Sweating is normal and most times, even healthy. Without sweating, your body can overheat.

But if you're someone who tends to stink up when you sweat, wearing a deodorant is a must.

Deodorants aren't meant to stop you from sweating (and it shouldn't!), but a good one is meant to neutralise the bacteria that causes bad body odour. 

Unfortunately, too many brands out there offer deodorants with heaps of chemicals and ingredients that can be harmful to your body.

We've put together a list of nine deodorants made with natural ingredients that you can get in Malaysia:

1. Hello Natural Co

All of the deodorants are free of alcohol, aluminium, synthetic fragrances, and parabens. Each one is made with activated charcoal that absorbs odour-causing bacteria and moisture.

Price range:
RM37.39 – RM49.85

2. HYGR

HYGR came about after one of its founders, Meng, had struggled to find a natural deodorant that could solve his severe body odour. As most brands contained aluminium and baking soda, ingredients he is allergic to, he needed a deodorant that contained only natural ingredients. 

As a result, they came up with their Smell Be Gone deodorant, which comes in eco-friendly packaging and in two sizes: 25g and 50g. You can choose from six scents:
1. Fresh cooling citrus
2. Soothing lavender
3. Rose geranium
4. Tea tree
5. Ylang ylang
6. Woody
