Standout Picks




















Criteria Used for Evaluation
Effectiveness
The best deodorants not only prevent from bad odor but are also efficient in prevention of perspiration.
When we analyzed the effectiveness of these products, we wanted to make sure that they can really provide fresh feeling and reduce the sweating to some extent and that particularly referred to those deodorants that are advertised as such. We scrutinized the reviews provided by the buyers, consulted experts opinion and analyzed the performance of each ingredient as three relevant factors that matter in this process. So, we came to the conclusion that the best ones are those that not only prevent the bad odor but also are highly effective in preventing the perspiration.
Features
When we talk about the features of these products, we usually consider within the frames of this criterion, all those bits, and pieces that don’t define the product but are considered characteristic and should be mentioned in order to get the whole idea of the product. So within this category, we included the possibility of the products not to stain the clothes and not to provide a greasy or sticky feeling. Also, it is definitely important for the ingredients not to clog pores since that can lead to even serious infections. For the purposes of this article, we included unisex deodorants, so all of them can be used by both since all feature unscented offer.
Product Purity
A product is considered 'the purest' when it is comprised of organic ingredients only.
What these products have in common is their natural and organic background and their total purity status of being not compromised by any toxic, harmful and suspicious chemical or synthetic ingredients. Some of them have several ingredients within their composition, some just a few and there’s a product with only one ingredient, but regardless of the number of the ingredients, all of them are pure.
We know that when it comes to antiperspirants, the main active ingredient is usually an aluminum-based one, however, in natural products, there are several active ingredients that can function as odor blockers and perspiration controllers. One of the most commonly used is the baking soda, which is an excellent moist absorber and bacteria neutralizer, but the con of this ingredient is the fact that some people can be too sensitive on it and develop skin irritation. Other products feature magnesium hydroxide as a substitute for the baking soda which is even better since magnesium is a very important mineral for regulating many body processes and an excellent moist absorbent. The natural mineral salt or Potassium Alum is the sole ingredient of one of the products which are an excellent sweat and odor blocker and activated charcoal is another alternative to baking soda and it is a miracle ingredient that absorbs not only moist but also bacteria.
Protection
Being protected means that even the most strenuous activity won't affect the way your body smells.
The protection which a natural deodorant provides is also a very important feature that needs to be considered and valued. No one would ever buy a deodorant that won’t be able to provide appropriate odor protection, and to some extent, sweat protection. The thing with the natural deodorants is that they often fail to provide the desired effect, and even though there are hundreds of products of this type, there aren’t many that truly provide decent results. However, we are glad to say that the ones that we have selected are truly functional and they have been proven to protect you from the bad smell throughout the day.
Durability
Regarding durability, natural deodorants don’t stand a chance with antiperspirants, in the same manner as antiperspirants don’t stand a chance with natural deodorants when it comes to being pure and healthy. So, how long will a natural deodorant keep you protected? That mainly depends on your skin type, the activity you are doing, the weather…but let’s say that the best ones will keep you protected for about a day. Some of the products have this info clearly stated, some don’t provide the duration. According to the buyers, the ones that we have selected last about 24 hours.
