Your deodorant is often one of the first products put to the test during long days and busy routines.
Daily activities can quickly lead to odor and discomfort. A good deodorant does more than mask smells: it helps keep you feeling fresh while being gentle on your skin.
But ingredient quality really matters, especially for products you use every day. Some deodorants contain aluminum salts or concerning ingredients like BHT. And because deodorant is applied directly to a sensitive area like the underarms, it’s worth paying close attention to what’s in it.
To make things easier, we’ve rounded up the top 10 deodorants on Yuka. These solid stick formulas are all free from high-risk ingredients, so you can stay fresh with confidence.

Like all our rankings, this one was conducted completely independently, and no brand has paid to be included.
Are these mentioned aluminum free?
+1 for Little Seed Farm deodorants. The Activated Charcoal one is the best I have ever used.
Can you recommend an antiperspirant, please?
Thank you so much for this information!
I personally find Hume to be the best deodorant I have ever used!!. I use the desert bloom fragrance and find it to be a very clean and non offensive smell . It does not stain your clothes as do some of the others rated. It lasts all day and never needs to be reapplied. I use the roll on and it lasts for a few months. So even though it seems expensive , it lasts a lot longer than most. I have used several ranked higher that just didn’t work for me. Love my Hume!
I don’t see Lactovit in this list, but it is the ONLY deoderant I have found effective in the past 15 years.
Were any of these tested for effectiveness, or just rated on clean ingredients? Don’t send us out in the world healthy but stinky after paying $15 for deodorant!
I love you guys. Thank you for sharing the safer brands of deodorant to use. Having the Yuka app makes shopping easier and fun.
This study and your recommendations are excellent. I can’t wait to try one out. Thank you!
What about Jason’s Rose deodorant – great ingredients, it’s the only one I have been wearing for over a decade
Salt & stone ?
Partchouli & buriti Nubian Heritage 86/100
Thank you for listing Yuka’s top ten deodorants. Because of your research & rating system, I have already switched my choice of deodorants. The 2 brands I have already used so far are Humble & Hello.
Advice please…I used antiperspirant for years due to hyperhydrosis on my underarms and finally made the switch to natural deodorant about 6 months ago. The problem is, the sweating is still excessive and extremely uncomfortable…HELP!!! Don’t want to do prescriptions from the doctor-trying to be as natural as I can.
unfortunately, natural deodorants will not help you if you have hyperhidrosis. a deodorant masks the smell of sweat it doesn’t stop you from sweating.
Try Carpe
What about aerosol sprays? I can’t stand sticks….
Dr. Squatch has some…they don’t contain butane like most of the regular brands do which is great!
What about Dr. Teals
I love that they’re all safe to use but I’ve tried to use several of them and they weren’t effective. You can’t say they’re the best if they don’t do what they’re designed to do.
$18 for deodorant? Just like food it’s much easier for the rich to go healthy.
Hello is any of the ten clear gel
what about Schmidts?
I wish antiperspirants had been included. Glad to see so many of these are fragrance free.
Thank you so much for your excellent advice.
Ps little seeds farm has some in a jar! Stop with these big companies! The fragrance is nasty and toxic in old spice!
This is very helpful information. Thank you.
Tom’s and Native sold out to bigger coporations- and I’m trying to stay away from that!
Old spice has a law suit. So there’s that!!! Also extremely strange fragrence!!!
While I appreciate the review of deodorants, there are many good options out there. What’s REALLY hard to find is a GOOD, clean antiperspirant. The stink isn’t what does me in… is always the wet spots on my shirt! Have you done any reviews of antiperspirant/deodorant combos? If not, would you?
Hi Julie,
Have you considered the brand “Thai crystal deodorant mist” a 100% natural deodorant?
Thanks,
Michaell
I appreciate this information as I am considering switching deodorants.
Do any of these “deodorants” keep you dry.? I always thought deodorant just prevents odor.
I have been using aluminum free deodorants for awhile. I prefer a light scent and have been using aluminum free Dove lately along with Native products. Not too keen on unscented deodorants.
