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.

I'm a HUGE fan of natural deodorants. I think it's very important to use no aluminium under the arms especially as its so close to the lymphatic system. I do however struggle to find a natural deodorant that lasts and helps with the underarm sweat. I'd absolutely love to trial any of these but would give Geranium and Wood a try please!

6th February, 2024

I would love to use a natural deodorant but the ones I have tried so far don't last the whole day. I would love to give the geranium & wood one a go and see if I can finally make a permanent switch to a natural deodorant.

I use Schmidts natural deodorant 5 days a week and Dove with aluminium on the days I go in to work in a uniform. Natural deodorants do work well and the scents can be amazing at counteracting any odour - the biggest down side for me is the white marks that come off the stick variety which puts me off when I’m wearing dark T shirts. The Akin one sounds perfect with its claim not to mark and I’d be very keen to try the lime & orange.

I would love to try the Geranium and Wood...I work full time and mum for 2 and I workout 3 times a week, certainly I need a natural deodorant to keep me fresh for the day....

The lime and orange fragrance sounds so nice! I love being able to find a good natural deodorant to use. I’ve tried paste as well but prefer being able to find a good natural roll on for ease and convenience.

I would love to try this. I have never tried natural deodorant due to fear that I would stink! I work in a gym so need deodorant to work well. I am very interested to see if this can stand up to my demanding lifestyle

6th February, 2024

Right now I am switching all our household products to natural products and this would be perfect to try. The no aluminum is a must for me and no white marks would great. I would love to try the lime and orange fragrance.

Natural deodorants are my obsession. I try every natural deodarant that comes on the market. I always have my favourite Dr Hauschka Rose deodorant but the price is a lot! Also the weleda rose deodorant is always on hand for top up during the day. I would love to try A’kin as I already use their skin care and would love to see how their deodarants perform and compare. I will be looking forward to seeing them come out.

I've tried natural deodorants before some good some bad. I would love to try the Geranium and wood please.

6th February, 2024

I switched to natural deodorants a year or so ago, with varying success. Currently I’m using a homemade one as I ran out. I’ve never used Akin but would be keen to try - the orange & lime or either of the other fragrances.

6th February, 2024

i would love to try the Geranium and Wood deodorant and test out if natural no aluminum deodorants really work.

5th February, 2024

Would love to try the like and orange sound Devine. I love a natural deodorant and would be interesting to see if it holds up for the day. Nothing worse than it wearing off and being a sweaty mess I would be interested to try.

5th February, 2024

I have tried a natural deodorant before, not this brand though - it was Weleda and a citrusy fragrance, which was nice. I’d definitely like to give this brand a go, especially as I’ve used a natural deodorant before and been pleasantly surprised by its effectiveness. If I could trial this product, I’d love to give the Geranium and Wood fragrance a go.

5th February, 2024

If it's natural I'd definitely give it a go! Tried a few other natural brands but they have always been a huge let down. Lime and orange would be my pick. Would love to put this one to the test. :)

5th February, 2024

Hmm, I don’t know, haven’t tried them before. Can the handle the sweat and stop the smell???!!! It’s a blimin hot summer…. Would love to try the lime one

Yes I tried natural deodorants years ago and it was the white marks that put me off.
