Irritated skin? Here are the 7 best natural deodorants you can buy right now (2025)

Native

Active ingredients: Baking soda, coconut oil, shea butter | Fragrance: Wide variety | Application type: Stick

Native is one of the best-known natural beauty and care brands on the market. They have an array of body washes, shampoos, skin care and, of course, deodorants that are free from harsh chemicals. The paraben- and aluminum-free formulation uses baking soda as its primary ingredient, offering a sweet scent of coconut and vanilla when applied. Bonus: All fragrances are free from phthalates, too.

Native natural deodorants have great reviews on Amazon — a 4.4-star rating from more than 89,700 buyers — who describe it as the “best natural deodorant" and an "awesome product." It's a solid stick application that goes on smoothly without leaving a pesky white cast.

"Native deodorant is perfect for both women and men, and it's an all-around fantastic choice for anyone looking for a natural deodorant that works," one shopper raved. "I highly recommend it — it's effective, gentle, and a great addition to any skin care routine."

Crystal Essence

Active ingredients: Potassium alum (mineral salts) | Fragrance: None | Application type: Stick

The Crystal Deodorant Stick is as stripped-down as natural deodorants get. It's fragrance-free and uses mineral salts to block odors, resulting in a vegan and cruelty-free formula. That means it doesn't have any aluminum, parabens, sulfates, phthalates or artificial colors or fragrances, all for around $8 per stick.

While it may sound a little surprising, take it from this reviewer: "I love this stuff! I've been using this brand of deodorant for years. I haven't put regular deodorant on my arms since 2013 (and I'm an active, sweaty male)."

It's important to note that it's a slightly different application process than conventional deodorant. Prior to putting it on, you have to lightly moisten the stone. From there, you can apply it to your skin.

Dr. Squatch

Active ingredients: Arrowroot, charcoal, postbiotics | Fragrance: Wide variety | Application type: Stick

Anyone can use can deodorant type or scent, but if you're looking for something that leans masculine, Dr. Squatch's Natural Deodorant is a good option. The aluminum-free formula comes in a few fresh fragrances (this two-pack is available in Alpine Sage and Fresh Falls), all of which use arrowroot and charcoal as its active ingredients. The brand says the deodorant fights odor for up to 24 hours, which is an impressive feat considering it's made with 98% to 100% natural ingredients.

Buyers love the scents available, noting that they're not too powerful but still work well. Some reported that the longevity isn't the best, though, so you may have to re-apply a few times throughout the day.

Kopari Beauty

Active ingredients: Coconut oil, sage oil | Fragrance: Coconut | Application type: Stick

If you're looking for something that smells a bit more feminine, this coconut deodorant from Kopari Beauty lands on top. The sweet coconut fragrance received top-notch reviews with shoppers who found that it smells great and is easy to use. Like some of the other options on our list, this vegan and cruelty-free formula is free from aluminum and baking soda.

One of the standouts of this deodorant is that it doesn't have a color — that means you won't accidentally stain your clothes when you're applying it thanks to the clear gel consistency.

One Florida-based buyer with a job that took them outside in heat was seriously thrilled with their purchase: "I am extremely surprised with how well this coconut deodorant actually works!"

Lume

Active ingredients: Corn starch | Fragrance: Wide variety | Application type: Stick

With a 4.2-star rating from more than 32,000 Amazon shoppers, Lume's Whole Body Deodorant is a natural deodorant superstar. As the name implies, it's an all-over formula that can be applied to your armpits and anywhere else you need. There are tons of fragrances available — and we mean tons, ranging from Peony Rose to Fresh Alpine or a completely unscented option — all of which are free from aluminum, baking soda, phthalates, sulfates, parabens, and talc.

If you have sensitive skin or are prone to heat rash, no worries there, either: Lume's whole body deodorant is also hypoallergenic and safe for any external use.

"I've been using Lume Whole Body Deodorant for almost a year now, and I'm done with everything else!" one happy customer wrote. "The 72-hour odor control works exactly as promised — I can confidently go about my day without worrying about body odor."

Salt & Stone

Active ingredients: Probiotics, spirulina, hyaluronic acid | Fragrance: Saffron and cedar | Application type: Stick

If you're concerned that natural deodorant won’t stand up to your needs, take things up a notch with Salt & Stone's extra-strength natural deodorant. The aluminum-free formulation uses seaweed extracts and hyaluronic acid to moisturize the skin while probiotics work to neutralize odor, all with a slightly spicy saffron and cedar scent.

It pledges to keep odor at bay for 48 hours, even boasting a smooth, clear look without any white cast. It's another vegan and cruelty-free pick that shoppers describe as "amazing," "incredible," and "gentle."

Little Seed Farm

Active ingredients: Activated charcoal | Fragrance: Wide variety | Application type: Cream

Little Seed Farm's natural deodorant cream is easy to use thanks to the smooth texture. It's a paste that's similar to a face mask, and it even comes with a wooden scoop stick for effortless application. It uses activated charcoal as its primary ingredient and is certified cruelty- and GMO-free. It also contains 100% natural ingredients, without any parabens or synthetic fragrances.

"I love that it's all-natural, easy to apply, and actually works," one buyer wrote. "Not so sweaty now, and even if I do have a smidge of sweat with it on, I don't stink like I did with other deodorant!"
