In recent years, a few elite operators have achieved the double of creating deodorants that not only perform, but that go easier on our bodies and sometimes the environment too. So here they are – the deodorants that are good for you and everyone around you.

Protection Deodorant Bergamot & Sea Fennel, £10 | Horace
Amid concerns about the impact on our health of aluminium in deodorants, you might want to play it safe. If so, Horace is the brand to know for aluminium-free options. It’s got four, including extra-fresh Eucalyptus & Sage, and they’re also alcohol free, which should mean no white marks at the end of the day either.

Herbal Deodorant Roll-On, £27 | Aesop
Aesop is the Aussie brand with the brown bottles you probably saw in the bathroom of the last good restaurant you went to. Its original deodorant comes in roll-on and spray forms, as does its Herbal alternative featuring sage leaf and a wasabi extract that should have you looking lively first thing in the morning. Aesop

The Starter Kit, £25 (was £32) | AKT
A decade ago, West End performers Ed Currie and Andy Coxon just couldn’t find a weapons-grade natural deodorant to keep them smelling sweet on stage. So they spent three years creating Akt. It’s a grainy balm that comes in an array of contemporary scents – and the only aluminium here is in the plastic-free tube it calls home.

Sport Deodorant, £25 | Bamford
Peppermint, eucalyptus and tea tree make Bamford’s Sport deodorant uniquely refreshing. Though it goes on as a light mist, this one’s a hard worker – its ingredients have also been chosen to give it antibacterial, antiseptic and anti-inflammatory qualities.

Body Fuel Antiperspirant & Deodorant, £24 | Kiehl's
With its classic Body Fuel, Kiehl’s rolls an antiperspirant and a deodorant into one. Caffeine, vitamin C and zinc give it a special energy – it promises to keep you in a fit state to meet your public for 48 hours at a time.

Bergamot Deodorant, £22 | Malin + Goetz
The kings of clean living at Malin & Goetz offer a couple of deodorants that are as gently effective as everything else they do. We like Bergamot for the citrusy memories it conjures of Italian summers past.

Wide Eyed Starter Pack, £15 | Fussy
This is your homegrown alternative to Malin & Goetz. Brit brand Fussy also uses probiotic enzymes to neutralise the bacteria that make us smell. Its subscription plans don’t just enable it to send you plastic-free refills – they’ll save you from ever overpaying for emergency alternatives in the corner shop again.

Natural Deodorant, £38 | Patrick's Products
Patricks changed the game in 2021 when it launched ND1. Thanks to a little-known active named Niodor, the world finally had a natural deodorant that performed like an unnatural one. ND1 still impresses today.

Deodorant Refill, £12 | Proverb Skin
Luke Sherriff was playing rugby for Harlequins when he first realised the deodorant market was ripe for disruption. With partner Kirstie, he created Proverb – a range of refillable natural deos that runs from Sensitive & Unfragranced up to ‘max strength’ Blood Orange & Pepper.

Deodorant, £35 | Rollr
Rollr calls itself an ‘anti-odourant’ and ‘de-perspirant’. It uses pre and probiotics to stop odour, while reducing sweat naturally – by tightening pores, not blocking them. To minimise waste, it’s a roll-on that arrives as a sachet. Pour it into one of its ‘gemstone’ vessels, add water and you’re good to go.

Deodorant, £20 | Salt & Stone
For a long time, natural deodorants that actually work were few and far between. The first we ever discovered was Salt & Stone, and it remains a stalwart today. Try the extra-strength Santal & Vetiver if you’re not sure.
