5 Natural Deodorants We Love (& Why You Will Too!)

Are you thinking of switching over to a safer choice of deodorant for health, environmental or ethical reasons?
terra20 is known for being Canada’s one-stop shop for healthier lifestyle choices, and many people who visit us are looking to avoid common deodorant and antiperspirant chemicals like aluminum, parabens, formaldehyde, triclosan and many more. Especially because the skin under the arms can be super-sensitive and prone to itchiness and rashes.
Others want to skip the potentially toxic nasties and also ensure that the choices they make are aligned with their own ethical beliefs.
But the one thing that everyone wants is a deodorant that works!
Check out our Top 5 best-sellers. (And – bonus! – they’re free of aluminum-based compounds, which are the leading cause of those icky yellow underarm stains on your favourite shirts and dresses!)
Purelygreat
This all-natural deodorant cream uses only three simple ingredients (plus essential oils for scent). And, it goes a long way as just a small dab will do ya! Available in lovely scents like Citrus, Lavender and Minty Patchouli, the cream is all natural and water-based, so if it happens to contact clothing fabric, it’s easy to wash out. Every Purelygreat deodorant is non-GMO, vegan and gluten-free.
Earth Wise
Herban Cowboy
Using only certified US organic and all-natural ingredients in its formulations, these vegan-friendly stick deodorants dry fast and provide long-lasting protection. Little wonder that the Herban Cowboy line is found on Hollywood sets, including TV shows like Dancing With the Stars.
Green Beaver
We’re big fans of Green Beaver in nearby Hawksbury! All of their stick deodorants are vegan. We love that that the Tea Tree Deodorant contains natural citrus enzymes and lichen, which help control odours. It also incorporates soothing chamomile and aloe that helps sensitive, damaged or burning skin, usually caused by shaving.
Lafes Crystals
Staff Pick
New to terra20! Endorsed by natural lifestyle guru Alicia Silverstone, and featured on NBC's Today Show and Fox News, Schmidt’s is a line of natural cream-based deodorants that provides all-day odour protection and wetness relief. The scents are amazing – think Bergamot & Lime, Lavender & Sage, Cedarwood & Juniper and many more.
