More and more people are switching to natural deodorants, and for good reason. Traditional antiperspirants often contain aluminum, parabens, and other harsh chemicals. But not all clean deodorants are created equal! At SONDR, we carefully select ingredients that are not only safe but also effective at keeping you fresh all day. Here are five of our favourite non-toxic ingredients you’ll find in our deodorants—and why they’re game-changers for your skin.
1. Zinc Ricinoleate – The Odour Eliminator
Derived from castor beans, zinc ricinoleate is a powerhouse ingredient in natural deodorants. It doesn’t just mask odor; it actively neutralizes it by trapping odor molecules and preventing them from being released. Plus, it’s anti-bacterial and incredibly gentle on sensitive skin.
2. Squalane – The Ultra Hydrator
Squalane, a plant-based ingredient sourced from olives, is known for its deep hydration and anti-aging properties. It helps reduce inflammation, making it a great addition to clean deodorants—especially for those with sensitive or easily irritated skin.
3. Sunflower Wax – The Skin-Soothing Glide
Many natural deodorants use petroleum-based waxes (like Ozokerite Wax), but SONDR uses sunflower wax as a vegan and sustainable alternative. Not only does it help give our deodorant its shape, but it also provides a smooth application and keeps your skin feeling soft.
4. Shea Butter – The Skin Protector
We could bathe in shea butter, and here’s why: it’s ultra-moisturizing, helps protect the skin from pollutants, and soothes irritation. If you have sensitive skin, eczema, or dry patches, shea butter is your best friend.
5. Magnesium Hydroxide – The pH Balancer
Baking soda can be irritating for many skin types, which is why we use magnesium hydroxide as a gentle, yet hyper effective, alternative. It helps absorb moisture, neutralize body odor, and maintain a healthy skin pH—without clogging pores or causing irritation.
Why It Matters
Choosing a non-toxic deodorant isn’t just about avoiding harmful chemicals—it’s about nourishing your skin while staying fresh. At SONDR, we believe that what you put on your body is just as important as what you put in it. With these powerhouse ingredients, you don’t have to compromise on effectiveness or safety.
