First of all, before I wax lyrical about my top pick, none of the natural deos stopped me sweating. A grime confession to make on the internet but I must be honest with you all, it’s something that as someone that has used ‘regular’ deodorant all my life I wasn’t used to the amount my pits sweat naturally and the lack of aluminium to block the perspiring meant that I was sweatier than normal.
Each one I tried had an interesting texture, and in fact the standout winner for me I think had the least pleasing texture and application of them all. If you’re an aerosol spray anti-perspirant fan, you might find the creamy textures of natural deodorants hard to get used to– I normally used a wet roll-on so it didn’t bother me too much and the majority of them are roll-on too.
As the sweat was a given, the two things I looked for after testing a new one at each spin class was how conscious I was of any pungent underarm smells and any itchiness, which sometimes occurs for me when I’m sweaty. The Natural Deodorant Clean Deodorant balm, won in these areas, hands down.
