Best-selling natural deodorant available at Woolworths: No Pong
Helping to reduce odors when you're excessively sweating, natural deos are free from nasties such as parabens and aluminum.
There's one brand Aussies keep stocking up on during their Woolies shop; No Pong.
The fastest-growing, best-selling deodorant of its kind, shoppers are loyal supporters and fans of the brand, saying they would 'definitely recommend,' to fellow customers.
Founded back in 2015 by Aussie duo Chris and Melanie, they are proud to have created an effective, plastic-free natural deodorant that shoppers actually love to use daily.
Currently on sale for just $6.95 (usually $9.95) there's a wide range of refreshing scents to choose from in this cream formula.
No Pong prides itself of being a brand that listens, learns, and improves.
Constantly looking for new ways to give back to their loyal fan base, the Aussie brand is committed to surprising and rewarding customers with something extra special.
Whether it's the launch of a new and exciting product, a gift in the mail or supporting a great cause, No Pong is determined to give back to shoppers.
' Biggest fan of No Pong over here! Their customer service is the best I have ever encountered. I purchased three different scents and liked two of them, but one didn't work for me at all,' one shopper recalls.
'I emailed No Pong and let them know what was happening, and they listened, valued my experience, and sent me a new tin of a scent that worked for me at no charge.'
No Pong is a cream product, generally applied with your fingers.
Midwife and Co-Founder of No Pong, Melanie McVean, says although many think it's strange to touch their armpits with their fingers, she is 'encouraging everyone to make touching their armpits part of their daily routine'.
'We apply moisturisers, sunscreens and many other products with our hands, so why not touch our armpits to apply deodorant the same way?' she tells Best Picks.
Over the years, many customers say they have discovered lumps as a result of checking their armpits, thanks to No Pong.
'They've found lumps that they otherwise wouldn't have found,' Melanie says.
'Some of these turned out to be sliding door moments.'
Melanie says lymph nodes play an important role in our body's immune system.
'Normally you can't feel them but when they're swollen, they're more noticeable,' she says.
'It is a great marker that our body is fighting or reacting to something and if it persists, it is a sign that it should be checked out by a healthcare professional.'
Shoppers are loving No Pong's line of natural deodorants, calling them 'absolutely amazing'.
'Great product, lovely scents and convenient tins to carry in your bag,' one shopper commented.
'I am grateful I discovered No Pong as I do not like the nasties in commercial deodorants. It's amazing,' another added.
amazing stuff,' a third shopper wrote.

ASX rollercoaster: After a major market melt-up, a reckoning looms
The Australian share market has been on something of a tear over the past few months, up 11 per cent since the depths of Donald Trump's Kamikaze tariff attack, cresting at an all-time high Friday. It's an impressive run given the economy is barely limping along, interest rates are only ever so slightly on the way down and the global economy is on tenterhooks. Such lofty heights amid persistent uncertainty suggest this bull run has more to do with FOMO than fundamentals and vis ulnerable to any hint of bad news. How else to explain a drop of as much as 2.9 per cent for our largest bank, CBA, 3.4 per cent nearly and 2.75 for ANZ and NAB? The sell-off has been sheeted home to the Japanese election, where the ruling Liberal Democratic Party lost its majority in the upper house of parliament. It's the first time there hasn't been a governing majority since 1955. Market watchers suggest it could derail Japan's economic trajectory, given its high debt levels. That issue seems a long way from Australian banks, which derive the majority of their revenues from domestic lending. Aussie banks were up 30 per cent for the financial year ended, driven by the 46 per cent gain for Commbank. Australia's largest bank has been seen as something of a safe haven in times of uncertainty, popular with domestic and international investors alike for its strong balance sheet and stable earnings. But the company is not shooting the lights out in terms of growth, meaning investors are pushing up company valuations without worrying if it is being met by associated profits. 