Green tidings should have been on this list. Pretty sure the app has it as 100/100 and you have old spice instead lol
I have tried MANY all natural deodorants and the best one is not listed here. Just ingredients magnesium deodorant is the goat. All it has in it is: organic sweet almond oil, magnesium hydroxide, organic beeswax, organic essential oils and extracts, vitamin E oil. It has a 100 rating on Yuka 🙂 plus it doesn’t leave a residue.
I love your site I feel it has helped me make better choices in my life. Thank you
Secret clinical is the best never smell
Like so many others who have commented, I would like recommendations on Antiperspirants, not just deodorants. Any suggestions?
I would like to see how they are ranked. What gave them the scores they received? Is Old Spice really void of high-risk ingredients?? And what about ESG/sustainability factors? I love Native, but they were bought out by Proctor and Gamble, so I am sure they would now have lower sustainability scores. Tom’s as well.
I have been using “Hello” deodorant for quite some time now & it is great! I would recommend it to anyone. Found it in my local grocery store-Giant Eagle.
Thanks for this list, but how well do they work? I guess you don’t usually ask that question, but is it possible for a deodorant to work without aluminum salts or concerning ingredients like BHT? Also, I wish you had considered some products for those of us who are trying to break away from microplastics. Are there no effective deodorants that come without a plastic tube?
Humble comes without plastic in a roll up tube. Humble constantly strives to step into a better world for good health. I’ve used their deodorants for several years. Always find a fragrance that works for me. I also use their unscented for specific functions.
Love this! I’m currently using Wild brand, you purchase an aluminum dispenser and refill sticks. So far I’m happy with the product. You do have to use it daily, and I can’t vouch for the “clean” factor, but maybe look into it!
WOW THIS CHANGED MY LIFE! I WANT TO GET ALL THESE AND USE THEM AT ONCE! I MIGHT EVEN USE THEM TO PRANK MY FATHER WHILE HE IS SLEEPING! 10/10 REVIEW! I THINK MY CAPSLOCK IS BROKEN!
😂
Just wondering if these ratings are also for performance. Most alum free deodorants don’t work good.
i use Little Seed. it’s a finger or small stick application. it’s the best. natural deodorant i’ve ever used. check it out!!! made with goats milk and they share pictures and stories about the goats!!
Thanks for sharing. I just went on their website and noticed that all the products have clean ingredients.
What do you recommend for antiperspirants!!!???
You should check out Fussy! It has refills enclosed in cardboard so you can refill your applicator. Less plastic waste, and it works amazingly!
What about Lume depdorant-it is good-healthy to use?
Lume caused me to have severe outbreak under my arms. Their customer service was less than acceptable. Be careful if you have sensitive skin, I now have a problem that didn’t occur before using their deodorant.
On the Old Spice stick ” If your grandfather hadn’t worn it , you wouldn’t have been born” I have used it for decades and I’m 73
Thank you!, you are the best!!!
So happy to see Native on the list! Been using for almost 10 years. Thank you!
Are these deodorants aluminum free?
Thank you.
My current fav is from @littleseedfarm Check out their many products! Vanilla Honey is fabulous!
Is there one that is gel? They give better coverage and ease of use.
Thank you for the suggestions. However, it was unfortunate to see that the links you provided automatically took us to Amazon. Why are you supporting doing business with Amazon? Instead, your links could have been linked directly to the businesses rather than Amazon. Consider this for future promotions.
Encompass farming has the best deodorant I’ve ever used that actually works! Highly recommend!
It would be nice if you could comment on which are in plastic-free packaging. I think I can tell on a couple of them, but I’m not sure on one or two based on the photos. Also, HiBar uses all natural ingredients and NO PLASTIC in its packaging.
Fussy has plastic-free refills and is amazing!
Humble has a plastic free roll up.
Thank you- love these recommendations.
I was surprised to not see Beekman deodorant. Was there a reason why it did not make the list?
Nice thank you 😊 Can you give a rating on sunscreen
What about a deodorant/anti-perspirant?
I don’t want to smell or have sweat spots.
Thanks for all you do!
I recommend Each and Every deodorant! Clean and non irritating.
Hello,
I use Magsol, have for 6 years, works great for me. A little on the pricey side, but it lasts a long time.
