Summary

Schmidt's Rose & Vanilla scores 63/100 -- the cleanest of the mass-retail natural deodorants. The base is magnesium hydroxide + coconut oil + shea butter + arrowroot powder, structured with candelilla wax (plant-based, not petroleum-derived ozokerite). Vitamin E, beta-sitosterol, and squalene are skin-supportive bonuses, and the fragrance comes from real essential oils with naturally occurring allergens listed (citral, citronellol, eugenol, geraniol, limonene, linalool). The two demerits are baking soda (underarm irritant) and Unilever ownership since 2017. Certified 100% natural origin, vegan, and Leaping Bunny cruelty-free.