'CBA is the extreme version of that. On Friday, it was at record levels, and this is despite several years of falling earnings and significant uncertainty around what may happen internationally with tariffs,' said AMP chief economist Shane Oliver. It might be that the FOMO trade is going elsewhere. While banks were sold, miners were gold, with Rio Tinto up 1.5 per cent, Fortescue 1.35 per cent and South 32 up 4.33 per cent. There may also be a bet building on China. Stronger oil and metals prices in recent weeks have stirred speculation Beijing could unleash new stimulus. The iron ore price hit a four-month high thanks to a Chinese plan to build a hydroelectric dam in Tibet. But the base metal has been on the upward slope for four weeks, not due to further stimulus talks however, but a forced consolidation of the sector. In a market that is on the hunt for good news, investors seem to be ready to bid on any opportunities. 'Maybe the market's stepping that out,' Dr Oliver said, though he cautioned that recent Chinese GDP data didn't support that optimism. 'There was nothing in there suggesting China's going to jump in with a big stimulus. I'm less optimistic than the market on that one.' A higher iron ore price will certainly be welcome for miners, but a lot of the market is still relying on a bump from the Reserve Bank cutting interest rates. While that will be positive for corporates, the market seems very confident. Across the ASX200 the price earnings ratio - a metric that shows how much investors are willing to pay for each dollar of a company's profit - is 23 times and well above the long term average of around 17. It is also heading higher, raising questions about whether investors are shovelling money into stocks beyond the bargain hunting in the wake of Trump's Liberation Day tariff announcement. 'Share markets aren't cheap anymore,' Dr Oliver said. 'Maybe they were back in April… but they're not cheap anymore. Valuation measures certainly suggest the market is somewhat expensive.' A similar story is playing out in the US, where the markets have hit new records. That is significantly driven by the dominant tech firms but also in the hope that two key events occur: The US Federal Reserve cuts interest rates, and Trump backs down on tariffs. US markets edged higher on suggestions by one Fed member that rates should be cut, even though Fed chair Powell has indicated no change until the tariff impact can be calculated. The other big hope is the TACO trade. Investors are banking on Trump Always Chickening Out, presuming he will cave in the face of economic fallout. It's a risky strategy, given the still very punitive tariff levies spelled out in recent letters. But the key indicator of market risk, the VIX measure of market volatility, is not much higher than before Trump came to office at 16.41. In April, when tariffs were announced, it spiked above 52. 'That's another indication of the extreme optimism around the TACO trade,' Dr Oliver said. That sets up the current earnings season as a key test of investor confidence. Companies will need to show profit growth that justifies their expanded multiples or risk sharp repricing. While investment firms are banking on those earnings staying benign, early signs suggest company insiders are already wary. According to data from just 10 per cent of corporate officers are buying their own company's stock. That is well below the 10-year average in the high 20s and far off the peaks above 40 per cent recorded in recent years. It leaves investors with quite the dilemma. Sit the current enthusiasm out and miss out on the steady melt up or bank on a combination of factors all working in unison: a tariff climbdown, a Fed rate cut, a Chinese stimulus, and no other destabilising factors. It's heady stuff, and at these levels, markets can easily run out of oxygen.

