A lot of people struggle to find cruelty-free deodorant. I often see the same handful of cruelty-free deodorant suggestions over and over again, but there are actually a surprising amount of cruelty-free deodorant options out there.

In this post, I break down the cruelty-free brands that offer different kinds of cruelty-free deodorant.
It can be hard to navigate which deodorants are cruelty-free. Hopefully, this guide will help you find the best cruelty-free deodorant for you!

Hello,
It’s not Logical harmony approved yet, however there’s this brand Love, Beauty, and Planet at Target.
They claim to be plant based, vegan, no aluminum, and other things.
I’ve been using the murumuru butter and rose. It’s a really good one I think, just have to reapply through the day.
Again, it’s no where on the site. I do believe it’s a newer brand.
Unfortunately, they have told myself and others that they do test on animals when required by law. Because of this, I don’t consider them to be cruelty-free and they have been on the Brands to Avoid list for some time.
What about Native Deodorant? It says on their website that they’re cruelty free.
Toms of Maine has a new antiperspirant stick and I absolutely LOVE it!! I’ve tried many natural deodorants but this is my favorite because it helps with how much you sweat!
