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.

This deodorant works great! Do you think you might ever make a refill option for the plastic container?
Have been using this product for about a week now after using regular stick deodorant for years. I was hesitant at first, but today I put it to the ultimate test. 8 hours of hard labor in 100+ degree weather. I was absolutely soaked in perspiration and smelled of nothing but gentle bergamot. Zero waste packaging and biodegradable shipping products. I’m an instant loyal customer.
I like this deodorant a lot, but the scent isn’t as strong as I like. This is obviously a preference cuz most people like unscented. I’m was nuts very attached to the old one I had that smelled amazing, the fig one. So good.
I was skeptical about whether this deodorant would work, as I've had little success with other natural deodorants. I bought the detox bar and started using this deodorant and love it! Even under extreme conditions - hiking for miles in the heat of the summer or doing demolition in my basement - it worked. I also love the smell! Highly recommend!
I have had issues with deodorants all of my life. They either did not work to cover the BO or just made me super irritated. No Tox Life deodorant had been a life saver. I could not imagine ever using anything else every again. Does not irritate and absolutely no BO. Worth every cent!
Discovered these deodorants about 4 years ago while traveling in CA. Was impressed by the ingredients and the reviews. Bought 1 tube. Lasted way longer than the 6 months suggested. Ordered 8 - one for all adults in family. They all loved it too. Have continued to do that. It does seem something has recently changed - less choices, doesn’t last as long and on very hot or high humidity days is less effective than previously. Hope these problems can be addressed as we all have been very happy with these products.
I tried, y'all. I tried to go for the cheaper stuff. I tried so many natural deodorants off the shelves. I even went back to non-natural for a little. And they ALL stopped working an hour after I put it on. So I got desperate and came back to this brand. I first tried this deodorant with the Earl Grey version in 2019 and it lasted FOREVER (seriously, one tube lasted months and months) because all you need is 1-2 swipes and it works a full 24+ hours (for me, anyway). I was bummed to see they only had the unscented in stock, but I needed it STAT and purchased anyway - so worth it! I prefer the tube version rather than the block one for travel purposes. This stuff is truly magical. 12/10 recommend.
