed to know. I use Tom’s.
Schmidt’s didn’t work for me. I love Attitude deodorant. Best one I’ve tried.
This list would be more helpful if you also include effectiveness as criteria for rating. I have tried Tom’s and find that it does not work so am skeptical of your list.
I simply love this app!! Yuka makes it easy to have the right healthy choices and economically wise.
Love this App!! I wish you could go back to scanning Protein drinks. Why was this change made? Luckily I had scanned the one I use before the app changed.
Love this App♥️ Keep on keeping us safe🌻
I would like to recommend booda butter organics deodorant. It has no scent (for those sensitive to smells), it works, keeps me oder free for a long time with just a small amount. It’s Vegan and Palm free. It comes in a small glass jar which is easier to recycle. Yuka app approved as excellent. I’m impressed.
The Squatch is not good at all!
After using it for a couple weeks, I was told by my wife and daughter that I had body odor! I’ve switched to Mando. FANTIASTIC
Thank u so much for emailing me about this I am so happy to try out these new deodorants
This is all well and good, however, deodorant is just that, something to cover up a smell. What about antiperspirants?I don’t want to wet pit spots under the arms of my dresses or blouses.
I have scanned some Avon antiperspirant/deodorants that were good or excellent. Some of them are not. I order them from Amazon. Or u can order directly from Avon. Either way, prices are reasonable.
YUKA is for healthy, clean products. Antiperspirants clog your pores to prevent perspiration which is toxic for your system.
Yuka will have deodorants but no antiperspirants, or any antiperspirants rated highly like these anyway.
I’m trying Humble on your recommendation
Thank u for keeping me/us informed about the products that r out there and their safety!
Great information,love getting this,love being informed ,
What about HUME? They didn’t make you list but my favorite scent out west scores 93 on your app?!
Thanks. Great info
Thank you for all your research. Not just this deodorant list but for the tools to help consumers stay informed.
Thank you for telling the Truth . Humble is very good 👍🏼. I started detoxify my system many years ago you make it easy. Thank you. Jesus Christ is LORD
We use native deodorant which is one of the brands we find on island and I see Tom’s is on the list this is helpful information thank you
What about some of the homemade deodorants? I see lots of recipes on Pinterest. Thankyou!
I’m sure if you make your own, you can use non-toxic ingredients.
What are the ingredients in the deodorants that are harmful to us?
It will say on their app.
What about Native? I like it so far and smells great!
Some are good, some scan bad. Had the same issue with body wash.
Thank You
I thought that Lume was safe
Lume didn’t work for me.
I am a total fan of your mission & your app! Thank you so very much for helping me make safer choices. It’s amazing how I’ve cut out some things that I would’ve bought before not knowing it would have a couple controversial ingredients. So again, many thanks.
Excellent infirmation thanks
It would have been nice to read at least a little bit of how well the deodorants work.
Do they prevent smelling all day? It gets expensive trying out all these deodorants.
I am currently using Hello, and it’s nice except it and Eleo Coco really stains my garments, at least the whites, so now I have bras and tank tops that are stained. And certainly not good for wearing in public (the tank tops). I have also tried Tom’s, I did not find it effective.
I’ve had good luck with humble & I can really work up a sweat being an active person. Also, Lume works really well (though it didn’t make the top 10 here). Hopefully you find one that doesn’t stain.
I use Piper Wai. Where does it rank?
I think you can look it up on the Yuka app.
Where can you buy these products & do they leave marks on one’s clothing?
Should mention right at the beginning that this is only focusing on the North-American / US market (?).
My husband & I both use the app. People ask us what we’re scanning when we’re shopping and we tell them about your app! We both love it! Keep up the good work! It’s very important with all the toxins in everything!
Thank you you make life a little easier. Do you
have any te
Recommendation s for sunscreen??
Yes, none! Just be smart and don’t burn.
What about Lume?
I tried Lume’, I did not like it. I felt sticky by the end of the day. So for the price point, I thought it too much for too little.
My daughter and I both tried Lume as well, did not like it at all. It did not stop perspiration and when you perspire, you smell, it did nothing for that either.
Lume doesn’t get a good rating on the app.
I love the product – could not live without it!
Yuka! Can you do do the results on Tom’s of Maine fresh Powder. I’ve been using this for years .I see that the unseated one is good I’m just wondering about the one I use
I love Yuka! I speak about Yuka every time I encounter a person especially at grocery stores. And of course my neighbors and family members also use it. Thank you for putting such great detailed information out.