I didn’t have time to read all of the comments, so if some else pointed this out, I apologize. Several of these brands are owned by Colgate/Palmolive (e.g. Toms of Maine, Hello); Native and Schmidt’s are owned by Unilever; Old Spice is owned by Procter and Gamble, etc. Why this matters? Basically, the recommendations are just different products from the same brand. Some of these products are white labels. A simple search of forums on the internet will reveal a lot of allergies to the ingredients in these products suggesting that the products are neither hypoallergenic nor, good for sensitive skin. Not to broad brush all large companies, but some of these companies are straight up evil, saying one thing, but doing something else entirely. See Colgate Palmolive class action suit regarding Tom’s of Maine.
Thank you for sharing this idea
This was also highly rated by YUKA. Sanex Dermo Invisible Roll On Anti-Perspirant Deodorant. use it all the time and works great!
Recommending Desert Essence Lavender Tea Tree deodorant. I assume it’s the tea tree that completely neutralizes odors and the lavender is so mild that even my husband uses it. Plus, it comes in a paperboard cylinder, so it’s 100% plastic-free! Our whole family is on-board
We are thoroughly impressed with Desert Essence Lavender Tea Tree deodorant. I assume it’s the tea tree that completely neutralizes odors and the lavender is so mild that even my husband uses it. Plus, it comes in a paperboard cylinder, so it’s 100% plastic-free! Our whole family is on-board (husband works outdoors year-round and sweats a lot … no more odor!)
Would please do antiperspirants?
I don’t think any clean antiperspirants exist.
Our bodies are made to sweat and that function should never be blocked!
Hahahaa! Oh, some people need that smell to be blocked!🤷♀️😳🫢
Mary, Agreed! 😂
Gracias por tomarse el tiempo de hacer este pequeño estudio. Ojalá las diferentes empresas con diferentes productos hicieran esto para proteger la comunidad.
I tried Native which was expensive and did not work for me on armpit odor. Milk of magnesia seems to help keep odor at bay but it’s not very convenient to use. How do your choices do with odor?
After showering, pat underarms with apple cider vinegar and let dry before applying deodorant. Repeat everyday or every other day as needed (this has been a game changer for me!)

I love Hello. It worlds great and is priced better than the entire list provided here from YUKA. They also have a nice assortment of scents.
I’m a bit surprised the Crystal Stick deodorant did not make the cut.
Love humble deodorants
Are Dr Squatch’s other scented deodorants equally as safe as the scent you tested ?
No two types/scents will have the same score even from the same brand. I have scanned two similar items from the same brand and gotten very different scores!
Thank you, but I unsubscribed a long time ago. Your reccomendations have been very helpful.
Athena deodorant scanned excellent as well….I’ve been using that and works great!!!
I thought Native Products were bought out by someone else now and they don’t use the same ingredients??
I heard that too..
Do we have any reviews on Carpe?? It’s the only deodorant (at almost 35 years old) that has ever worked for me! I am a heavy sweater and with Carpe I can use once at night and it takes me through the whole next day without having to reapply for sweat or odor.
Daughter tried it and DID NOT like it.
Hi Julie,
I purchased humble from a local health food store, I’ve shelved it for the summer because it does not help with humidity. I’m in Southern California, we normally don’t have humidity like this, but it has been terrible of late, and humble does not work for humidity. I will wait till summer is over to retry it during the winter when humidity is way down or non-existent.
Love your app, Thanks much.
Where are the cream deodorants? There are sprays and stick deodorants that don’t work for some people, but the cream ones do. Dove cream, Herbissimo, and Rexona cream (I’m from Brazil) work really well for those who struggle with body odor.
Are there any anti perspirants without harmful ingredients? I sweat right through deodorants!
Athena works for wetness…no aluminum!!
Are any of these top 10 antiperspirants too? Being stink free is #2, but prefer not to sweat either. Thanks for testing them all!
Pure Pitz has been my favorite for years. Organic ingredients. Available through Purely Lisa, LLC. I put it on in the morning and it lasts all day.
Love the 1 one rated one, I used it but stain all your clothes.
These are great as long as you don’t need anti-perspiration! Living in FL I need someone that works on moisture as well.
I saw nothing about Speed Stick?
I use Arm & Hammer Essentials. Have to have a scented deodorant. It checks out on Yuka.
