I’m on a hunt to try all kinds of natural deodorants and I’ll keep you posted if I find any other deodorant brands I love more than Humble!

I’ve also never used antiperspirants before the deodorant worked for me right away. But if you’ve been using antiperspirants, I know it can take some time for your body to adjust to using a natural deodorant. Sodium Bicarbonate (Baking Soda): If you’re not allergic to baking soda, it’s safe to use. Baking-soda-free deodorants exist for those who are sensitive to baking soda. These are the products I got from Humble Brands. For this post, I’ll just be reviewing the deodorants. I might do a separate Humble soap review later!

Back up: How does natural deodorant work?

In addition to dermatitis, acne isn’t out of the question, especially if you’re using a deodorant that contains coconut oil or another type of vegetable oil. These ingredients, Dr. Vashi says, are occlusive, meaning they form a protective barrier over the top layer of the skin. On one hand, coconut oil’s occlusive properties make it a great moisturizer; on the other, they make it highly comedogenic, or pore-clogging. When pores get clogged, breakouts can easily follow. If you’re acne-prone and trying a natural deodorant, it’s certainly possible that you’ll encounter a rogue armpit pimple. for the planet: They’re a member of 1% for the planet, which means they donate 1% of their profits to a social organization. To be fair, Humble Brands doesn’t market itself as eco-friendly. However, (spoiler alert) it’s still more environmentally friendly than the average company. Ingredients Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride (MCT): Derived from coconut oil and glycerin. It’s able to moisturize and replenish skin. Overall, a very safe ingredient to use in natural skincare products. So don’t worry if it’s not working for you right away – your body might just need a bit of adjusting to do.

Magnesium Hydroxide: This is essentially salt and it’s used to replace baking soda in deodorant. It’s better for sensitive skin because it’s less likely to cause irritation than baking soda. When I looked at the ingredients, it was easy to tell that they don’t include these nasty toxins inside their products. Many conventional deodorant brands actually these bad chemicals, believe it or not! EWG Rating of Humble Deodorant No stains: Nothing’s worse than a deodorant showing up on your fresh white T-shirt. Thankfully, that did not happen here. Whatever deodorant did end up on my T-shirts seemingly washed out cleanly and clearly.

Loses power during the day: When applied in the morning, the deodorant does tend to lose efficacy deeper into the day, especially if you do anything that might encourage sweating. But even at the end of the day, overall, my pits still felt pretty clean and dry and body odor was minimally detectable. By the end of a second day with the deodorant, I definitely noticed more frequent bouts of sweating, but surprisingly, body odor didn’t start to become a problem until later. I also found after skipping a shower (a second time) that merely reapplying was sufficient to keep my pits feeling fresh for the day. On the whole, this deodorant did leave armpits more susceptible to some moisture when compared to aluminum-based antiperspirants, but the amount of sweating was pretty manageable and not uncomfortable.

Items I Got From Humble Finally, coconut oil, which usually acts as a skin conditioner in natural deodorants, may also cause irritation or an allergic reaction thanks to certain ingredients commonly added to it, Mayra Maymone, MD, a researcher at the University of Colorado dermatology department, tells SELF. She adds that lichen extract is a lesser-known plant-derived ingredient that may offer antibacterial benefits, but can similarly lead to skin issues. I was impressed with how smoothly the product glided on. It didn’t tug on my skin. Even though the deodorant was soft, there was barely any residue left over. I usually apply two or three swipes. I love it when I see simple ingredient lists like this. They only have 4 main ingredients in all their deodorants plus essential oils and botanicals. I’m happy to see that all these ingredients are safe to use and gentle on the skin! After trying the Bergamot & Ginger and Morrocan Rose deodorants, I can truly say – Humble deodorant actually works!
