Let’s cut to the chase—switching to natural deodorant is not always smooth sailing. Maybe you’ve tried one that left you smelling awful by noon. Maybe another gave you a rash. Or maybe you’re still curious, standing in the aisle reading ingredients you can’t pronounce.
We hear this all the time from customers. So if you’re wondering whether natural deodorant actually works, how to avoid the common pitfalls, and why ours keeps people coming back for more—this one’s for you.
First, What Is Natural Deodorant?
Natural deodorant skips the synthetic ingredients—like aluminum, parabens, and artificial fragrance—and instead uses plant-based ingredients to neutralize odor.
That’s different from antiperspirant, which contains aluminum compounds that plug your sweat glands to stop you from sweating altogether. While that sounds convenient, your body needs to sweat to regulate temperature and detox. Blocking that natural process can throw your body off balance over time. Plus toxins and pollutants to the body remain in the lymphatic glands–which isn’t good!
So instead of stopping sweat, natural deodorant supports your body by:
-
Neutralizing odor-causing bacteria
-
Absorbing moisture (without clogging pores)
-
Keeping your underarms fresh with antibacterial and antimicrobial ingredients
But Why Do So Many Natural Deodorants Fail?
Here’s the thing—not all “natural” formulas are created equal.
Some of the biggest issues we hear about:
-
They irritate sensitive skin (often due to baking soda or other harsh ingredients)
-
They don’t actually neutralize odor—just cover it up for a few hours
-
They feel sticky or chalky, leaving residue on your clothes
-
They don’t last, especially during hot weather or high-stress days
Why Ours Works (And Works All Day)
We took everything we didn’t like in a natural deodorant and did the opposite. Then we tested, tweaked, and refined until we landed on a formula that works!
Here’s why ours stands out:
-
No baking soda. We offer a Baking Soda Free version of our best-selling deodorant which balances pH and stops odor-causing bacteria—without causing irritation.
-
No synthetic fragrance. We scent with essential oils that are gentle and effective—like lavender, grapefruit, and lemongrass.
-
No aluminum, no parabens, no phthalates. Ever.
-
Smooth, creamy texture. Glides on easily, absorbs quickly, and won’t stain your clothes.
-
Long-lasting formula. Customers report staying fresh through workouts, stressful meetings, and even Colorado summers.
What to Expect When You Make the Switch
Switching to natural deodorant is a process—and yes, your body might go through a “detox” phase. This usually lasts 1–2 weeks as your body adjusts to sweating naturally again. You might notice:
-
More sweat (temporarily)
-
A bit more odor while your microbiome rebalances
-
Slight skin sensitivity (if you’re switching from a heavy antiperspirant)
Stick with it. Drink plenty of water, wear breathable fabrics, and give your pits a little patience. Most people find their sweat and odor levels normalize by week three—and they feel so much better knowing their product is clean and effective.
