Parting with your favorite deodorant, the one you finally found after years and years of trial and error, can feel downright unbearable. But once you realize its aluminum-based active ingredients are linked to both Alzheimer’s disease and breast cancer, the decision to switch to an all-natural option seems like a no-brainer. (And even if your risk ends up being pretty low, the full safety of natural deodorant means you don’t even have to worry about it.)

However, the struggle with natural deodorants is that the majority of them simply don’t work as well as their mass-produced counterparts. So we curated a list of eight amazing natural deodorant options that do hold up their end of the bargain and get the BO-eliminating job done. Just don’t forget that they are truly deodorants, not antiperspirants. You will still sweat — others around you just might not notice.

1. Herban Cowboy Deodorant — $7.99

This vegan option goes on clear so you don’t have to worry about any unwanted streaks on the sides of your clothes. It’s also easily available at Whole Foods. (We recommend the blossom scent!)

2. Schmidt’s Natural Deodorant — $8.99

Not only is Schmidt’s an award winner for its solid protection against odor, but it also does a better job than most natural deodorants in absorbing wetness thanks to its particular mineral makeup. Plus, there are so many awesome scent options, you’ll likely struggle to choose just one.

3. Pure Pitz Organic Deodorant — $15

We know, the name is a little off-putting, but hear us out. This tiny little stick has some seriously concentrated power. You only have to use a dab to see exceptional results, so the $15 purchase can actually go a long way.

4. Ursa Major Hoppin’ Fresh Deodorant — $18

Hoppin’ Fresh lives up to its name — it feels nice and cool upon application, and it provides unscented protection all day long. It veers toward the pricier side of natural deodorant options, but it will last you approximately four months.

5. Agent Nateur Deodorant — $26

Alright, we’re getting fancier here, but this stuff is amazing if you decide to splurge on your personal health. The Shiva Rose scent is by far the most popular (and sells out quickly). It’s one of the natural options that doesn’t use baking soda for BO relief, so it’s perfect for sensitive skin.

6. Malin + Goetz Eucalyptus Deodorant — $22

These guys are veterans of the natural beauty care market, but their eucalyptus deodorant is keeping them on the cutting edge. This option is both alcohol- and aluminum-free, and goes on clean. If you love the smell of citronella candles in the summertime, this one’s for you.

7. Lavanila The Healthy Deodorant — $14


Lavanila gives the feeling of luxury at almost half the price. It’s vegan, paraben free and aluminum free, and it nourishes your skin as much as it protects you from unwanted odor. Plus, there’s a nice variety of fun, fresh scents to choose from.

8. Meow Meow Tweet Deodorant Cream — $8-14

Now, we’re partial to stick deodorant over cream pots for easy application reasons, but this one had to make the list. It comes in lavender and tea tree scent, both of which leave you feeling fresh, and they sell mini sizes in case you want to try the product before really committing. Why not?

Hopefully, you’re feeling inspired to give natural deodorant a try (or another go-round depending on your previous experience). It’s the best choice for your body, and many of these are nice to your wallet too. Win-win.
