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.
Natural deodorants are free from artificial fragrance and aluminium (not the same as natural alum which is okay) and sold in zero waste packaging, free from animal ingredients.
To prevent body odour, take a daily shower and wear loose breathable fabrics like cotton, linen or hemp. Drink plenty of water to flush out toxins and eat a balanced diet (go easy on foods that trigger body odour like spicy meals, garlic and onion).

Everything is also made to order, so there’s no waste. These are made from a blend of coconut oil and shea butter (not for latex allergies), mango butter and plant wax.

Awake Organics (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.
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.
