Product Information

Many of these chemicals are thought to be harmful to your health and may irritate sensitive skin. It’s important that you read the ingredient list for all deodorants, even if they’re labeled “natural.” Natural and eco deodorants tend to work by neutralising odours and absorbing moisture, rather than preventing sweating. While plenty have moisture-absorbing ingredients, none are true antiperspirants. They come in a range of formats, including creams, pastes, crystals, roll-ons and pump-action spray formulas. You won't currently find most of these products in high street stores (aside from Holland and Barrett, which has a good range), so it can take a bit of time and research to figure out what's out there and what's best for you. Crystal deodorant is available as a stone, roll-on, or spray. Sometimes you can find it as a gel or powder. If you use a stone, it may come on its own or attached to a plastic base.

You might still want the reassurance of an antiperspirant for important events or busy days - so don't feel you have to commit to one or the other for good. Keep in mind that scented crystal deodorants could contain other ingredients. Carefully read the entire ingredient list. Wearing deodorant and antiperspirant may inhibit the release of toxins from your body. Preventing your body from sweating naturally is thought to lead to clogged pores and a buildup of toxins.

The verdict: is Salt of the Earth Classic crystal deodorant worth the money?

Potassium Alum is a natural mineral salt used in many CRYSTAL™ deodorants that controls odor without clogging pores.

The best time to apply the deodorant is right after you shower or bathe, when your underarms are freshly cleaned and still slightly damp. You can apply it to other body parts as well, but you may wish to have a separate stone for this. Making the switch at a time when you don't have lots of high-stress work, activities or social events will take the pressure off.Moisturising agents tend to be naturally derived options such as cacao or shea butter, coconut and almond oil. That's a hard no. Salt of the Earth products are made from natural mineral salts, so they're free from aluminium chlorohydrate/chloride. Some people might still prefer to opt for aluminium-free products, and if you're keen on plastic-free deodorant you might not have any choice, as most are aluminium-free.

The rise in popularity of eco deodorants has several catalysts, but for some it's been prompted by concerns about ingredients in conventional products, particularly aluminium.

Several brands offer this option and several also offer stronger or more gentle formulations (usually based on the amount of sodium bicarb) for different activity levels or those with more sensitive skin We've rounded up the key players, costs, eco and ethical claims, and some insights from users to help you decide. Excessive rubbing could cause irritation on skin. Please be gentle with your skin. Do not apply salt to open skin or wounds. If under medical supervision or pregnant, please consult with a physician before use. You can buy the crystal on its own, or the company also sells one encased in a plastic base. In both cases, you wet the product slightly before use or rub it on to damp skin. One user told us the deodorant had done a 'decent' job but that it sometimes needed to be reapplied during the day.

Another said they liked it for really hot days as you don't get the creamy residue you can get with some paste or cream formulas, though they did find it slightly more irritating on freshly shaved skin. This fragrance-free vegan deodorant (or 'anti-odorant' as it calls itself) comes in the form of a tube of cream that you apply to the underarms by hand. Stone crystal deodorant can last several months. However, it has the potential to develop an odor after some time. It will be less likely to develop an odor if your underarms are free of hair.
