8 All-natural deodorants, die tatsächlich funktionieren

Ich war auf einem steinigen Weg, um das perfekte Deo zu finden; einige in der Vergangenheit haben mich mit roten Ausschlägen und Irritationen nach der Rasur zurückgelassen. Obwohl mein Standard Dove Advanced Care Antiperspirant Deo ($ 5; amazon.com) mich seit Jahren trocken und BO-frei hält, war ich neugierig auf all-natürliche Deodorants - aber besorgt, dass sie nicht stehen würden bis zu stinken. Außerdem, obwohl eine Verbindung zwischen Deo-Chemikalien und Brustkrebs nicht bewiesen wurde, mag ich immer noch die Idee einer natürlichen Option, vor allem, weil es etwas ist, das den ganzen Tag auf Ihrer Haut bleibt. Ich habe 25 Arten von All-natürliche Deo während meiner Mittagspause Workouts versucht. Durch Trial-and-Error (und viele 5K-Läufe) sind dies meine besten Tipps für all-natürliche Deodorants. Dieser Stick wird mit Kokosöl und Sheabutter hergestellt, sodass er sanft gleitet. Ich habe auch eine Version getestet, die man mit den Fingern in die Achselhöhlen einreiben kann, aber wenn man die Wahl hat, würde ich die Stick-Version wählen. Es absorbierte schnell und hinterließ keine Rückstände auf meiner Kleidung.

Wenn Sie keine Düfte haben, gibt es bei Schmidt auch eine duftstofffreie Option, sowohl für den Stock als auch für den Deo-Krug.

This clear deodorant was my favorite. The eucalyptus smells fresh, and the gel glides on easily without leaving a residue. I wore it for a long run, and afterward I still smelled fresh like eucalyptus, not B.O. It's also alcohol- and aluminum-free, so after shaving it didn't sting to apply—always a plus.

The fragrance is faintly sweet like natural sugar, not the overly syrupy smell I'm used to when things are described as smelling like sugar. The scent strikes the perfect balance of smelling slightly sweet but not cloying. As the name implies, the product is made with sugar, as well as oat kernel extract, witch hazel water, aloe leaf extract, and meadowsweet extract to soothe your skin and keep you dry at the same time. The product applied smoothly and absorbed quickly (something I worry about with liquid deodorants).

When putting my shirt back on after my workout, I didn't have any tell-tale white deodorant stains on the inside, and the deodorant dried in record time.

Though it's technically targeted toward men, I enjoyed this musky, earthier scent on me. I could smell it stronger post-workout, so I felt like I didn't even need to wear a fragrance the day I wore this. Low-maintenance beauty just got even easier.

Photo: macys.com This is the one I was most worried about trying. It comes in a cute little jar, and you have to apply a pea-sized amount with your fingers (!). But I loved it once I got over how weird it was to put it on with my hands, rather than an applicator. I tried the grapefruit scent, and it lasted all day, even after a 3-mile run.Meow Meow may be your best bet if you have sensitive skin. Many all-natural deodorants contain baking soda, which can irritate the underarms, but this version swaps it out for arrowroot powder and dietary magnesium to keep you dry, plus shea butter to moisturize.

Scented with honey, lavender, and eucalyptus, it smells feminine without being overwhelming, making it a great choice if you're not a huge fragrance fan but still want a little hint of scent.

Photo: agentnateur.com The package might be small (perfect for keeping in your purse if you sweat a lot!), but this deodorant packs a huge dose of sweat protection. The bright citrus scent is pleasant and the tiny tube fit in the small pocket of my gym bag perfectly.

The lemon scent was super fresh and easy to apply. I even spritzed some on my wrists for a mid-afternoon mood boost.
