Switching to an aluminum-free natural deodorant is a great way to avoid some of the most toxic ingredients that are still widespread in the conventional deodorant market. Remember that green apple Lady Speed Stick that flew off shelves in the 90s? Turns out those antiperspirant properties weren’t the best choice when it comes to looking after your endocrine system or skin health. We now know traditional antiperspirants use a whack of chemicals to curb our natural sweat production. But if we’re looking to lessen our toxic intake, is there a natural alternative that actually works? We put some of the best natural sticks in the biz to the test, and here’s what we came up with.

Try Kaia Naturals’ Underarm Bar a gentle cleansing soap infused with activated charcoal and apple cider vinegar.
