The Green Tidings All Natural Deodorant is one of our favorite antiperspirants. Although their scented deodorant uses essential oils, they also offer an unscented deodorant that is great for skin that requires a gentle formula.

- Aluminum-free
- Gluten-free
- Soy-free
- Vegan and cruelty-free
- Non-toxic and organic ingredients
- Sustainable production facility

Megababe the Geo Deo Deodorant
Megababe’s The Geo Deo Deodorant is smooth, soft and naturally scented.
