Going Au Natural: Our Fave Natural Deodorants to Stock Up On:
The past few weeks I have had several women all tell me the same thing that they switched up in their beauty regime throughout quarantine — their deodorant! For some reason, I too, made this change after being told about The Clean Deo by Beauty Counter, and have never looked back. I feel better about myself knowing I am not basting aluminum onto my pits and the whole process definitely feels more natural.
Forewarning - if you do switch - your armpits need a grace period to adjust. Being in quarantine was a great time to try (sorry Ry), but am happier now that my body has adjusted.
Here are some of our personal faves below:
1 Megababe: Rosy Pits Daily Deodorant
This deodorant is free of any aluminum, alcohol and other common irritants, so it’s great for all skin types. I love the composition of ingredients - sage, green tea and cornstarch actively work to prevent odor bacteria from forming on the skin, and it smells so yummy due to the rose scent. Light and not overpowering.
Price: $18
This one is composed of ingredients such as mandelic and lactic acids that help to neutralize odors, while Silica, Zinc and Kaolin clay keep your armpits feeling dry and fresh.
Price: $20
3 Native Deodorant in Coconut and Vanilla
You can’t go wrong with this deodorant; it’s a staple and the one I hear the most comments on. This product is extremely gentle, so if you have sensitive skin, this is another one for you.
My favorite two ingredients are the Coconut Oil and Shea Butter, super nourishing for the skin. This deodorant comes in all different scents, so if Coconut and Vanilla isn’t for you, you have more options to choose from.
Price: $12
4 Beauty Counter: The Clean Deo
I think this is the best natural deodorant to combat sweat. It genuinely absorbs any perspiration, leaving my underarms fresh all day. I also love that it leaves zero residue, with the most delicious smell of blended tropical coconuts, sandalwood and sweet vanilla.
Price: $28
Not only is this a deodorant, but it also works as an exfoliator to smooth the skin under your underarms and help combat ingrown hairs. Its key ingredients are Hyaluronic Acid, Aloe Vera, Lactic Acid, and Mandelic Acid.
Price: $15
This is an all-natural vegan and cruelty free deodorant. It provides instant cooling comfort and glides on completely clear for invisible odor protection. Peppermint, bergamot and rosemary keeps you smelling fresh. Kaolin Clay draws out impurities and Moringa purifies and deep cleans, thanks to its antibacterial properties, while Tea Tree oil helps neutralize odors.
