Saltair rating: 4/5 stars

A Saltair reviewer said: “To preface, I’ve tried about a dozen different natural deodorants of every brand with every ingredient imaginable – baking soda, magnesium, charcoal, arrowroot powder, the list goes on. Every single one gave me a HORRIBLE rash within about a week or two. The last one I tried landed me at the dermatologist needing prescription ointment. This is the first one I’ve tried that I’ve had absolutely no reaction to. I sweat a little, but definitely not as much as I expected. More importantly, I do not smell. I live in Texas and just tested this deodorant at an outdoor event yesterday (101 degrees in Houston), and that’s the reason I’m writing this review. I didn’t smell. I honestly couldn’t believe it.”

For a completely invisible formula, this eucalyptus-scented deodorant stays away from alcohol and harsh chemicals, but still battles body odor all day long.

Finally found one product to combat perspiration, skin discoloration and maintain my skin’s natural texture.”

An ELLE contributor says: “Natural deodorants don’t normally work that well for me since I tend to be sweaty, but the one thing I really like about the Kosas Sport Chemistry is how gentle and cooling it is on the skin.