Demolition of businesses begins at popular Bali surf spot Bingin Beach, voiding bookings of Australian travellers
The demolition of businesses along a Bali beach has sparked devastation among locals and caused travel nightmares for Australians. More than 40 businesses along the popular surf spot Bingin Beach, in the Pecatu Village in the south of Bali by Indonesian authorities began being demolished on Monday morning. These include villas, homestays, restaurants and other tourist facilities. The government-mandated demolitions began after negotiations between business owners and the Badung Regency Government failed. The demolitions had been ordered as a result of an investigation by Bali's civil police unit, which found more than 40 buildings in the area had been violating spatial planning laws and building regulations. Australian travellers who planned to stay at the destination have reportedly had their bookings voided according to Head of the Badung PP Police, I Gusti Agung Ketut Suryanegara, said police had received a warrant "for the demolition of the violating building at Bingin Beach", the Bali Sun reported. Several businesses had been issued demolition notices in the last two months, giving them time to make adjustments to adhere with building regulations. Regent of Badung Adi Arnawa said despite widespread public outcry, the government actions would still go ahead. 'Our community in Pecatu is very aware that they carry out activities on the land. So I hope no one comes to say this and that, pretending to be a saviour, to be a hero. People are aware when building on land that does not belong to them, so it is natural for them to leave the land,' Regent Arnawa stated. Bingin Beach has been a top spot for surfers for decades including Aussies, while American surfing champion Kelly Slater has voiced his displeasure about the future of the hotspot. 'Awful to hear and see that the beachfront at Bingin in Bali has been bought up and all the local (eateries) and other businesses will be demolished to make room for some kind of beach club and not sure what else?' he said. 'Bali has been completely mishandled and ruined by foreign interests in recent years. 'I hope something can be done to retain the culture and beauty of what attracted everyone there in the first place.' A local business owner also voiced their concerns over the developments. "In the past, this place was only a place for fishermen's activities. When tourists start to come, we slowly expand. Building at Bingin Beach is certainly not an easy thing. In addition to extra effort, the cost is not small," he said. 'If we are considered wrong because we occupy the country's land, then where is the country when everything has been running for over 30 years? Why is it done? Why is it that only the public is required to obey the rules? Why is the government itself negligent? We hope the government will provide a solution.'

Young Brit ‘cannot believe' IGA earnings compared to UK wage
A British backpacker has been left stunned by her earnings as a causal supermarket worker in remote WA compared to her earnings in the UK. 29-year-old Lauren from Liverpool quit her job as a support worker earlier this year and flew to the other side of the world to explore Australia. She secured a job stacking shelves at IGA in Derby in May, according to Daily Mail. The young Brit posted a video on TikTok that quickly went viral — breaking down her pay packet from the popular Aussie supermarket, explaining that she earns much more than when she was working gruelling 60-hour weeks in the UK. 'My wages in Australia compared to my wages at home need to be spoken about,' she said in the video. She explained that she earned £12.50 (around $23) an hour as a support worker in England, working 60 hours a week including bank holidays and public holidays, and brought home about £2,500 per month (around $4700). In Australia, the minimum rate of pay for stacking shelves at IGA on weekdays is $34 an hour and those rates are even higher on evenings and weekends. 'After 6pm, Monday to Friday, and on Saturdays, my rate of pay is $38 an hour, which is the equivalent to about £19. The British backpacker has explored various places in Australia, including Melbourne, Cairns and Broome. Credit: @laurensadventures / TikTok 'And on public holidays, my rate of pay is $64 an hour, which is equivalent to about £30 an hour. 'I just cannot believe the difference in wages. It's just insane' she said in the video. She explained that she will be earning more in a supermarket doing 40 hours a week than she did as a support worker working 60 hour weeks. The 29-year-old is aware that there is a higher cost of living in Australia but she still feels like she is better off overall. 'I know accommodation can be expensive here, and that's part of why the pay is higher,' she said. She elaborated that most of the time if you come to Australia as a single person and share with housemates the costs can be reduced, especially in more remote areas like WA's Kimberly region. 'I've decided to experience outback life, so I've come to Derby. My accommodation is $165 a week — around £80,' she said. The video has racked up close to 700,0000 views and was flooded with hundreds of comments from fellow Brits, some of whom agreed with her. 'And this is why everyone is leaving the UK and not only that it's going to s..t, I'm emigrating in December to Perth and I can't wait for the better work/life balance,' one person said. The young Brit has emphasised the other elements of WA she enjoys including sunsets, frozen yogurt and Aboriginal art. Credit: @laurensadventures / TikTok 'Fellow scouser here, how beautiful is Western Australia though 😍 enjoy and get that bank 💰,' a second commented. 'I miss that place, I did the same 20 years ago and I urge you not to come back,' another Brit added. Others were quick to disagree with her stance. 'Give your head a wobble. The cost of living is double over there that's why you need more money,' one person said. 'You can't just compare wages. Brits can travel all over Europe and for a couple hours and for so cheap get a European holiday, would cost Aussie families 30k not to mention the price of housing in Australia,' another replied.
