Baking Soda-Free Deodorants

If you’ve ever used a natural deodorant and ended up with redness, stinging, or a rash—baking soda could be the reason. While it’s a common odor-fighter, it can disrupt your skin’s pH and cause irritation, especially for those with sensitive skin. Ethique’s baking soda-free deodorant is formulated to be gentler while still keeping odor at bay.

We swapped baking soda for a smarter, skin-friendly trio:

• Magnesium hydroxide to neutralize odor-causing bacteria
• Zinc oxide helps to reduce bacterial growth
• Bamboo powder to absorb moisture. Plus, we use nourishing ingredients like coconut oil to support soft, happy skin—all without compromising performance.

Think smooth, not sticky. The bar melts slightly on contact, giving you a creamy texture that’s easy to apply and quick to absorb. No white marks, no clumps—just clean, moisturized underarms that smell great and feel even better.

No, and that’s by design. Our natural deodorants don’t block sweat like antiperspirants—they work with your body to fight odor while letting your sweat glands breathe. Ingredients like bamboo powder help absorb moisture, so you feel dry(ish), even without aluminum or baking soda.

Very much so. Like all Ethique products, our deodorant bars are plastic-free, home-compostable, and made with lots of sustainably sourced natural ingredients. It’s good for your skin—and even better for the planet.
