Best Natural Deodorant for Women

If, like us, you’ve been on an exhaustive, multi-year search trying to find an effective natural deodorant, you’ve come to the right place.

While none of us are doctors/scientists, through everything we have read in recent years, there are a few things we are starting to universally believe more and more when it comes to deodorants:

1. Antiperspirants don’t seem like a healthy long-term option
2. Aluminum, which is commonly found in antiperspirants to suppress your sweat ducts, seems like it could have negative long-term side effects (at best)
3. Most of the popular regular deodorants, especially new natural deodorants, suck when it comes to fighting odor from morning to night

We have spent years searching for one that properly balances all 3. After trying out no less than 20 different products we finally came across two that really did it for us (Routine and LIttle Seed Farm). Coincidentally, both required us to completely rethink the way we apply our deodorant. After spending our whole lives using the plastic sticks in the bottle, our two favorites actually require manually spreading it on your skin with your fingers. It’s definitely a bit strange the first few times you do it, but soon you’ll realize how much more effective and efficient it is.

Superstar by Routine is the best we have ever used. The ingredients are natural, the scent is incredible and it lasts all day. You only need to use a small dab of it everyday for each armpit. The texture is soft and easily spreads. It is well worth the extra expense especially since you use it everyday and each container can last as long as 1-3 months.

The reality is that if a scent is neutral enough, there should be no difference in terms of what is the best deodorant for men vs. women. That is why Routine is our clear choice for both.
