Not all solid deodorants are created equal. Look for natural, skin-friendly ingredients like:
- Odor neutralizers: Baking soda, arrowroot powder, or magnesium hydroxide.
- Moisturizers: Coconut oil, shea butter, or cocoa butter.
- Essential oils (for fragrance): Lavender, tea tree, or citrus oils.
- Avoid: Aluminum compounds (in antiperspirants), parabens, phthalates, and synthetic fragrances if you have sensitive skin or prefer a clean formula.
Pro Tip: If you’re new to baking soda (a common ingredient), know that it can cause irritation for some. Many brands now offer “baking soda-free” alternatives.