Yuka! Thank you for a that you do……..
Hello I was wondering if your investigation included Etee prebiotic deodorant. Ingredients as follows; Maranta arundinacea root powder, Cocos nucifera oil, hydrogenated vegetable oil,butyrospermum Parkin butter, zinc ricinoleate cap rate, caprylic triglyceride, citrus bergamot, glycerin, morindacitrifolia callus culture lysate, water, citric acid, maltose rom, pony’s Sylvester’s, d-apha tocopherol.
I thank you so much to help the people that wants to be help. I appreciate so much; finally we have some one to help us. Research shows positive affirmations can help change thought patterns and influence different behavioral changes for the better.
I love Yuka!
Hey, been going through it with deodorants lately. Probably with all the hormone changes that are coming on at this stage in my life. Point being first step healthy n not harmful! Check! Now which ones actually work for keeping you dry and not smelly 😊 thanks d
Your group coming to the states was exactly what people needed. I love Yuka!! I feel empowered when I walk into a store to choose products. I have literally changed everything that I use. Thank you YUKA!!
Thank you
Thank you, thank you, thank you. I so appreciate all the hard work your company does. I am concentrating on everyday substances right now and eliminating all the harmful things I know.
I know you don’t deal with drugs but I had to because I have cancer and health concerns. Wish the pharmaceutical people had your integrity! I found out MOST contain PolyEthylene Glycol (antifreeze) because it is cheaper. No value put on our lives. Watch out folks and check again, again and again before using.
I am trying very hard to be plastic free and most of these are plastic containers. Can you possibly incorporate that into your information? I have had good luck with Ethnique which is in cardboard.
She posted 2 items that were either cardboard or recycled materials!
Thank you guys this was very helpful …cant wait to see soaps,and toothpaste🤗
Thank you guys this was very helpful …cant wait to to soaps,and toothpaste🤗
Where can I buy this
I’ve been using Tom’s for years and find it to be very effective, so I’m glad to learn that it is also free of harmful chemicals. Thanks, Yuka staff, for all that you are doing to alert us to foods and personal care products that enhance, rather than endanger, our health!
I need to know how effective they are too.
I appreciate the work you have done to give me and my wife a list of Safe deodorants to use. I can’t understand how many companies can use additives that maybe harmful for our health.
I thank you for the information but I use a product. It helps my health and I do not agree on. It is all the heavy metals have been taken out of my body..
Good App I used a lot thank you I need to know safe sun screen
Good job
Thank you fo rthis list of deodorants – the question left is do they work?
Good app I use it alot.
Would be nice to know about dogs and cats products too. Thanks job well done ✅
How does DoTerra’s deodorant rank?
And how about Young Living deodorant as well?
I don’t think Yuka rates MLM companies.
I have been obsessed with this app since a family member told me about it over a year ago. After a week I knew I needed this in my life and signed up to be a premium member. I tell everybody everywhere I go how powerful this app is and I’m just so thankful that there are people like you, that can help people like us know what is exactly in our products and foods! Please keep up the excellent work we all need you!
I think you should add Hume to that list. Also, thank you so much for this app. It has really been a GameChanger for myself and my family.
Thank you for this information on deodorant’s! I have been using Native unscented and wondered why it didn’t make the top 10 list?
I have used Tom’s, but for me it does not stop body odor!
I want to know this too
I have issues with deodorants causing either itching, no odor protection or causing worse odor. I have tried so many, including most on this list. I gave ClayDry Bold by ZionHealth a try (which is graded as Excellent 100/100 on Yuka, fortunately). It not only works but I have had zero odor and since it is made with clay, no sticky residual residue. I highly recommend it, especially if you are a woman over 50. They have a great variety of scents, including scent free.
My Tom’s does have a smell I don’t like but wondering if it starts to smell after using it a while. It does not smell like body odor though
I have been using Native and Lume and found that they both give me a rash and terrible itching in my arm pits. Do these products you recommend cause the same issues?
I’m wondering what other criteria these are ranked on. My dr told me to switch deodorants and finding one that performs (so you don’t smell) besides the clean ingredients, has been a challenge. I’ve tried Native and Tom’s but don’t help with oder. Currently I use one by Ivory and it seems to be working great.
Smarty pits is a good one
I recommend finding some locally made brands and trying them out.
I get mine at Farm Stores and small locally owned businesses
