For many people wearing deodorant is part of our everyday beauty routines. But a lot of brands have ingredients such as aluminium and other harsh chemicals that could potentially cause reactions for many, especially those with sensitive skin. Then there are people who simply just prefer to opt for natural beauty products. As the natural beauty movement gains momentum, more and more brands are producing natural alternatives to our beauty staples and one of those alternatives are natural deodorants. Because we are all about a good natural product (and even better if it is sustainable) we have rounded up some of the best natural deodorants below so you too can jump on the natural beauty bandwagon.
