Finding the Best Natural Deodorant for Men

By Kira Kemlo

5 Min Read

Over recent years there’s been a noticeable surge in the popularity of natural deodorants among men. This reflects a societal shift towards better male grooming. Men are finding the importance of using products that not only work, but are also gentle on the skin and environmentally sustainable.

Why choose natural deodorants?

One of the key benefits driving the newfound preference for natural deodorants is their skin-friendly formulas. Unlike traditional deodorants that often contain harsh chemicals, natural deodorants are typically made from plant-based ingredients and essential oils. These ingredients help to neutralise odour-causing bacteria without clogging pores or causing irritation, making them ideal if you have sensitive skin.

Natural deodorants are also often free from synthetic fragrances and dyes. This reduces the risk of allergic reactions and irritations. Instead, they rely on natural scents taken from floral and botanical extracts, offering a surprisingly refreshing and subtle aroma that doesn't overpower like some deodorants.

Getting the most out of your natural deodorant

To get the most out of your deodorant so it’s effective throughout the day, make sure you apply it to clean, dry skin. And use the correct amount. This should only be a few swipes in the targeted areas using a roll-on. You should also wait a little while to put on your clothes so you don’t lose some of the deodorant on your top.

You also need to use the right formula for you. Check the ingredients and find out what works best with your skin. And remember to store your deodorant properly. Keep it in a cool and dry place for maximum efficiency, which is especially important when using a natural deodorant.

What to expect when you change to natural deodorant

Going from standard antiperspirant deodorants to natural alternatives may require patience as your body adjusts. Over time, your pores can become dependent on the compounds found in traditional deodorants. It may take a few weeks for your body to detoxify and adapt to natural deodorants. Stay patient during this transition period and look forward to the benefits of healthier, happier underarms once your body has fully adjusted.

Order your natural deodorant

As environmental awareness grows and concerns about harsh chemicals mount, it's no wonder that men are turning to more natural antiperspirant options. Embracing natural fragrances and biodegradable packaging not only reduces our exposure to harmful chemicals but also contributes to a healthier planet with each use. Check out our range of natural deodorants and order yours today. 

FAQs

Is switching to natural deodorant worth it?

Though it may take some time to adjust to, switching to natural deodorant is better for your skin and the environment, and can provide you with a more subtle and fragrant scent day in and day out.

What is the best natural deodorant for men?

With an average review star rating of 4.6/5, our best deodorant for men is our Awaken Mint & Eucalyptus Natural Deodorant. 100% cruelty free, this deodorant gives users a healthy scent derived from peppermint, eucalyptus and rosemary.

Can I use natural deodorants on sensitive skin?

Natural deodorants are actually better for sensitive skin, avoiding the blocking of pores like regular antiperspirants do, the formula in our natural range neutralises odours rather than stopping it sticking.

How often should I apply natural deodorant for optimal freshness?

Apply natural deodorant once a day, after a shower. If you feel you need more later in the day, or want to refresh your scent, apply more as necessary.
