Shortly after I applied my Native Natural deodorant yesterday, I started to notice a burning sensation all up in my pits. I also began to notice red bumps and just overall irritation, but it felt different then razor burn. When I started searching around on Google, I found that it’s a fairly common occurrence when it comes to natural deodorant (especially for those of us with sensitive skin).
I shared my pit rash over in my IG stories (haha), and I was SHOCKED at how many people responded that they too, had experienced a rash from natural deodorants (many specifically from the Native brand). I also learned that typically baking soda is the ingredient to blame for the reaction.
I rounded up all the recommendations for natural deodorants that are BAKING SODA FREE, that were the most suggested from my IG followers. I looked up each brand to validate that they don’t have baking soda, and have high reviews.
I will share the list and links to each one below so that you can dive in to your own research on each one, and hopefully this helps you find a natural deodorant that won’t cause a rash or irritation. Because let me tell you, this has not been a pleasant experience, and something I hope to avoid in the future!