I use Arm & Hammer unscented. Checks out on Yuka too. 🙂
I use Arm & Hammer Essentials. Have to have a scented deodorant. It checks out on Yuka.
Would you be able to test BioTherm? That’s the only thing that have worked for me.
Are any of these spray. The only thing my husband wants
Godly Granny is a new co , uses the cleanest ingredients available, it’s made and packaged and sold in the US. They have quite a few products.
I have been looking for a deodorant/anti-perspirant for a long time. Is there anything out there that works and is not harmful?
I love humble, glad to see it rated #1, but it makes me stink. It’s so frustrating. Wish there was a happy medium with deodorant without aluminum that works and doesn’t make you stink.
Wondering what you think of Lumi. Nothing else works for me.
I am wondering what they think of Lume also. Surprised it wasn’t included in the testing.
Antiperspirants?
Here in the United States, there are products labeled just as deodorants and then products marked deodorant/anti-perspirant. I am always confused on this labeling and was wondering do these products fall in the anti-perspirant function.
I am not sure how they are different? Can you help?
a antiperspirant contains some kind of chemical that physically stops the sweat from coming out in the first place, however a lot of people tend to think it’s not good for you- to not sweat at all and keeps the toxins that are in your sweat in your body. a regular deodorant just prevents the sweat from smelling however you still sweat. only thing that sucks is if you tend to sweat and stink more the antiperspirant may only work. so recap:
antiperspirant-stops sweat completely, bad for you
regular deodorant- prevents your sweat from smelling bad, better for you
these better for you deodorants may not work if you tend to sweat or stink more :/
Going to look for some of these to try…
I only use gel or roll on . Any recommendations?
Would love to see recommendations for sunscreen products!
Did you look at the deodorant from “Green Tidings”?
We use Papatui and it works very well, ranks 85/100 on app
I’ll have to give same of these a try. I sweat quite a bit when I workout and I’m in a keto diet so I get the “meat sweats”. I’ve tried TOMS, Mando, and Lume and Native but none of them work.
Love all the helpful information you offer. I take them to heart and switch to much better products. Thank you for your site.
My tween, teen, and I use Primal Life Organics White Coconut. It works really well and scores 98/100. Before we started using it my kids were so smelly, but now as long as they wear deodorant they don’t stink and armpit sweat in the summer is no longer an issue.
Non flavored milk of magnesia Phillips leaves no residue, keeps you dry for over 12 hours, non intrusive chemicals and very cheap. Place a bit of the milk in a tissue and cover your armpits. Wait a few minutes and expect to remain dry for hours.
You really should have Little Seed Farm on this list. I have tried all the natural deodorants. Even tried making my own. LSF is the best and works for days. Even through the perimenopausal sweats that used to make me smell like my teenager.
Billie deodorant, is great for me and no itching like others. No yeast infection. YAY
Wish they were rated for men and women
Thank you so much for letting everyone know.
I appreciate all that you do.
Little Seed Farm didn’t make the list?
It should have! They truly are the best
Thanks for this! I would love Simeon to also review them and rate how well they work along with the ingredients being safe.
This was great! However do they keep u from perspiring. I would like to see comments from consumers if these natural deodorants really work. I’ve used the Native but feel it didn’t really do its job.
Unfortunately most don’t stop you from perspiring because they don’t have an anti perspirant (I believe). These are solely to stop body odor
I have been using Dove contains NO aluminum, scent is Cucumber & Green Tea.
It works great even if I work outside in my yard. No smelly armpits.. lol
Thank you so much for this! N
I didn’t like humble and they sell it at tj maxx
I enjoy this app. I was curious if you knew of or tested Lume?
I am curious as well. We, as a family have tried all the alternatives over many years and Lume is the best
Amazing. Never heard of these Top Deodorants except for Toms of Maine and none of these are available at my stores
I’m a sweaty gal who’s pretty active and used to use Dove before switching to better-for-you brands. I’ve tried several off this list, but I’ve found that Hello Coconut works best for me. Keeps me pretty dry and has a great subtle scent that masks odors.
Did you look at Lume? I find it to be the only one to tackle older lady orders?!!
Mendy, have you tried persimmon soaps? Persimmon soap neutralizes stubborn body odors—including hormonal smells and “nonenal” (aging odor)—by breaking down odor molecules at the source. It provides gentle, antibacterial cleansing that moisturizes without stripping the skin’s natural oils, and often contains soothing antioxidants. Amazon has it if you can’t find it at your local stores.
