The Ultimate Cruelty-Free Deodorant Guide
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. From a classic stick deodorant formula, pots of deodorant cream, deodorant wipes, spray deodorant and everything in between there are lots and lots of options. 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.
I had recently tried schmitds and it irritated my armpits. I just saw at walgreens crystal has a new invisible solid bar, and so far no irritation. I am hoping it really works for me!
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!
hi tashina!
thank you for this post! i was wondering if the brand “piperwai” was also a good cruelty free option?
EO products!
I swore by primal pit paste, but then got a baking soda allergy. I am now using meow meow tweet baking soda free paste, but still get irritated. I will have to check into the primer!
This is so useful! I’ve been on the lookout recently for more cruelty-free deodorants so hopefully many of these are available in the UK. 🙂
i started geting irritation after using an expensive stick for a couple of years, and someone recommended ‘crystal essence’ roll-on in vanilla jasmine scent as a great cruelty-free option that works for them. i have found it at walgreen’s and on amazon. i’ve tried that scent and their ‘lavender and white tea scent. They really work! that epensive stick wirked so-so but these give me superior odor control and they are inexpensive and easy to find. i love the wipes too. i’ll use one at night, just to freshen up, esoecially in the summer. i don’t usually even need to, but it feels so good and cooling before bed. i don’t even re-apply the roll-on after that, and in the morning, no stink! i hope these keep working for me! they are the ones listed above as ‘crystal.’ i haven’t tried the stick, so i don’t know how that works, but the scented roll-ons and wipes wirk great for me.
