Aluminium-free deodorants have become a readily-available option from brands both big and small, so whether you’re a lifelong Dove fan or you fancy trying something natural from Schmidt's or Weleda, you’ll be able to find a favourite. Switching from your usual products is always a bit daunting, so we decided to investigate the world of aluminium-free deodorants and share our findings.
Roll-on, cream or spray, men's, athletic types and heavy sweaters, we’ve got you and your pits covered. Our top 10 online buys from John Lewis, Boots, Amazon, and more should also help you pick up a deodorant you’ll actually use, no sweat! Moreover, we have partnered with Dermatologist Felipe Partarrieu for reviewing and fact-checking the article so that we can deliver you the best information.
Felipe Partarrieu is a dermatologist, who is GMC registered with a full licence to practise in the UK. Specialising in cosmeceuticals, facial skin care, and hair disorders, we worked with Felipe to bring you top quality information to help you make informed buying decisions and understand more about what goes onto your skin.
A recommendation service that carefully researches each product and consults with experts across many disciplines. We are constantly creating new content to provide the best shopping experience from choosing ‘cosmetics’ to ‘food and drink’, ‘home appliances’ to ‘kids and baby’ products, reaching users all across the United Kingdom.
The expert oversees the Buying Guide only, and does not determine the products and services featured.

Secondly, in light of the current shift toward natural beauty products we now like to know exactly what we are putting onto our skin and into our environment. There is also concern over whether it is healthy to block the sweat glands and prevent the body’s natural processes (which are designed to cool us down) from occurring.
Key Points to Consider
Whether you’d rather go with a chemical deodorant (perhaps the brand you like has their own aluminium-free version!) or a naturally-formulated product is up to you – and may be a preference you already have when it comes to your toiletries.
Pump-action sprays applied via a spritzer will appease those who aren’t keen on aerosols, won’t leave white marks, and are often easier to recycle or reuse. The downside is they're a little more fiddly and less convenient, but have great environmental credentials.
Plus, if you’re cutting down on plastics you’ll also appreciate the fact these newer innovations are commonly housed in eco-friendly glass jars and you won't have to worry about the environmental impact of any aerosol sprays!
If you're avoiding plastics, consider switching to a shampoo bar!
Deodorants containing alcohol can irritate and dry out sensitive skin, and if you shave or wax your pits you’ll know only too well how applying a harsh deodorant post-shave can smart like nothing else! Not all products will explicitly state whether they are alcohol-free, so check the ingredients and skip the alcohol or ethanol if you prefer something gentler.
If you're worried about dry skin, consider using a natural hand cream!
