Natural deodorants - nice idea but just don't cut it?

I really liked Fussy and I really like Native which I bought for ages at some expense as they're American. Currently using Monster Gummy bear

However I have a problem with all of them and that is they make me sore. My underarms go red and rashy so there's an ingredient in them all causing this unfortunately

They work in that I never smell though but can't take the rash!

I did use wild for a while and I didn't smell of BO exactly but didn't smell fresh either!
That was the best natural deodorant I've tried.
I've gone back to spray deodorant now, I'm thinking at least it's metal so easy to recycle

I used to use mitchum with no bother then, all of a sudden for no discernable reason I started to smell like beef stew cooking on the hob!
It was a horrendous few weeks until I tried sure maximum strength (the 96 hr one) and now I am back to smelling only of my perfume!
I don't test the 96 hrs as I shower daily but I absolutely wouldn't have any confidence in natural deodorant, I would rather take my chances with the chemicals.

I was given a small Fussy one at Xmas and actually I was really surprised by how well it lasted. Would definitely buy another.

It's a total game changer. I switched my teenage son to it as well and he has been noticeably non-smelly ever since - that is powerful stuff! He is a very clean young man so was never hugely whiffy but definitely used to be a bit stinky at the end of the day esp after PE. Since using glycolic acid - nothing.

I use fussy and I think it’s better than wild. I really prefer natural deodorants and won’t go back to using antiperspirants ever!

I use the antiperspirant. Which isn't strictly no chemicals but I suppose less than normal amounts

My DH is a convert to Fussy & it works for him.
I decided to try it last autumn & gave it till beginning of year & it just didn't work for me at all! I smelt awful at the end of each day & it made the underarms of my clothes a dark colour (not moisture).
So I'm back to using Dove.

I've tried natural deodorants, like wild, AKT and salt - no good. I picked up one called humble in TK Maxx which was ok, but hard to get hold of.

I've also tried make waves anti perspirent. Maybe I sweat a little less with that one, but I smell by the end of the day (Manual job, HCP). I've given up and gone back to mens mitchum stick

I’m using the Mitchum Natural Power Coconut which I really like.

Adore wild but took about a month to detox my pits from sure and for it to work. Doesn't work for everyone though

Mitchum used to be the only deodorant that worked for me.

Now I use Wild deodorant - it works well for me (usually the sea breeze one, I think). But I think that washing with traditional bar soap helps, as does wearing natural fabrics. Plus I rub on quite a lot of the deodorant.

I use life supplies. Annoyingly expensive but they all are really. It's actually an antiperspirant and works just like a normal shop one. I use the eucalyptus but they have an orange scent which I like the sound of too.

I use Akt which is outrageously expensive but which works better on me than Dove anti-perspirant which is what I used before.

How long did you try Wild for? I used it for 2 weeks (in lock down fortunately) and initially I stank for a week or two but they do warn that it's very common when you switch to a natural deodorant. I've been using it since and I only smell sweaty a bit the next morning if I've got hot in the night having applied it the morning before......have a shower, prolly and it's fine.

Another vote for the Natural Deodorant Company. I have sensitive skin and have had no problems with their sensitive one (I have tangerine).

I have the Malin & Goetz eucalyptus stick for when I'm out and don't want the faff of one I have to apply manually. Really like this too but can't justify the price for permanent use! The Caudalíe stick is similar and half the price but I seem to react to that one after a few days.

I am a bit more sweaty with a natural deodorant but not smelly!

The only one I've ever found that works is a Dove one that I buy in America ,it's not available here. Maybe it'll be on sale here eventually,hope so as it's fantastic.

Can't beat sure roll on for me sadly !

I use wild and it's the best deodorant I've ever used actually, I love it.

Fussy leaves grease marks and while okayyyy isnt great.
Ive.spent about £30 trying natural deos now.

Mitchum is 💯 the best thing ive tried and i keep coming back it it

@Onyuk100 how do you find making waves? They do an antiperspirant as well as a deodorant. Which do you use?

I loved the Natural deodorant company Active tubs but they are not cheap. I was going to buy some more but then was given a crystal deodorant stick as a free sample in a health food co-op. It has lasted for years and really works!

Any deodorant advertised as alcohol free (biosen etc) is worse than useless for me. Feels like I have stronger than usual BO with a weird overtone of perfume.

None of it works for me - i'm back to the classic anti perspirant. I realised that I would take the 0.001 per cent higher chance of breast cancer than stinking, being soaked and being completely self conscious and embarrassed every day of my life

Years ago I used a Sure natural low chemical deodrant. I got welts on my armpits! And i stank.

Yes very happy with Fussy
