There is no such thing as an aluminum-free antiperspirant. There are, however, plenty of aluminum-free deodorants out there—some better than others. Natural deodorants don’t block your body from sweating, but they do keep body odor and bacteria at bay with a combination of natural oils, clays, and ingredients like baking soda. The trial-and-error process can be daunting for anyone who needs to smell presentable around fellow humans, so we did the hard work for you. These are the five natural deodorants our editors trust.

HoliStick N °3
Agent Nateur
$21 AT VIOLET GREY
This formula does contain baking soda, but it’s also one of the chicest natural deodorants out there. The ingredient list reads more like a grocery list: coconut oil, baking soda, avocado and sunflower butters, honey, and lavender and eucalyptus essential oils.

Natural Deodorant
Corpus
$24 AT VIOLET GREY
This water-based formula makes you feel fancier every time you swipe it on. We love the bergamot, pink lemon, orange blossom, and cardamom scent—it’s more like a luxury fragrance than a classic deodorant scent.

AER Deodorant
Taos AER
$19 AT FOLLAIN
This formula is 70 percent organic and feels powdery on skin—not wet or slick. That’s due to the arrowroot powder and baking soda, which keeps you super-dry if sweat if your main issue.

Deodorant Cream

$14 AT TARGET
The glass jar is sustainable and recyclable, but it’s a little messier to apply than your standard twist-up tube. You won’t care though once you start using the stuff: the baking soda-free formula keeps you smelling fresh without any irritation.
