Some people experience irritation when using natural deodorant with baking soda. While the ingredient doesn't bother me, I wanted to give a baking soda-free formula a shot. Enter this pick, which is made with absorbent arrowroot powder and odor-fighting magnesium instead of baking soda. Because of the uplifting citrus scent, I like to swipe this one on before morning workouts. Even without baking soda, it keeps my pits odor-free during and after an intense ride.
To say I'm obsessed with this natural deodorant would be an understatement. The aluminum-, paraben- and baking soda-free formula is packed with pH-balancing fruit enzymes that nix odor and probiotics that promote good bacteria. Not only does it smell delicious, it has a creamy formula that goes on smoothly with no white residue. In addition to curbing odor while I work out, it also makes my underarms feel softer.
The most intriguing thing about this natural deodorant is that it slows hair regrowth between waxes. With summer quickly approaching, that's a major selling point. Beyond that unique feature, it effectively neutralizes odor while I pedal away on my stationary bike. Plus, it's infused with aloe to soothe and soften.
