This rose-scented deodorant is formulated without aluminum, baking soda, parabens or alcohol. Instead, it relies on the help of cornstarch to keep your skin dry. We love that it’s invisible once it goes on, too. Plus, the cute packaging makes us want to display it on our vanity at all times.

This skin-soothing deodorant has papaya enzyme, coconut oil and tapioca starch to help absorb excess moisture but won’t dry your skin out. It also has mango seed and bacuri butter to help strengthen the skin barrier and protect against razor burn.
