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.

I’ve been using natural deodorants for about 5 years now. I was using an epic NZ natural deo but sadly the business closed and I have been on a hunt for another product. I’d be super keen to trial the lime & orange or even the Rose & Mint.

i would love to try the rose deodorant love to see if this natural one actually works!

5th February, 2024

quite frankly most natural deodorants don’t often work and end up not helping smell fresh so I am totally down to try one that may actually work as deodorants have so much bad stuff in them!

I have been a fan of natural deodorants as I like to avoid aluminium containing perspirant/deodorants where possible as it has been linked with cancer before. I would love to try this A'kin deodorant as love the scents of the products for this brand especially the 'lime and orange' fragrance

5th February, 2024

I’ve tried a crystal deodorant before but it didn’t work too well! I’d love to give this one a go - it seems more similar to my usual deodorant. I’d try the geranium and wood scent!

5th February, 2024

I love the brand A'Kin and have tried their skincare in the past. I love that they have a natural range of deodorant because I am mindful of chemicals more these days and try to use natural products when I can. I would love to try the geranium and wood first and then the rose and mint!! Please pick me!!

I've always loved the idea of natural deodorants, but never tried them, unconvinced that they could actually be effective. I'd be delighted to find one that really worked! My skin can get quite irritated by normal deodorants (even the 'sensitive ones), and of course, like most people, I like to minimise my use of chemicals wherever possible. I'd particularly love to try the geranium and wood fragrance. Sounds delicious :)

A natural Deoderant that doesn’t irritate my skin would be fantastic. I’ve had issues in the past with other ‘natural’ brands but this could be a winner. Lime and orange sounds like a great smelling combo!

5th February, 2024

I would definitely be keen to give this a good go. So far - I've only found one regular roll-on (not the clinical protection kind) that actually works and I've been using it for 10+ years.

5th February, 2024

I'm on the hunt currently for a natural deodorant that actually works. I haven't found one yet, but I love the sound of the lime and orange one. The fact that they protect against odor is the biggest thing for me.

5th February, 2024

I have had mixed results from natural deodorants, from red armpits using a Lush one a long time ago to ones that mix with sweat and just end up smelling like sweaty flowers, or creams that made my armpit feel like an awful lubricated mess. Tried a Native travel size my friend got in the US and it really worked well and smelled nice. I'd probably like the rose and mint or the geranium and wood. It would be nice to find one that's easy to get here that works.

I am so keen to try this deodorant. I’ve heard great things about it and even went to try and buy one today, but they had sold out. I’m curious to see if it provides the protection that my regular deodorant does; I’d love to cut down on the chemical I apply to body.

5th February, 2024

I've always been wary of trying natural deodorants - I'm just not sure they'll do what they'll need to! But would be keen to give the Orange and Lime one a go - it sounds very tempting am as a fragrance!

5th February, 2024

I’ve never tried a natural deodorant before but I like the idea of more environmentally friendly packaging. I have sensitive skin under my armpits so I feel like this would be interesting to try to see if it’s less irritating. I wouldn’t be phased on what scent I got as they all sound quite nice.

5th February, 2024

My preference is a natural deoderant but I have found it hard to find a good one at a reasonable price. Many years ago, I used a "crystal" deoderant....I persevered for a few months but when summer came round, it wasn't really working for me and I was a bit whiffy!! Id love to give this deoderant a test drive. Lime and orange sound refreshing