What about Fragrances and aluminum?
Love the Yuka app!
Do you have a rating for No Tox Life Deodorant
(Solid silk) (Desert Rose/Citrus) scent? I love it.
I love Tom’s unscented deodorant! It’s been the best for me so far.
I have never been a person who perspires much & I have tried 8 of the deodorants on the list & none of them worked for me. I understand a natural deodorant is not an antiperspirant but they did not prevent the smell at all & possible made it worse.
I like the ones that contain magnesium but I definitely have to apply these 3x per day. Clear ones also seem to not work as well.
Do you have any roll on deodorants?
Interesting article and info but Old Spice has kept me from smelling for more than 30 years.
How about Almaty?
I appreciate this information. Thank you. Use your app alot before I buy a product.
I understand they rank high, but do any of them actually keep you from smelling?
I’ve never used unscented but Native works for me.
I’ve had no luck with a few of these stopping odor until I tried Tom’s. It works well. I’ve also recently added Dial antibacterial soap to my routine for pits & really feel good and clean. No problems whatsoever with odor (and I golf in this heat!)
Yuka is the BEST to keep us in the USA healthy.
We thank you.
I use it in Europe too, works great
This is so upsetting to me because Dr. Teel’s aluminum free deodorant with magnesium and eucalyptus when I scan it on your app it says 93 out of 100 and gets an excellent but when I do a search, it comes in as bad seven out of 100 what gives?
Is there a reason why the LUME brand is not on the list?
Excellent!!! I scan deodorant, hairspray, etc.. Great info!!!!
Wow…..great list!!! I am going to change my deodorant now. I will have to see which brand CVS carries, Patty J
Thanks. Was looking for a new and clean deodorant and anti persperant
I have found that anti-perspirant ‘s work better to stop the odor. I honestly tried one of the non-aluminum deodorant brands and unfortunately the smell was worst. Sorry
I would like to add the crystals deodorant is always perfect – it works incredible – even on these hot days- works ALL day long
Great List – thank you for all you do!!
However, what about crystals deodorant? Its hard like a rock – no aluminum
LOVE Crystals, & lasts forever.
Every 3 or 4 months – when the odor control drops a bit – I switch to mitchum for a bit and then go back to Crystal’s and it’s works perfectly.
About anti-perspiration formulas or are these just deodorant to keep down the smell?
Thank you for this information I have been looking for a deodorant that is safe and works. I am currently on my third deodorant this year.
Thank you for the list. I also love the 365 Whole Foods Market Cypress Cedar stick. It’s super gentle on the skin.
It’s rude to make a marketing pitch. Have some class!
Why are you being mean? Other people mentioned other brands too.
Awesome 👌
Recently bought the Toms deodorant and offered to share with my husband when he ran out if his antiperspirant. He has been a Gillette antiperspirant loyalist for years. He commented that it is very greasy feeling to him. Are there any men on here that would recommend one of these deodorants from the Yuka list that I could get for him?
Sorry, I should clarify that he thinks that the Toms deodorant feels greasy, not the Gillette.
Dr Squatch is not greasy but its deodorant and not antiperspirant.
I use Dr Squatch and Native and they both work well for me. Keep in mind if switching from one with aluminum to one without, it will take a week or two for your pours to fully clear out the aluminum. So, may still smell for a week or two. But once that’s done they work extremely well and I have no more odor issues. Been using one or the other of these two several years now.
I follow all the studies you conduct on products and i’m advising every person i know to download the app. Can we get a study on the spray deodorant for men and women?
Thank you!
I thought I’d give NATIVE a try. Love the fragrance (Sea Salt & Cedar) but it didn’t last but maybe 6 hours. The heat has been relentless this summer. But I will keep shopping for a deodorant that lasts a full day.
I have been following your recommendations for a while now and I really appreciate your ap
However it would be nice if you could include environmental impact of the products, like the use of plastic in the container
Thank you
we need to send more donations and spread the word for more studies I”m sure!Anyone within my reach at the grocery store gets an explanation of YUKA!!
Thank you. I just recently bought native not knowing it was this good!
