‘I legitimately smelled like onion': TikTok users are ditching natural deodorant and going back to antiperspirant
It's hot. Everyone is sweating, and anyone who chooses to venture into the world armed with nothing but natural deodorant knows they're playing a risky game. But online, the backlash against natural deodorant has begun. 'When someone tells you their deodorant is natural (but you already knew),' TikToker Mads Mitch posted back in May. The comments section was split: Some natural-deodorant defenders loyally stood by their favorites, while others pointed out they probably didn't have good—or honest—friends. For those self-aware enough to know they stink, many have switched back to the hard stuff. 'I legitimately smelled like onion,' one TikTok user said of her natural deodorant journey. Another hopped on the 'Hozier's Yell' trend, writing: 'Going back to my clinical strength 72 hour secret after a year of convincing myself I didn't smell while using a million different natural deodorants.' The natural deodorant wave—'Big Stinky,' as some have called it —went mainstream in recent years after countless articles detailing the supposedly harmful effects of antiperspirants gained traction. Because antiperspirants stop odor by physically clogging pores with ingredients like aluminum chlorohydrate or aluminum zirconium, these ingredients were quickly labeled 'toxic' by natural beauty advocates. Some even claimed they could lead to Alzheimer's disease or cancer. Aluminum-free options soon flooded the market, from Salt & Stone's popular Santal & Vetiver scent to Wild's refillable sticks. Formulated with 'natural' ingredients like baking soda, shea, and coconut oil, they promised to keep wearers both smelling fresh and toxin-free. The only downside? Most of the time, they don't work. Now, a growing number of people are making the switch back to the tried-and-true: Degree, Secret, Dove, and—better yet—men's deodorants (which, for some reason, always seem to work better) and encouraging others to join them. While former natural-deodorant wearers will be relieved to no longer walk around with their elbows glued to their sides, there's more good news: science has found no definitive evidence that regular deodorants or antiperspirants are any worse for your health than natural deodorants. Ultimately, the deodorant you choose to wear is a matter of personal preference. Just make sure you're considerate of those around you.

Why 'brilliant' $10 item with 10,000 five-star reviews is flying off shelves (and it's sold at Woolworths)
Daily Mail journalists select and curate the products that feature on our site. If you make a purchase via links on this page we will earn commission - learn more An Aussie cult favourite has racked up more than 10,000 five-star reviews around the world - and it's not hard to see why. One of the top-rated natural deodorants in Australia has unveiled a chic new makeover with the launch of its sleek, limited-edition Midnight range - a collection of four matte black tins featuring the brand's two bestsellers and two new fragrances. Celebrating its 10-year anniversary, No Pong has long been the go-to for those seeking a natural alternative to combatting body odour. Available to buy direct online or at Woolworths, the range includes the original, sell-out bicarb-based product, as well as low bicarb and bicarb-free options for sensitive underarms. The newly unveiled scents are Beach Shackin' Bicarb-Free - a fresh, breezy blend of eucalyptus and lime inspired by post-surf chill sessions, and Midnight Jazz Bicarb-Free, a smooth, smoky and gender-neutral fragrance with earthy depth and subtle sophistication. They join fan favourites, OG Original and Lime Legend Bicarb-Free, in subtle new matte tins, designed to be a stylish addition to your bathroom vanity or a subtle take-anywhere item to throw in your gym or handbag. No Pong was founded by Sydney-based couple Melanie McVean and Chris Caley in 2015, with a mission to create a genuinely effective natural deodorant that didn't contain aluminium, parabens, or synthetic fragrances. The Midnight Range was created in response to customer feedback from those wanting a more minimalist, aesthetic option without compromising on performance. No Pong Deodorant No Pong Deodorant boasts a clean ingredient list, and the formula is made in Australia and suitable for all skin types, including those prone to irritation. $10 Shop The iconic silver tin is still available across the collection of bestselling deodorants, including Cool Lavender, Spicy Chai and Flower Power. Clinical tests have shown No Pong reduces body odour for up to 24 hours, without harsh chemicals or artificial fragrances. The brand boasts a clean ingredient list, and the formula is made in Australia and suitable for all skin types, including those prone to irritation. The milky sweat produced by apocrine glands - such as those in the armpits - contains proteins and lipids that serve as a feast for bacteria, which in turn produce the compounds responsible for body odour. 'Rather than mask the smell, block pores, or by using synthetic anti-microbial chemicals, No Pong uses all natural ingredients to create a water-resistant environment that smelly armpit bacteria can't survive,' the brand says. The bicarb-based products use Coconut Oil, Sodium Bicarbonate (Baking Soda), Corn Starch, Beeswax, and a proprietary blend of 100% pure, Australian certified organic essential oils, while the bicarb-free range utilises Magnesium Hydroxide, Diatomaceous Earth in its place. No Pong is designed to be applied like a moisturiser: a small, pea-sized amount gently massaged into clean, dry skin with a clean fingertip. 