12 Best Natural Deodorants That Actually WorkIt takes a lot of trial and error to find a natural deodorant that keeps your pits stink-free. We took on the challenge for you. Here, the 12 best natural deodorants that really do work |

It's not that I don't love natural products -- I do. But when it comes to deodorant, give me my Secret Clinical Strength any day -- because in my experience, even the best aluminum-free deodorants don't do what they're supposed to. Namely, keep us stink-free.
Recently, however, I noticed a slew of new natural deodorants hitting the shelves. With hopes that they would be better than their predecessors, I came up with a way to test the aluminum-free deodorants without having to be publicly smelly. I wore them on my morning runs during the two hottest weeks of the summer. I did a mid-way sniff test as well as a post-run smell test to see how the formulas held up. And the ones that scored the highest got an all-day tryout on weekends -- when I would be seeing my closest friends.
Not surprisingly, they didn't all make the cut. But these are the 12 best natural deodorants that made it through to round two. They're ranked in order from my least favorite to my favorite, and I spell out what makes each one special. I recommend taking a few for a test drive -- and then letting us know about your experience by writing a review on their product pages.

I'm sure these work well, but I'm more comfortable with a tried-and-true antiperspirant/deodorant like "Certain Dri" or "Mitchum."

I’ve been looking for an effective, all-natural deodorant that contains no alcohol or aluminum. I tried a few brands but was most satisfied with Lavilin. I’ve been a satisfied customer for over 7 years and got my husband and daughter to switch over a few years ago as well. Some of our friends have also started using it. Everyone’s happy and odorless!

The Lavanila deodorant is absolutely the best in the world. I have super super sensitive skin and it this is the only deodorant I can wear. And it smells amazing too. NO matter how extremely sensitive your skin is, I promise this will work.

There is a new 100% natural scentless mineral rich deodorant that works 24 hours or more, its water based, so no oiliness and mess, it has dead sea minerals, organic food grade ingredients, and vitamins, no aluminum, no baking soda, I read the ingredients list, and its clean from nasty chemicals, my wife is using it while breast feeding, Two pregnant woman in my family too, they are vegans, and nature freaks. Sound Good enough to me. its called MgDeo a short for Magnesium Deodoant

I am on a quest for a natural, aluminum free deodorant that will work on even the hottest day. I agree that the Lavanila is the best, but smell still breaks through it. The Weleda spray is useless.
