WHAT TO TRY:

+ (1) Kaia Naturals Charcoal

Deodorant + Detox, $39, uses

activated charcoal in a naturally

fermented base to help fight

Underarm Bar, $39, is also a

natural antibacterial soap that

extra bacteria during detox.

+ (2) Freedom Deodorant, $29,

clay and the natural antibacterial

moisturising properties of organic

coconut oil. It comes in three

fragrances, as well as unscented

for sensitive skin.

+ (3) Little Salties Deodorant,

$13.50, combats bacteria with

magnesium and sea salt, while

aloe vera calms. Four of the

scented options include baking

soda, and there is one without for

those with extra-sensitive pits.

+ (4) Weleda Pomegranate 24hr

Roll-On Deodorant, $15.90, has

the roll-on feel of an antiperspirant

but fights bacteria with natural

ingredients such as licorice root.