'Not only does this keep the formula effective (because you're applying it right where it matters most), it's also a small but intentional way to connect with your body,' the brand explains. 'It's become second nature to us, and many of our customers have shared the same!' The $9.95 deodorant is applied like a cream: a pea-sized amount is rubbed into clean, dry skin Along with its 10,000 five star reviews globally, No Pong has an impressive haul of industry awards, winning multiple Clean and Conscious awards and Nourished Life Wellness awards in recent years. Loyal customers have been enthusiastic in their praise of the products. ' This product is by far the best,' one fan wrote. 'I've been using it for more than six months and wouldn't use anything else. The scents are beautiful, and the non-bicarb option is a game-changer for sensitive skin.' A customer who previously struggled with body odour was emphatic about the product's efficacy in her review: 'I love No Pong. I used to have to use the horrid '48h protection' deodorants before a friend put me onto No Pong. 'I swapped over during the winter of 2018 and have never looked back. While I was pregnant I swapped to the no bi-carb version after getting a rash from the original version and had zero issues after that. 'Having been a woman who was so ridiculously smelly that I was ashamed to lift my arms up (even with scrubbing my clothes each wash!) I couldn't be more grateful for No Pong. 'I still sweat like the kid out of the Lynx ad when I'm at the gym, but at least I don't smell! And then I don't smell during the day. Bonus, I rarely have to scrub the underarms of my clothing anymore either! Win-win!' Another shared: 'Love it! My under arms used to stink. Now they don't. Thanks to this brilliant deodorant. You have to stop using anything else and give it a good few weeks for your underarms to detox) and it works a treat. I have used the bi carb and bi carb free formulas and I personally like the bicarbonate free one. It seemed to work better for me. Not sure why. Perfect.' One customer said reading about the chemicals in traditional deodorants prompted the switch: 'Read some stories about what is actually in deodorants and had to change for the better,' they wrote. 'I bought some small tins to try and love them. The fragrances are fantastic. You've definitely got me sold.' Retailing at $9.95, No Pong is available to buy direct online and in select Woolworths stores. The brand also offers a discounted monthly subscription for $8.95 a month plus a $1 initial sign up fee.

I tested natural deodorant after FDA recalled 67,000 cases of popular brands - here's why I'll never go back
With the FDA recalling 67,000 cases of popular deodorant brands, one journalist made the switch to natural deodorant and was shocked by the results. Sophie Bates, a writer for The Sun, tried the natural product from Wild, a company that launched in 2020 with a focus on eco and skin-friendly products. Bates tested the deodorant daily for a month, putting it to the test through the office, gym and overnight. She went in with concerns of irritation and effectiveness, but found she was 'pleasantly surprised' by the product. 'For the first few days [I] didn't feel as fresh as I usually would with a traditional deodorant, but after that, I didn't notice much difference at all,' she said. 'I found myself free from body odor for the majority of the day, but I did sweat more than I usually do at first.' Bates said that while the natural deodorant took 'some getting used to,' she found that any odor neutralized following a couple of days of use. 'Everything about Wild is natural, from the recycled packaging to the chemical-free formula, but without compromising on quality,' she added. 'Once you get over the initial transition period, Wild's deodorant effectively keeps odor at bay, and I noticed long-lasting results without needing to top up.' Bates said the deodorant, while a little messy and more expensive, was overall a great natural option. Wild is available from $16 for cases and refills, $7.50 for refills and $11 for cases only, with a choice of scents and packaging options. The company's refillable options for natural deodorant is in an effort to reduce single-use plastics, and it claims that each refill saves 30 grams of plastic from reaching landfill sites. Bates testing of the product comes as the FDA announced a recall of 67,000 cases of the popular Power Stick deodorant brand. The Pennsylvania-based manufacturer, A.P Duauville, LLC, initiated the voluntary recall of 67,214 cases in total on July 10. The recall included more than 20,000 cases of the brand's 'power fresh'-scented Power Stick for Her Roll-On Antiperspirant Deodorant. It also covered more than 22,400 cases of 'spring fresh'-scented Power Stick Invisible Protection Roll-On Antiperspirant Deodorant, and more than 23,400 cases of the brand's Power Stick Original Nourishing Invisible Protection Roll-On Antiperspirant Deodorant. The Pennsylvania-based manufacturer, A.P Duauville, LLC, initiated the voluntary recall of 67,214 cases in total on July 10 All recalled items were packaged in a 1.8 ounce size. The recall was issued due to reported 'cGMP deviations,' which indicates a procedure and standards issue for product manufacturing, according to the Current Good Manufacturing Practices. Customers were able to purchase the recalled products at Walmart, Dollar Tree and Amazon.
