STYLE

Spring has officially sprung, which means warm-weather szn (and your spring break vacay) is right around the corner. But with all that swimming/beach-sitting/having fun in the sun comes sweat + stinkiness (um, no thanks).

That's why rn is the perfect time for a deodorant refresh. And this year, we're swapping our sticks for all-natural alternatives. ("Natural" usually means a deodorant is free from harmful ingredients like aluminum, phthalates and chemicals.) 

We know what you're thinking: Natural deodorants Just. Don't. Work. But we're about to change your mind—bc with these babies, natural doesn't = ineffective.

Scroll on for our top clean deodorant faves (based on your spring break plans, ofc), then get ready to smell sooo fresh.

For the girl who's heading to the beach...

Miles Spring Break Deodorant, $10

Try the brand new Spring Break Deodorant from Miles. This top-rated deo has a beachy, sunshine-y scent of citrus, coconut and sandalwood. Plus, it's hypoallergenic and free of aluminum, parabens, alcohol and sulfates, with 24-hour odor protection. Dreamy scent *and* mega long-lasting power? Yes, pls.

For the girl who's creating her perfect herb garden...

Tom's of Maine Natural Deodorant, $18 for a pack of three

Balmy spring air and lavender fields stretching on for miles? If that's where you are in your mind rn, give Tom's of Maine aluminum-free deodorant in Coconut Lavender a try.
