There are currently three unisex scents available, and the subscription option is easy to change online. 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. There's a range of unisex scents available, largely based on essential oils such as peppermint, citrus, rosemary and bergamot, as well as gender-specific options. Aluminium spray cans often have some plastic parts, such as nozzles and lids, that are harder to recycle, while aerosol sprays have their own environmental implications. 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.

This unisex Unscented Natural Deodorant Spray by Salt of the Earth offers long-lasting, effective protection from body odour and is made from 100% natural ingredients. 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. Salt of the Earth says a 1-litre spray refill uses 70% less plastic than buying 10 individual 100ml sprays.That's a hard no. Salt of the Earth products are made from natural mineral salts, so they're free from aluminium chlorohydrate/chloride.

They come in a range of formats, including creams, pastes, crystals, roll-ons and pump-action spray formulas. 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. There are sensitive formulas available. You might also wish to experiment with alternative hair-removal methods such as epilation or waxing, which might cause less irritation as they are longer lasting. NATURAL DEODORANT - Formulated without synthetic additives, the Salt of the Earth Crystal Classic Natural Deodorant is 100% natural, gentle on your skin and made with natural mineral salts.

Also, the lid is made out of regular plastic - the company says that when it tried to design a sugarcane lid, it crumbled. There are also fears that aluminium found in everyday items such as aluminium cans, antacids and antiperspirants could cause Alzheimer's. But the Alzheimer's Society says: 'No convincing relationship between amount of exposure or aluminium in the body and the development of Alzheimer's disease has been established.' 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.”As for its eco credentials, Akt has a stylish recyclable aluminium tube and cap, and comes in cardboard boxes.
