Our 3 Favorite: Deodorants
I know, what an exhilarating topic! But hey, we use this (or at least, we better!) everyday and it is something that is constantly evolving. I asked a good amount of my girlfriends what they used and preferred and the answers are a little all over. It seems like most of us are relatively brand loyal, but also just trying to find something that is effective and will not irritate our skin too much. Of course, do you go spray or stick - or wipes or salt! So many options, who knew! Stay stink-free, everyone!
Dove 0% aluminum deodorant contains…0% aluminum! Dove is definitely a long standing brand in the deodorant world and the 0% alcohol helps arms recover from shaving irritation. 1/4 of the ingredients are moisturizers, which help keep the underarms soft and smooth.
Some of their scents include Cranberry & Plum, Pear & Lavender, and Hibiscus & Mint. Save $3 versus buying individually. Effective, but also aluminum free and will not stain your clothes. Gender neutral and strong enough for men and women.
Alaffia Coconut Reishi Deodorant
Alaffia’s coconut activated deodorant, with soothing coconut, purifying neem, odor neutralizing charcoal, protective shea and nourishing reishi, will leave you fresh all day. It is amazing because of all of the ingredients it does NOT contain. This deodorant has NO Synthetic Fragrance, Parabens, Sulfates, Animal Testing, Propanediol, Phthalates, Aluminum, Mineral Oil, Propylene Glycol, Triclosan or Silicone. All sales of Alaffia products contribute to empowerment projects to help break the cycle of poverty in the Togo region of Western Africa.

Comment below with any brands or styles that are not mentioned above. There are so many options out there and I would love to know what options you use and trust! I have tried a few sprays that I will likely never buy again and feel like my deodorant collection is always dwindling - I honestly don’t know where they go? Maybe in a gym bag in my closet? Regardless, share your favorites so I can pick them up on my next Target run!
