About this deal

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. The rise in popularity of eco deodorants has several catalysts, but for some it's been prompted by concerns about ingredients in conventional products, particularly aluminium.

Either use this refill crystal to replenish your PitROK original holder or use it 'naked' as a deodorant.

This fragrance-free vegan deodorant (or 'anti-odorant' as it calls itself) comes in the form of a tube of cream that you apply to the underarms by hand. It does this with a combination of natural plant and mineral powders to deodorise and absorb perspiration, including magnesium oxide and diatomaceous earth (a fossilised algae). It also contains sodium bicarbonate.

It is essential that PitROK is applied to freshly cleaned skin, therefore always use immediately after your bath or shower. Apply to underarms or feet. Dries in about a minute. Do not apply to broken skin.Key ingredients include magnesium oxide and bicarbonate of soda (except in the Gentle range) to help prevent odours, as well as arrowroot for the sweat and shea butter to moisturise. Users of Fit Pit in the office had mixed opinions on it. Some told us it was 'effective and long lasting' but 'can be a bit messy to apply'.

As your hands should be clean, this might not be so practical with a deodorant you want to take on the go.

Make Up & Fragrance

Nuud says one application is effective for between three and seven days. The active ingredients include antibacterial microsilver, which neutralises bacteria. Be cautious with products containing bicarbonate of soda (also known as sodium bicarbonate or baking powder) or essential oils if you have sensitive skin or if you tend to shave your underarm hair, as it might cause irritation. There are no added extras here - just crystal in a box. So if you're after a no-frills eco deodorant product that will last for six plus months (if you look after it) for not much outlay, this could be the one for you.

Some might react to the bicarbonate of soda. One user told us: 'My girlfriend said it was really good, but it irritated her skin after a few months due to the bicarbonate of soda in the ingredients.' Another user told us they found it effective, and that the initial itchiness from the bicarb settled down after a few months. So you might need to give it a trial to see if it works for you. There are currently three unisex scents available, and the subscription option is easy to change online. 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. Try different brands and strengths until you find one that suits you. Opt for mini bundles if you want to try out a few scents or different options to find the best fit for you. The base ingredients include tapioca starch for moisture absorption and sodium bicarbonate for odour control. It also contains a range of natural fragrances including patchouli oil. There are several scents to choose from.This product is a crystal made from potassium alum - a natural mineral salt - and sits on the surface of the skin in a microscopic layer, where it kills bacteria. Ammonium alum is another one you'll commonly find in this type of product. None are true antiperspirants, so you will have to make your peace with a certain level of wetness. Formulated with Aloe Vera and Grapefruit seed extract it leaves your skin feeling fresh and revitalised. There are three formulations to choose from with this creamy paste-based deodorant: 'Clean' - for daily use/all skin types, 'Gentle' - for sensitive skin, and 'Active' - for more demanding days.
