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 am always a bit suspicious if natural deodorants actually work, so never buy them. Would love to be part of this A'kin trial to see if Rose and mint go together at all.

Geranium and wood. Deodorant has to do it's job, no white marks and be kind to my skin. I've not tried natural deodorants.

I have only ever tired 1 natural deoderant and was put off by the smell. The fragrance was lime and it wasn't a fragrance that went well after a workout or that you would wear on a hot day. These fragrance combos actually sound great and are tried/tested. I would love to try these to test the claim of 24 hours protection. I love the idea of the recyclable packing. Would love to try Geranium and Wood please.

I have solely been using natural deodorants for at least 8 years and I will never go back. I dont itch, or sweat and stink of the deodorant I applied. Natural deodorant has stopped all irritation and stickiness, and kept me fresh and non sweaty all day - lifechanging

Ive tried natural deoderants but most dont smell very nuce or uust smell weird, they dont last long or feel like they are still working. I would really live to try the lime and orange one it sound refreshing and clean..

5th February, 2024

I would love to trial a natural deodorant, any natural ones I have tried have not worked very well. They all sound great and no white marks would be great especially in summer nothing worse than white marks on your singlet! Lime and orange sounds nice.

5th February, 2024

I haven’t tried a natural deodorant like this in a while so this trial sounds right up my alley! I wear black most of the time and absolutely hate having white marks on my clothes. I also feel like this is the perfect time to try it out in this super weird weather! I’d love to try the rose and mint scent.

Currently using mitchim as I tend to sweat more with hot flushes. Would love to see if a natural product can do the job

The only natural deodorant that has ever worked me me really well is the one from Weleda I wonder if if the lime and orange will smell like the green Weleda deo....I hope so! The geranium and wood I think would be really nice too. I try and use natural deo most of the time unless I can not find the Weleda one in stock, others I have tried have just not worked well for me and I'm not a smelly person but I have tried some that have somehow made me smell funky or most of the scents arr floral rose that I just dont really like. Deo has come a long way!

No white marks? That already sounds like a dream! I wear black 99.99% of the time and the amount of times I get white marks from my deodorant on them is infuriating, and it's such a bonus that this brand clearly cares about the planet, I fully support recycled packaging and do my best to only use vegan products. I'm so excited to learn about this brand, I feel like the lime and orange scent would be my first pick but they all sound delightful.

I love the A'kin products I've been using them for about 15 years they're one of my favourite natural brands. I feel so excited to have the chance to try the new deodorants they sound divine, especially without toxic chemicals and aluminum. I only ever use natural products and I'd love to try this in Rose mint it sounds so refreshing

5th February, 2024

I only use natural deodorants because I'm allergic to the aluminum used in some formulas, so I'm always excited to find a new option to try! I'd love to put these to the test to see if they can beat my current brand, and would love to try the rose and mint scent!

5th February, 2024

I would love to try rose and mint or lime and orange. I've tried natural deodorants before and had no luck so I'd be stoked to find one that works well

5th February, 2024

I feel like I have tried almost every natural deodorant on the market in NZ and have only found one that works and doesn't make a mess of my clothes. I can't seem to find it in the shops at the moment so I am back on the hunt for my new go to natural deo. Very keen to try this in either rose and mint or lime and orange.

5th February, 2024

Would love to try the Geranium and Wood, i have used natural deodorants and some work well and others not so good.
