Are natural deodorants as effective as conventional ones?
Should you say goodbye to your conventional deodorant and switch to an organic or natural one? Aluminum salts, parabens and triclosan... many ingredients have had their safety questioned over the years.
Which natural deodorant to choose?
At Oh My Cream, we're convinced that efficacy and safety are not mutually exclusive, and that a good natural deodorant is a perfect match for a good workout. The deodorants we've selected are not only non-toxic, non-carcinogenic and packed with natural active ingredients, they're also genuine skin care products. So you can trust our selection of deodorants to smell great!
Classic vs. natural deodorant
Conventional deodorants contain aluminum salts which block the natural perspiration process: the body can no longer evacuate toxins properly, and over the long term, this can become very harmful. In contrast, natural deodorants regulate perspiration (even excessive perspiration!) and neutralize unpleasant odors naturally. On the other hand, they cannot combat perspiration 100%, as it would be unnatural to block the evacuation of toxins.

With or without baking soda? Find the natural deodorant that's right for you!
The ingredients most often found in natural deodorants are: baking soda, coconut oil, sweet almond oil, shea butter, jojoba oil, lavender essential oil and sage essential oil. They are mainly known for their absorbent, anti-odour and antibacterial properties. Nevertheless, for sensitive skin, we recommend avoiding essential oils and baking soda, which could cause irritation. But don't panic! There are, of course, natural, fragrance-free deodorants for sensitive skin that are hypoallergenic and super-effective, such as Schmidt's Sensitive Natural Deodorant.
The underarm detox process
A word of warning if you're new to natural deodorants... because your armpits are going to need a little getting used to! Indeed, if your sweat glands have been suffocated by aluminum salts for several years, they may produce excessive perspiration for the first few days. But don't be discouraged, your pores will thank you: your natural sweating process will regulate itself and you'll be able to say goodbye to unpleasant perspiration odours! You'll be amazed!
