Green Tidings All Natural Deodorant

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.

  • Gentle formula
  • Aluminum-free
  • Gluten-free
  • Soy-free
  • Vegan and cruelty-free
  • Non-toxic and organic ingredients

Although the scents have mixed reviews, we love the fresh lavender scent.

Megababe the Geo Deo Deodorant

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

Because it can get oily when exposed to sweat, we wouldn’t recommend this if your primary concern is sweat.

  • Repairs skin barrier damage and promotes healthy underarms
  • Cruelty-free
  • Effective at fighting odor

Cons:
