11 Best Natural Deodorants for Men of 2024

Native's formula features tapioca starch and baking soda to neutralize odor and absorb moisture, keeping armpits smelling fresh all day. In road testing, we found it particularly effective, noting that the scent is long-lasting and it doesn't irritate skin, even after shaving. We love the robust unisex scent range, featuring palatable and not overly intense fragrances that mask odor without being overbearing. However, those with sensitive skin may want to look for a formula without baking soda, as it can be irritating to some.

Speed Stick's signature scent is an ineffable, aquatically masculine scent that could very well be a budget replacement for some high-end colognes. Online reviewers rave about it, though some have pointed out a recent reformulation may have decreased the scent's longevity. Still, at the price point, having to use more throughout the day is hardly a concern.

For the environmentally conscious, the burden of plastic generated in consumables like deodorant can weigh heavily. That's why we love this refillable deodorant from Dove, which is formulated without aluminum. The deodorant comes in a sleek metal case that can be refilled with one of two available scents. While reviewers enjoy the idea of a refillable deodorant, they were also quick to note that the formula is quite fragile and can easily break off of the component, so be gentle as you apply.

If you've ever wanted to put deodorant anywhere but the armpits, you'll find the traditional stick format to be a bit cumbersome. Lume offers a solution by offering their aluminum-free deodorant in a cream, so you can easily spread it wherever. In GH Beauty Lab testing, 81% of testers reported it offered long-lasting odor control without staining clothes. Amazon reviewers have reported that straight out of the tube, this deodorant can have an unpleasant smell that dissipates as it dries, leaving long-lasting odor protection in its wake.

Tom's of Maine is a goliath in the natural products domain, and the unique formulation of this deodorant is a shining example of why they're so well known. This deodorant stick harnesses the antimicrobial power of hops (the flower of Humulus lupulus, commonly used to endow beer with its aromatic qualities), using the extract to help reduce bacterial activity in the armpits (one of the causes of stench) and replace it with one of eight scents for men. The odor protection may not last up to the claimed 24 hours, however, according to some online reviewers.

Every Man Jack's natural deodorant smells amazing — for an amazing price. In our road testing, we found this product applied smoothly to underarms and didn't cause irritation even on freshly shaven armpits. We also loved how it didn't transfer stains onto clothing. This formula contains lichen extract, however, which has been shown to cause sensitizing reactions in those with an allergy, so steer clear if you know you're allergic or have particularly sensitive skin.

Many natural deodorants come with the user complaint of not being as effective or long-lasting as their aluminum-laden counterparts. PATRICKS ND1 sets a new standard for longevity, and has online reviewers raving about it. "Finally a natural deodorant that lasts and does not irritate!" said one reviewer, among a sea of those enthused by its refined, light scent and impressive duration. But, all of this comes at a heftier price tag than other deodorants.

Not a fan of stick deodorant? No need to fret — natural deodorants are plentiful in spray form too, and this one from OffCourt is a serious contender for spray aficionados. The aluminum-free body spray isn't a throwback to the musky, nauseating sprays of the high school locker room, coming in three refined, light scents that the brand encourages you to spray anywhere on the body. The formula contains Xylityl Sesquicaprylate, an antimicrobial deodorizing compound, to effectively control odors, though it's worth mentioning that the high concentration of alcohol in this product may make it unsuitable for sensitive skin.

We loved the formulation of Ursa Major's Hoppin' Fresh Deodorant so much that we couldn't help but feature it in both our roundup of natural deodorants for women and this one. The ingredient list boasts components like aloe vera and eucalyptus to soothe skin, as well as hops extract to naturally deodorize. We also love the unisex, fresh scent, which is free of synthetic or added fragrance but rather a result of its listed ingredients — a major win for those with sensitive skin. Although this deodorant has tapioca starch to help absorb excess sweat, some online reviewers noted that it didn't keep them as dry as other natural deodorants, so if you're a profuse sweater you may want to look elsewhere.

Though we love the odor-controlling properties of baking soda, it can be harsh on sensitive skin. This formula contains several conditioning ingredients like shea butter and coconut oil, making it a great pick for men with dry underarms. We were also impressed with the scent range of this deodorant, offering unorthodox, elevated fragrances to keep you smelling fresh. While Amazon reviewers were impressed with the extensive odor control of this deodorant, some pointed out that this formula has a uniquely soft, sticky texture that can be jarring.

If you're looking to refine skin's texture as you deodorize, look no further than Kosas' AHA Serum Deodorant. We love the formula's novelty for its inclusion of alpha hydroxy acids like lactic and mandelic acids as exfoliants. We're also fond of the inclusion of hyaluronic acid and aloe vera to moisturize and soothe irritation. Though not explicitly marketed toward men, we think the stand-out formulation is worthwhile anyone to try.
