Collection: Deodorant

While there are no strict definitions of what makes a deodorant 'clean', all of the deodorants we offer follow our strict clean standards and do not contain any of the 2700+ ingredients that have been identified as being potentially harmful for the skin or the planet. When it comes to natural vs organic deodorants, the main difference lies in the certification process. Organic deodorants go through a rigorous certification process by the USDA, ensuring that they meet strict standards for ingredients and manufacturing processes. Natural deodorants, on the other hand, may use natural or naturally derived ingredients but do not have a set legal definition.

Regular deodorants often contain aluminum, an antiperspirant that blocks sweat glands to prevent wetness. While aluminum has been used for many years, there is a growing concern of the long-term effects on our health. That is what makes clean deodorant products different and so sought after, as they rely on ingredients like baking soda or arrowroot powder to absorb moisture and neutralize odor-causing bacteria. With our industry-leading guidelines in The Credo Clean Standard™ and careful vetting process, all the clean deodorants we offer are effective, safer, and more sustainable.

Aluminum free deodorant and aluminum free antiperspirants can be just as effective and results-driven for odor control, as they include baking soda and coconut oil that neutralize odor-causing bacteria. When it comes to sweat management, the ingredients used only absorb the moisture, they do not block the sweat glands like regular deodorants.

Whether it’s a deodorant for women or deodorant for men, nature offers a range of effective, skin-friendly ingredients. The most common ones include baking soda, which neutralizes odor-causing bacteria, coconut oil which moisturizes and keeps pits healthy, and shea butter to help with underarm irritation. These natural and antibacterial ingredients work together to combat odor and promote healthy underarms, making clean deodorants a great choice for those seeking a safer and effective alternative.

Many of the clean deodorants we offer at Credo Beauty are suitable for sensitive skin, as they are packed with ingredients that keep odor and sweat at bay without irritating the skin under your arm. We recommend looking for products that are fragrance-free, such as CORPUS’s N° Green Natural Deodorant, and products such as KOSAS’s Chemistry AHA Serum Deodorant, that include soothing and anti-bacterial ingredients such as aloe vera or calendula.

Because they don’t contain aluminum, clean deodorant products absorb the sweat and focus on odor control, rather than plugging the sweat glands. Clean deodorants might require more frequent application, but they offer a safer and effective alternative for many. Experiment and find a clean option that works for your activity level.
