Aluminum-free deodorants
Comparison of 4 budget-friendly aluminum-free deodorants
BIOBAZA FEEL GOOD
Biobaza Feel Good deo stick from the Croatian manufacturer Magdis contains the natural aroma of green tea and grapefruit essential oil, which, according to the manufacturer, have an effect on unpleasant odors and ensure long-lasting freshness. The composition does not contain harmful ingredients such as alcohol, aluminum chlorohydrate, preservatives, parabens, artificial fragrances, and dyes, which makes it suitable for sensitive skin.
Composition: PROPANEDIOL, AQUA, GLYCERIN, SODIUM STEARATE, CAPRYLYL GLYCOL, PHENETHYL ALCOHOL, CITRUS PARADISI PEEL OIL, DISODIUM EDTA, AROMA*(green tea), LINALOOL, LIMONENE, GERANIOL, CITRAL, CITRONELOL, HEXYL CINNAMAL, *Natural.
Biobazin deodorant in a stick shape perfectly adheres to the armpit, spreads easily, and its firm texture allows you to control the amount of application, so it will last for a long time. After application, it is immediately absorbed into the skin, does not crumble, and does not leave any marks on clothes. The smell is herbal, refreshing, not too intense but really pleasant and moderate. I applied it to clean my skin after showering and, on these not-so-hot days, it protects me all day without reapplying. I will buy this deodorant again because it delighted me with its effectiveness, fresh but mild smell, and practical shape. The price of Biobaza’s Feel Good stick is excellent value for money.
Packaging: deo stick of 50 ml

Weleda 24h Deo Roll-on Nar
Weleda’s liquid deodorant in a stick, according to the manufacturer, protects against unpleasant odors for 24 hours and does not contain aluminum. Unlike many Weleda products that I use and love every day, this deodorant did not excite me. First, the smell of deodorant (pomegranate) mixed with the smell of sweat does not make a pleasant smell combination, on the contrary. The deodorant roller is too small for the armpit and multiple applications are necessary. Due to the excessive leakage of the contents from the bottle, you have to be careful not to apply too much and get your clothes wet. It contains alcohol, which can cause irritation in extremely sensitive skin immediately after depilation. After application, it takes time to dry to wear. Does not leave marks on clothes.
I applied it on clean and dry skin in the morning after showering and had to repeat the application during the day to keep the smell of sweat “under control”. Too liquid texture, small roller, and unattractive smell with not so long-lasting protection against the smell of sweat prevailed in my decision not to buy the deodorant again.
Composition: Water (Aqua), Alcohol, Triethyl Citrate, Glycerin, Limonene*, Sodium Caproyl/Lauroyl Lactylate, Punica Granatum Fruit Juice, Glycyrrhiza Glabra (Licorice) Root Extract, Hamamelis Virginiana (Witch Hazel) Water, Acacia Senegal Gum, Xanthan Gum, Citric Acid, Phytic Acid, Fragrance (Parfum)*, Linalool*, Citronellol*, Benzyl Benzoate*, Benzyl Salicylate*, Geraniol*, Citral*, Eugenol*, Coumarin*, Farnesol* +organic ingredient

Balea deodorant love melon (DM brand)
Bale’s aluminum-free love melon is a liquid roll-on deodorant that, according to the manufacturer, provides 24-hour protection against the smell of sweat. The first thing that turned me off was its smell (watermelon) because I don’t like sweet fruity smells. As for effectiveness, even though it’s not hot yet, I didn’t have to reapply it during the day after applying it in the morning. The packaging is practical, and the price of 1.18 euros is more than affordable. I won’t buy it again just because of the smell that I don’t like.

Neutro Roberts Dermazero
Neutro Roberts dermazero deodorant without aluminum is a gentle protection against the smell of sweat, and due to its composition, which is adapted to even the most sensitive skin (panthenol in the composition), it is also intended for children from 9 years old. Neutro Roberts deodorant has a firm texture and white color and spreads easily and does not crumble. Its smell is mild and pleasant, and the manufacturer states that it protects against the unpleasant smell of sweat for up to 48 hours.
I applied it to the clean and dry armpit area in the morning after showering, and one application on inactive days was quite enough for me. Use after depilation will not irritate the skin and cause any unwanted reactions such as redness or burning of the armpit area. Does not leave marks on clothes.
