Experts Tell Us the Best Environmentally Friendly Deodorant in the UK

Your deodorant should keep your perspiration fresh and odor-free, not try to stop you from sweating. They put together a potent combination of chemicals that work well together to make you feel and smell nice every day. Baking soda, which is used in other natural deodorants, alters the pH of your pits and results in rashes. To deodorise without producing bumps and rashes, they utilise arrowroot powder, zinc oxide, bentonite clay, magnesium oil, and zinc oxide.

Initially I was very apprehensive about changing my deodorant to a mineral base as I wasn’t convinced that it would actually keep me dry and odour free. However after using the salt of the earth for over 2 years I am happy to recommend it to anyone who is seeking to decrease their carbon footprint. The plastic free version comes as a solid block of salt mineral, no holder or case, sold in cardboard packaging. It lasts about a year – if not dropped! So it becomes super economic! Other benefits include avoiding the use of aerosols which are a known green house gas and can also cause cancer! The down side is that without the case it can sometimes shatter if dropped. There is a glass holder option which is a good alternative to this very economically friendly deodorant.

There’s also a metal key gadget to squeeze every last drop from the tube (£9). One tube is said to last six to eight weeks, so it’s the most costly eco deodorant we looked at.
