GREEN PARTY

While crystals might be having a moment with the hipster set, they’re no longer the default deodorant option for the eco-minded. These aluminum-free sweat stoppers have been upgraded with display-worthy packaging and enhanced with skin-softening ingredient­s. Many contain baking soda, which absorbs wetness and halts odour production by blasting bacteria (which is what causes the unpleasant smell).

1. Kai Deodorant ($38) Fans of this light gardenia scent will adore its clear vegan formula, which contains skin-conditioni­ng sugars to curb moisture. 2. Way of

Will 02 Natural Deodorant Tea Tree + Pumpkin Seed ($21) This deodorant uses tea-tree oil to zap bacteria and keeps skin’s delicate barrier intact with moisturizi­ng coconut oil and shea butter. Kaolin clay swoops in to vacuum up moisture.

3. Ursa Major Hoppin’ Fresh Deodorant ($24.50) This one glides on like a cooling gel and absorbs sweat while tempering pungency with eucalyptus, ginger, grapefruit, rosemary, lemon and camomile. It smells so delicious, we’re tempted to throw it in a blender and drink it up like juice. 4. Agent Nateur & Shiva Rose

Holi(Rose) No. 4 Deodorant ($29.50) This is handmade in Paris with avocado butter and loaded with sandalwood and rose. The packaging is minimal and cool; it wouldn’t look out of place in a black-and-white Scandinavi­an bathroom. 5. Kaia Naturals The Takesumi Detox Bamboo Charcoal Deodorant in Cold Pressed Rose ($21) It functions like a magnet, attracting and drawing out bacteria and toxins while reducing wetness—but you will initially sweat more as you adjust to the formula and complete what the brand calls “your detox journey.”
