The Best NATURAL Deodorants

Oh, how I feel like a big hippie writing this post. 

First things first, I am one of those people who NEEDS to wear deodorant. If I forget, which happens quite often, I don’t even want to be around myself. I have been known to buy the toughest strength, clinical, and men’s deodorants in the past. 

While I have used these kinds of deodorants for years, they still give me the heebie-jeebies…because I really do not like the idea of applying estrogen producing aluminum and a host of other chemicals on to my arm pits and between my boobs. Yep, I apply deodorant between my boobs…large chested ladies, you feel me, right?

I knew this wasn’t ideal, but your typical chemical packed deodorant keeps you fresh and clean feeling all day, a feeling that is worth a lot…but now I am done with the chemicals. See a list HERE of the 7 harmful chemicals that are included in most mainstream deodorants. And read HERE all about aluminum being horrible for you. 

So, I went on a quest to find the best possible all natural, cruelty free, vegan deodorant. I was very pleasantly surprised by what I found. There were some disappointments, too. If you’re on a quest to find a chemical free deodorant, do not use TOMS. You will smell like you haven’t showered in 6 days within 3 hours of wearing it.

Behold the best (IMO) natural deodarants:

Lavanila Healthy Deodorant in Pure Vanilla: This one is my favorite. Not only does it smell so good – not overpowering, but fresh and powdery with a hint of vanilla, its applicator is comfortable and smooth. The formula is creamy and it has been the best natural deodorant to keep sweating under control. 

Bali Secrets Natural Deodorant in Delicate Rose: This deodorant is a great everyday deodorant if you’re not doing a high level of activity. This is not to say that you can’t wear it during a workout because of excessive sweating and smelliness, because it does do its job. I just find that everything is just a bit more under control with the Lavanila. Bali Secrets is much lighter weight as it is a more liquid-y formula. The rose scent is subtle and fresh, not overpowering Grandma.

Green Tidings All Natural Deodorant Extra Strength in Lavender: This one is the most hippie-dippy of them all. But it works amazingly well. I’d say just as well as the Lavanila. It glides on smooth, but not as smooth as the Lavanila. It’s a tad more waxy, but not icky feeling at all. If you love the smell of Lavender, you need this one!

Have you tried any natural deodorants? If so, please let me know what your favorites are in the comments!

xoxo, Lynn

a few ways that getting dressed/fashion is spiritu a few ways that getting dressed/fashion is spiritual:

1. experimenting with what you wear can help you see yourself in a different way & provokes inspiration.
2. Getting dressed in the morning is a way to have fun by expressing your beautiful soul for everyone to see. 
3. when you feel confident in what you’re wearing, you FEEL good.

my style evolution: I used to wear a lot of black & shunned expressing my femininity with the clothes that I wore because I was following trends. NO MORE. now: give me all the feminine LEWKS and colors 🌈

During the first few months of my Z’s life, my body & soul felt burnt out. looking back, it was hard (and still is!) to prioritize just taking a few deep breaths each day. totally not trying to sound dramatic like so many Oprah IG captions 🤣 but it’s the truth.

during a meditation session recently, my intuition called out and invited me to reconnect with my feminine side. I realized I had abandoned much of this ‘side’. this is where the journey of activating my divine feminine energy began for me.  I’ll be sharing bits of my re-discovery here in hopes it will help you overcome the same and step in to your wholeness. 🤍

by wholeness, I mean not DOING IT ALL. being intentional & redefining the feminine experience. 

some of the words I have reclaimed include…

emotional, ease, wild, & healing 

do you have words to describe your feminine energy?

reflecting back on the past year has put into perspective how critical taking the leap and moving to a new place has been for my personal growth and development, and if you’re thinking about moving, this is your sign to do it!

the change of environment has been SO beyond magical for many reasons…it’s taken me out of my comfort zone, given so many new and exciting experiences, and expanded social connections.

Even with other clean products, my scalp was not happy and it’s such a relief to find a product that WORKS that isn’t medicated or full of crap ingredients. so excited to share with y’all as I have always shared my scalp/hair journey and finally feel like my scalp is THRIVING 💖

this look is one of my faves as it doesn’t take much time and it shows off my natural hair texture.
