The Best Aluminum and Baking Soda Free Deodorant
If you’ve been searching for a deodorant that’s free of both aluminum and baking soda, you’ve probably realized how limited the options are. Most natural deodorants skip aluminum but still rely on baking soda—which can be too much for truly sensitive skin.
Why Go Aluminum and Baking Soda Free?
- Aluminum blocks sweat glands—our bodies were designed to sweat
- Baking soda can cause irritation for some people, especially in sensitive areas (though most people do great with it)
- If your skin doesn’t tolerate baking soda well, you may experience redness, itching, or bumps
What Ingredients to Look for Instead
- Magnesium Hydroxide – Fights odor without altering skin pH
- Organic Coconut Oil – Naturally antibacterial and moisturizing
- Probiotics – Support your skin’s healthy microbiome
- Non-nano Zinc Oxide – Fights odor, and soothes skin and calms irritation
These gentle, effective ingredients work together to keep you fresh without the side effects of aluminum or baking soda.

FAQs: Aluminum & Baking Soda Free Deodorants
Is baking soda bad for your skin?
Not for everyone! Baking soda works well for many people—but for some, it can cause irritation. That’s why we offer both Original (with baking soda) and Sensitive (baking soda free) formulas.
What happens when I switch to a baking soda free deodorant?
If you’re used to deodorants with baking soda or aluminum, you might notice a short adjustment period as your body adapts. Learn more about the natural deodorant detox here.
Do aluminum free deodorants really work?
Yes! Our formulas neutralize odor-causing bacteria naturally, without blocking sweat glands or using harsh chemicals. Magnesium hydroxide and probiotics keep odor in check—without toxins.
What if I need something stronger?
If you want more odor protection but still need a gentle formula, try our Extra Strength Sensitive formula—it contains a tiny amount of baking soda (1/3 the amount of our Original).
Is this a good option after shaving?
Yes! Our Sensitive Formula is free of baking soda and essential oils, so it's gentle enough for freshly shaved skin. Many customers even use it after laser hair removal or waxing.
