Thinking of going au naturale with your deodorant? You're in luck. Five of the top recommended products were tested by E! Style Collective editors and these are the results...
You're going to LOVE this stuff. It, hands down, works better than any store bought, traditional deodorant you usually wear. Any and all of the smells are light and clean. When applied it goes on clear, which means there's no white mess for you to accidentally get on your clothes. It has a fine gritty texture almost like a face polish, which isn't bad it's just different, and it even lasts (meaning: will keep you smelling fresh) through a 60 minute spin class!
Overall Rating: Five big heart eyed smiley face emoji.
Schmidt's Natural Deodorant, $9
Right off the bat, this product claims to be unscented, but it actually does have a light, sporty scent—it's not terrible, but it is scented. It also almost immediately starts crumbling on application, which is not ideal for your clothing (because it gets everywhere). Does it last all day? No, but on a normal work day it'll last until around 3 p.m., which isn't horrible, but it's definitely not ideal.
Overall Rating: Two broken heart emoji.
Arm & Hammer Essentials Solid Deodorant, $5
If you enjoy the smell of men's deodorant, you're going to love this scent, but keep in mind this deodorant does not last—not even through a day at your desk job. It'll also leave your pits dry and smelly for the majority of the day. What does cedarwood mixed with B.O. smell like? Not good.
Overall Rating: One pine tree emoji.
Every Man Jack Deodorant, $6
The initial application feels a bit gritty (not pleasant) and then, for the rest of the day, your underarms feel clammy and icky (also not pleasant). By mid-day you'll be reaching for your regular deodorant because it's so uncomfortable. Then factor in the reality that it pretty much does nothing for you in terms of hiding smell.
Overall Rating: One thumbs down emoji.
Tom's of Maine Original Care Deodorant, $5
Applying deodorant cream is so strange if you're used to using a stick, but for this product it's worth it. It will keep you feeling and smelling fresh from day to night! If you have sensitive skin, you might notice a small rash in your underarm, but once your body gets used to the product that will go away.
Overall Rating: Four fresh floral bouquet emoji.
Soapwalla Deodarant Cream, $14
