Desert Rose + Citrus: Pure essential oils of Valencia orange and Egyptian geranium make this a green citrus scent with floral highlights. This deodorant contains 100% pure essential oils.
Our extra-strength aluminum-free and paraben-free vegan deodorants are designed to keep you fresh with a very light application. Since they only need one light swipe per armpit, they last much longer than ordinary deodorants.
How it works: We use enzymes to help zap the odor-causing bacteria, and bamboo extract to help absorb excess wetness. Each puck or cube will glide on lightly and smoothly.
New extra strength formula: This concentrated deodorant is strong and effective. Use only one light swipe per armpit. Not recommended for sensitive skin.
Transition period from aluminum deodorant: Aluminum based antiperspirants include big brand products, as well as alternative products like crystal sticks, alum sticks and mineral salt sticks. When switching away from these, you might experience a detox effect for a few days to a couple weeks.
What we mean by detoxing is: you may be more stinky and sweaty at first while your body is ridding itself of the buildup that has accumulated with antiperspirant use. Antiperspirants block the pores so sweat (and toxins) can’t get out. Your body needs to sweat to remove waste.
Re-apply as needed: You may want to reapply during the first few weeks until the detoxing is finished. To reapply, first wipe the area dry, then just use one light swipe to refresh your protection. After the detox period, the deodorant should last 8 hours without need to reapply.
Available sizes:
Zero Waste Large Cube (no packaging or holder - store in airtight container otherwise it will get dry and hard to apply over time) | 3.5 oz | can last up to 6 to 12 months with regular use
Zero Waste Travel Size (no packaging or holder - store in airtight container otherwise it will get dry and hard to apply over time) | 1 oz | can last up to 2 to 4 months with regular use
See tube options (not zero waste) here.
If you shave, wax or epilate, or for sensitive skin: As with any deodorant, we do not recommend applying directly after shaving or hair removal, and we recommend using an extra layer of cream or moisturizer (a small bit of shea butter works great) first if the skin is particularly sensitive and prone to irritation. Apply the moisturizer or oil or butter first then apply the deodorant.
What to do if it dries out: Each deodorant is made with vegan ingredients, in small batches. Since there is a high amount of aloe vera juice, it may evaporate over time and the stick will become drier, and glide less. This doesn't mean it's no longer working - it still will work and be effective. You can re-hydrate it by spritzing with water or using a wet finger to get the “slippery” feeling again.
Store in airtight container: For the unpackaged deodorants, keep it in an airtight container to prevent the aloe vera juice from evaporating. This is especially a factor in dry climates.
High heat: Keep your deodorant out of direct heat or sun (for example your car in the summer) because your deodorant could melt at very high temperatures.

I have tried so many natural deodorants - many with glowing reviews - and not one of them could ever live up to the No Tox Life deodorant. It is simply the best. It works, does not stain the clothes and the tube lasts a long, long time.
It's ready one and a half year that I am using the natural deodorants from No Tox Life, and I think they are super good: long lasting smell, no residues, no toxic ingredients, and a tini bit goes a very long way.
I bought the puck as a trial. It works great! I keep it in a silicone ziptop pouch so it does not dry out. Will order the larger cube when this one starts to shrink.
Works great, makes my pits smell good. Don’t worry about the supposed need to “detox”; skin doesn’t work that way. The deodorant works very well for me. A little tricky to store, I’ve just left it in it’s paper wrapping and that seems to be ok. Love the lack of packaging, bought it again already.
My friend told me years ago that No Tox is the way to go for natural deodorant. I don't know what took me so long! I've also been using the detox underarm soap and it is a great combo.
I love the deodorant from here! It doesn’t irritate my very sensitive skin, it glides on smoothly, and it the scents are not overpowering! Best of all it works well even in hot TX summers! Sometimes I need to reapply if it’s warm or I’m working out but other than that it usually lasts throughout the day. I can’t wait for them to come out with some new fragrances-hopefully soon!
I absolutely love this deodorant !! First natural deo to work and it smells amazing
I always order Earl Gray in the tube since 2017. First time I tried the zero waste product in Aloe. As usual, it’s a wonderful and effective product. I love that it is zero waste, but I wish that they can make refills for the tube. It’s just so convenient using the tube.
I have tried many many natural deodorants (Schmidt's, Lush, Tom's, Herban Cowboy, Jason, Meow Meow Tweet) and this is the first one that consistently works! I LOVE that it is packaging free and still easily glides on. The smell is not overly perfume-y but instead neutralizes my natural odor. And the bar lasts a very long time. I'm a super fan!
