The Best Brands of Natural Vegan Deodorants

Salt of the Earth (Hampshire) is a one-ingredient natural deodorant, made in a factory run on clean energy, that so far has saved over 500,000 plastic bottles from landfill.

This natural crystal deodorant only contains potassium alum (not aluminium) and nothing else. Just apply to damp skin after washing, and dry after use. May mark some household surfaces, marble and natural stone.

The natural deodorant is sold with refills (we only recommend the unscented version, as the scented versions contain fragrance oil). Made with moisturising shea butter and coconut oil, just buy cardboard refills thereafter.

Choose unscented deodorants for pregnancy/nursing and affected medical conditions. Avoid shea butter for latex allergies. 

How to Prevent Body Odour

• A daily shower makes it harder for bacteria to flourish.
• Wear loose breathable fabrics like cotton, linen or bamboo.
• Drink plenty of water, to flush out toxins.
• Eat a balanced diet (go easy on foods that trigger strong body odours like spicy meals, garlic and onions).

Pit Putty (natural ‘stink-proof’ Deodorants!)

Pit Putty was founded by friends, after finding a fellow friend had breast cancer, and had been told that using natural toiletries was beneficial. In fragrance-free or natural scents, these are sold in cardboard tubes or tins, made from shea butter, coconut oil, baking soda, plant waxes and oils, with arrowroot powder.

These were invented in Australia, being ‘stink-tested’ to ensure they work in many temperatures and situations! The mild alkaline reacts with acid from bacteria, to stop body odour in its tracks.

Awake Organics (natural deodorants in metal tins)

Awake Organics Star Cloud is an unscented natural deodorant, that works. Rather than relying on baking soda, it uses arrowroot (prebiotic food for good bacteria) and non-live vegan probiotics to create the right PH for a balm-to-powder deodorant to prevent odour.

If you prefer scent, choose Space Cat (sweet orange, rosemary, rose geranium) or Cedar Ridge, a men’s deodorant scented with cedar and black pepper.

Earth Conscious Bare Bar (natural deodorant)
