Deodorant for a 10 year old

Noticed DS getting a bit whiffy when hot and active. What deodorants are recommended for this age group. Ideally natural but I don't want something wet or strongly fragranced. Personally I like Right Guard unperfumed but I'm not sure I want to us it on my kid.

We started with one called "Fresh Kidz", I think we got it from Tesco.

Not bad but I found that DD also needed a nearly daily shower when she had either PE or any after school activity.

By Y6 we ended up with normal roll-on. We stuck with them as her Scout group and school (in PE kit) insisted on no-spray ones for camps. The school actually had a talk in Spring term y5 about body hygiene and the need for deodrant.

Ds used Bionsen rollon for the first couple of years, it is fairly gentle but was fine until he got really whiffy.

Now is the time to get them into good habits of morning showers before it gets worse 🤮😷 and they become stroppy teenagers about washing.

The Sam Farmer range is excellent.