Thank you
I use the Squatch “Fresh Falls” deodorant. The reason is because of your Yuka App. Thank you. I’m going to look for the one on top of this list. “Simply Unscented” Humble.
So what if l work are which deodorant is perfect working out and still not experiencing bad smells during your workout
Hello. This is an excellent study. I’ve bought Native spray deodorant for my daughter. Everything is fine except it doesn’t hold the sweat and she starts to sweat after 2-3 hours of work. Then she has to reapply and so on. Dove , spray deodorant is not so healthy but keeps her underarms under control pretty whole day.
What great information I will be switching my deodorant now I look forward to more great tips
I have been using LUME for a couple of years and it wasn’t on your list. It works fine on me. Did you test this one?
It’s been tested and came in at 74- “good” depending on which type you use.
It’s the one that’s been consistently working for me for years.
Sad not to see Curie on your list. It is aluminum free. I know one of your criteria is the effects on the environment ( how the ingredients are harvested and how the product is manufactured) which is important to me. But I’ve reached out to that company and feel their explanation satisfied me enough that it is my deodorant of choice.
As for the cost, just like with food costs, so many things that are better for us just cost more. Many of the cheaper products have ingredients that are either not healthy for us or are more harmful to the environment in their production.
Thank you so much to l share a really good deodorant sometime I don’t know what to get to you so much
Does a deodorant have to be unscented to make this list. I use a native deodorant but it has a scent.
It is a never-ending battle to find high performance without using plastics.
$13 for deodorant?
Wondering if Wild was included in the research? Recently switched to that after trying some of these, I find it’s one of the best for odor elimination and cuts down on the plastic as well.
Nothing against the listed deodorants! I’ve used regular Secret for years, after a bath, shower! I never had to use it only 2/3x in a week bcuz I don’t have any underarm odor, sweating is normal! My mom was the same, she passed at 94, I’m now retired!! It’s still working for me! Thanks for your service!!🤗👍🏻
I’ve been using Native Unsented for 5 weeks. I’m very satisfied. The price is too high, but it’s worth it.
Just a note of caution for those on coumadin like me…be cautious using products with coconut and its derivatives as it can affect your INR levels and cause problems. I found out the hard way.
Antiperspirants use aluminum compounds to block sweat glands and reduce wetness. Deodorants do not stop sweat.
I’m allergic to linalool but it is often hidden in ingredients like parfum or fragrance. I would love to see a list of deodorants that are truly linalool free. Also I’ve tried some of these and they make that underarms itchy after a while, I think it may be the acids. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.
Try Source Vital deodorants. I’ce used them for years and find them highly effective.
I had the same issue until I switched around. It took me a while to find something that worked for me. Maybe it works for you too? I use the 365 by Whole Foods Market. They have a few options, including unscented. But what I use now is the Cypress Cedar. They’re all aluminum-free and paraben-free and they feel really nice on the skin. No more itch!!!
Help!! Can we cut to the chase and find a deodorant that makes you smell fresh and and doesn’t leave skids on your clothes??? I’m saddened at all the hype of products that don’t work. Someone please find a fresh arm pit scent. Hopefully something that isn’t killing is as well!
Actually, I don’t see the one that I think is one of the better ones and that’s ALO. It’s not sticky and it seems to do the trick.
Sorry but I found Native failed me. I felt I smelled though I bathe twice daily. I’m sorry I bought so much of it…. And I have started using my husbands Gillette clear.
Did you detox your pits first? I used coconut oil for a few weeks only. No deodorant (during Covid, wasn’t leaving the house). I suggest doing this on days when you are not leaving the house. Coconut (raw, cold pressed) will pull the other substances that are just laying immediately under your skin out and give you a fresh start.
I used Native several years ago and it made me have an order that was worst than a musty smell. I stopped using it and gave the unused container away. I hope they have improved their formula.
The Tom’s are the best protection against the hot days! I use for years and lots of people ask me about the smell !!! Recommend…..
Thanks for a great information
I e tried a couple of those and they don’t work at all and some them have sold out to big corporations
Thank you very much for your research and compiling this list. I just ran out of deodorant and wanted to try a safe effective brand. Always use my Yuka app when shopping,🙌🏻😀.
