I am often met with a screwed-up face of disapproval when I try to talk about my newfound enthusiasm for natural deodorant. Granted, it takes time to shake off the trauma of sticky-school-shirt embarrassment and the ingrained idea that sweat is positively disgusting and body odour the epitome of utter evil.
But the use of aluminium in deodorants makes me feel a little uneasy, so I set out on a quest to find an alternative… and I’ve got one. Sukin’s Natural Deodorant (£8, revital.co.uk) doesn’t really smell of much, though it boasts hints of tangerine, and contains no harsh ingredients. It doesn’t leave white marks on clothing and the simplicity of the packaging is aesthetically calming on my shelf. But the best thing about it is that it works!
