Best Natural Deodorant No. 5: Weleda Citrus Deodorant Weleda Citrus Deodorant, $12.99, couldn't be more different from my next favorite, Lavanila (see next slide), but it works almost as well. It's a simple spray with only six ingredients (alcohol, water, lemon peel oil, and three other obscure-sounding essential oils), so if you're a spray-on deodorant fan this one's for you. The spray also makes it easy to reapply -- making it my new go-to for afternoons at the beach. One word of warning: Because it contains alcohol, it does sting a little (especially on freshly-shaven skin), but in a cooling sort of way.

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.

I definitely want to try some of these!