EETE (Everything Touches Everything Else) out of Canada has a wonderful cream deodorant in a glass jar that I just love. It works so well & is really easy to use.
I LOVE Yuka and use it for everything. BUT this is a tough one because some of us NEED a really strong deodorant. Which ones that are VERY effective at neutralizing odor are the safest!?
Thank you!!!! Love you for keeping us safe from chemicals🙏❤️
What about Doterra’s deodorants?
Thank you Julie. I use my Yuka app every time I shop no matter where I go. Best app ever!! Saves me money as well.
But do they work?
I love Yuka!
I use Hello & it works great!
I use Tom’s…the worst rated and it works great!
Are any of these also anti-perspirants?
Thank you for the information. I use Yuka every where I go, love you guys!
I replied to the original email. Have you guys looked at PiperWai deodorant?
But are they EFFECTIVE?
Super
Mine is one of them as when I buy anything I ALWAYS use Yuka to check if it is good or bad
Yuka is the best app I have and the best app on the market. Everybody should use it
It’s a MUST
Same. But until now I have only used the app on food items. Thanks for the wake up call. ☎️
I’ve tried some of these and they make me break out. I learned it was the baking soda that caused it. Be aware!
Thanks for the information
Thank you. I love this. Mine made the list. I chose well. Thank you for letting me know.
Awesome! Thanks so much for this list!
Thai crystal deodorant stick that I found in Whole Foods. WORKS GREAT & lasts forever! Potassium alum sourced from Thailand but MADE in USA. Wet with water after showering & use on any body part. Had breast cancer so must be careful. Simple ingredients and works naturally to prevent growth OF ODOR CAUSING BACTERIA & doesn’t stain clothing.
I use Schmidt’s after purya apitz no longer sells their deodorant.
I sweat a lot and I have to add baking soda to eliminate any odor.
Thanks Julie….this email prompted me to check my deodorant.
It’s Desert Essence…the Yuka app rated it 91 out of 100….yay!
I live in a very rural area if Upstate NY and I try to support our local Nature’s Storehouse…good to know they have great products.
Veigh
I thought Tom’s was just flagged for having toxic minerals??? Maybe the toothpaste???
That’s very helpful! I appreciate the knowledge. Are they strong though? Because unfortunately, I”m still having to use segret- that I Do Not want to use but it is the only one I’ve found that works for me.
Have you tried PiperWai? It’s all natural, from charcoal, and it works for me. I’ve been using it for a few years now.
Not sure why Lume isn’t on this list. It’s the only “natural” type of deodorant that works for me and I’ve tried at least 5 others. Most leave an oily residue on my clothes and ruins them. Been using Lume for 3 years.
I agree. I use Lume. Most other natural deodorants simply don’t work for me but Lume does.
I use Lume as well. Others did not work for me, although I do like the Crystal stick and use is occasionally as well.
Ran out of anti-persperant so I used the deodorant I had on hand. I was shocked to find I sweat less! No joke. Found Tom’s, works for me, glad. I may try some of these others.
What about Nubian Heritage? That is my favorite one right now.
Effectiveness is important. How are they rated for that?
I have a few of them a Native by far was the best!
Native is not considered “clean” anymore
I’m surprised you left HiBAR off the list.
It’s vegan, toxin free, and is plastic free so it’s good for the environment and your health !
I have not found one that controls BO yet! Sorry! And they’re all so expensive!
Curious if you checked out Life Stinks by Duggan Sisters?
I’ve been using Beekman 1802 deodorant for a few years.It is great!
I’m glad Native is on the list. I’ve been using it for a while and really love it. I like that it works really well and has several fragrances to choose from:
They’re all deodorant, don’t see any antiperspirants listed. This just covers the sweat smell instead of
Helping to prevent the sweat/odor
Native is not as hypoallergenic as you are led to believe. It caused a severe rash after 3 days of use. The dermatologist said many patients have had similar reactions within the past year.
I love your APP. The best feature is the recommendations section. I am not married to any particular brand or product. Finding a safer product that is basically the same thing helps me be healthier. I switched to the Native products because of this. Thanks!!
It’s great that you share the ingredients or components in the deodorant, but it tells us nothing if the deodorant works to keep the odor away.
I much prefer a salt block
