The 15 Best Natural Deodorants for Men in 2024, Tested by Grooming Editors
James Rogers
Schmidt’s natural deodorant takes the top spot in our ranking because the real innovation is the new sensitive-skin formula. It's enriched with all the good stuff, like magnesium and activated charcoal, but most importantly, formulated without baking soda. Thus, it's suitable for all skin types. Not to mention, the aroma is invigorating with notes of citrus and spearmint.
Testing notes: Unlike the brand's previous formulas, this one is a godsend, quickly drying down to smooth matte finish. With just 1-2 swipes, you'll have 24-hour odor protection. The trick to smelling fresh all day: holding the deodorant stick against your skin momentarily to soften the application with your body heat.
While the deodorant won't block sweat, ingredients such as arrowroot powder and magnesium balance to absorb moisture and reduce odors. Our testers with sensitive skin found that Schmidt's stick didn't stir up any itchiness or redness, which is a feat in itself.
