Natural deodorant vs. antiperspirant

Antiperspirants use aluminum compounds to reduce how much you sweat. Deodorants do not stop sweat; they target odor. Every deodorant in this collection is aluminum-free, so expect to sweat normally while staying fresher. Read our guides to switching to natural deodorant and aluminum-free deodorant for the full picture.

Switching tips

  • Give it two to four weeks. Many people notice more odor at first, then it settles.
  • Apply to clean, completely dry skin, and reapply after a workout if needed.
  • If baking soda irritates you, choose a baking-soda-free or sensitive formula and check the ingredient list on each page.
  • The Come Alive Herbals Underarm Detox Mask is an optional extra some people use while switching.

Questions

What is the difference between natural deodorant and antiperspirant?

Antiperspirants use aluminum compounds to reduce sweating. Natural deodorants are aluminum-free and work on odor instead, so you will still sweat.

Why do I smell more after switching to natural deodorant?

Many people notice more odor for the first couple of weeks after stopping antiperspirant. It usually settles. Applying to clean, dry skin and reapplying midday helps in the meantime.

Is natural deodorant safe for sensitive skin?

Some formulas contain baking soda or essential oils, which can irritate sensitive underarms. Choose an unscented or sensitive formula, like Native Sensitive or Natural Embrace Unscented, and patch test first.

Does aluminum-free deodorant stop sweat?

No. Only antiperspirants reduce sweat. Aluminum-free deodorants are designed to keep you smelling fresh.

What does Imperfect Container mean on some listings?

It is part of the product name from our supplier and indicates the container may have cosmetic imperfections. These items are priced below standard retail. Contact us before ordering if you would like details on a specific item.
