Natural Deodorants- do they pass the sniff test?

3 February, 2024 - 01:55pm by - BR-Queenie | 150 Comments

 

Let's talk about something we all deal with – the quest for the perfect deodorant. The supermarket shelves are lined with a mind-boggling array of options, all promising to keep us fresh and dry, but have you ever considered making the switch to natural deodorants?                                          

When we’re talking about the scent game,  natural deodorants don't just mask odours; they tackle them head-on with the power of nature. Think lavender, tea tree, or eucalyptus oils – the kind of aromas that make you feel like you're strolling through a serene garden, waving goodbye to those overpowering artificial fragrances that make you cringe every time you catch a whiff of your underarms.

One of the most fantastic perks? The reduction of skin irritation. You're not alone if you've ever experienced redness, itching, or rashes after using a traditional deodorant. Natural deodorants are designed with sensitive skin in mind. The absence of harsh chemicals means you can bid farewell to those uncomfortable reactions and embrace a gentler, more soothing deodorizing experience. 

For environmentally-conscious souls out there, natural deodorants are a dream come true. Many brands package their products in eco-friendly materials, cutting down on plastic waste and contributing to a healthier planet. So, every time you swipe on that natural deodorant, you're not just doing yourself a favour – you're giving Mother Earth a high-five too.

Let's not forget the crucial point – the fight against body odour. Natural deodorants are up to the challenge, armed with antibacterial properties that combat the bacteria responsible for those less-than-pleasant smells. But we know what you might be thinking – do natural deodorants stand the test of a sweaty workout or a hectic day at the office? Absolutely! Many natural deodorants are formulated to keep you feeling fresh and dry, even in the face of adversity. They might not have the industrial-strength chemicals of their conventional counterparts, but they hold their own in the battle against sweat.

 But of course, we’re not going to take the brand’s word for it for any of this, we’re going to put it to the test. A’Kin is a brand that has been at the forefront of natural beauty product development for over 35 years. They’ve just released a range of roll-on deodorants in three mouthwatering fragrances:

-Lime and Orange

-Rose and Mint

- Geranium and Wood

All variants provide 24-hour protection against odour, leave no white marks on your clothes, are 100% vegan, and use 100% recycled packaging. 

So if this sounds like you and you’d like to be part of this trial team, comment below letting us know your thoughts on natural deodorants and what fragrance you’d like to choose if you’re selected.

After just having recovered from a rash under my arm pit (the heat exacerbates things of course), I am ready and super keen to try this new A'Kin De-odorant. When these more natural de-odorants first came out they (some companies) put them in nice looking cardboard, to be eco conscious - but the problem was these cardboard packets were awful to actually use. I love the look of these eco conscious plastic containers. If I had a choice I would want to try Lime and Orange by far the most, second to that would be Rose and Mint. I am concerned about the chemicals we put on our bodies, and in turn, into the environment. I fully support companies who are doing the right thing by the planet and the right things by our bodies. We only get one (of each of them!) so it's worth taking time to think about how our individual purchasing power affects the big picture too. I really hope this is as awesome as it sounds.

I've tried other natural deodorants in the past and was pleasantly surprised by how good they were so I'd love to try the A'kin ones, preferably the Geranium & Wood one as that sounds like my kind of fragrance

7th February, 2024

I would like to be apart of this trial as I have not used any natural products before. This deodorant sounds like a game changer. I sometimes get ichy in my arm pits, which sounds not so great but it's a reality so very conscious of what I use.

I am gutted I was chosen but missed out again. congrats to the lucky ones

7th February, 2024

I've used a few natural deodorants before, but none have provided 24hr protection against odour. I'd love to give A'kin's Rose & Mint a try, and compare it to others I've used in the past.

7th February, 2024

I think Rose and Mint sounds like a really nice scent! I have used natural deodorants before, because not having white marks on clothing is an eternal quest of mine! Some definitely work better than others. I have never used any products from A'kin before and would be really keen to try out this deodorant!

I would be interested in trying. I struggle to find a deodorant that lasts (perimenopause) and also that doesn’t dry my skin and make me itch.

7th February, 2024

I would love to try the Rose and Mint deodorant, love these scents.

7th February, 2024

I’d love to try Lime & Orange. Natural deodorant’s don’t always mask odour and it’s hard to find one that fits what I need. It would be great to give it a go.

6th February, 2024

Yes please I have been looking for a natural deo that actually works would love to give it a try and see how it works

6th February, 2024

I’m all for natural products so would love to try out a natural deodorant.

6th February, 2024

Would be kinda interested, but kinda scared to try this. Hope it’s not a flop. I love their face moisturisers!

6th February, 2024

I am intrigued to try a natural deodorant. And a product that lasts 24 hours and leaves no white marks. Rose and mint fragrance sounds amazing.

6th February, 2024

I have never tired natural deodorants before but would love to! I've been finding lately that I feel super gross after putting on my roll on, especially when it's already hot, so I just end up feeling like I've got super sweaty armpits. Orange and Lime sounds devine!

6th February, 2024

Absolutely love to try a natural deodorant as my skin under my arms is very sensitive so I try not to use any deodorant if possible. When I'm playing a hard tennis game, I do need to use a deodorant which sometimes gives me a prickly rash. Love to try the A'kin Geranium and Wood please.
