About this deal

They say: ‘A liquid cream roll-on deodorant, delicate yet highly effective providing skin care benefits to all skin types. Is it based on organic rose otto blended with aloe Vera, sunflower Oil, Icelandic moss and vitamin E. This natural deodorant inhibits odour causing bacteria and leaves the skin feeling soft and rejuvenated.’ My son is nine and is using Scrubbingtons first deodorant. It smells just like fresh skin and hasn’t caused any irritation. Super pleased with it.” (Rated by Mumsnet user Hardchoices)

I’ve converted the whole family including my very sweaty, stinky DH, god love him. Comes in a tube made from sugar and you end up needing to put it on every few days. It is fab.” (Recommended by Mumsnet user MrsArchchancellorRidcully)Ingredients list - For children’s delicate, young skin, there are some ingredients that you may want to avoid, including aluminium and alcohol. Products that are dermatologically or clinically tested and suitable for sensitive skin or those with allergies are often kinder and more gentle on children’s skin, but may be less effective for heavy sweaters. As with many of the natural deodorant choices, some reviewers felt it didn't work for them, but it’s important to remember it can take a little while for the body to adjust when switching to a natural deodorant - give it time. Pros

Method of application - For children, the method of application can be important. A spray might be preferable for older children, whereas tweens or teens may be more comfortable using a roll-on. Some deodorants require manual application using your fingers, which may not suit those with sensory needs. Another long-lasting deodorant suitable for the whole family is Trust - a cream anti-odourant that can help eliminate underarm odour for between three and six days after application. I highly recommend this one. I use it and my 11-year-old DD is now using it. It lasts three days and is aluminium-free. It comes in a little pot so you have to use a finger to put it on but it works. It’s hard to find one aluminium-free that actually works.” (Rated by Mumsnet user DDMAC) We say: ‘I absolutely adored the smell of this as I love roses – it reminded me of Jo Malone Red Roses (one of my favourite perfumes). The roller ball on this was quite stiff so it was hard to apply, especially initially. As a deodorant it was only moderately effective – the strong smell meant it half-covered whiffs but you may as well spray perfume under your arms to be honest.’

Why you should trust us

We say: ‘Really into this. I like that it’s unfragranced and I didn’t smell at all. Only criticism is you spray it on and just it rolls off your body so you kind of need to rub it in.’ Parents will naturally be concerned about both the confronting reality of a child’s emerging maturity and also giving them a safe start by ensuring they are not needlessly pumping their bodies full of carcinogenic chemicals. DD (12) and DS (14) use Mitchum cream deodorant which is quite hardcore but their sweat really smells otherwise, especially after PE and walking to and from school.” (Recommended by Mumsnetter TantricTwist) Whilst not marketed specifically for children, Bionsen is a popular choice of deodorant for kids due to its formulation, which is dermatologically tested and proven to be gentle on sensitive skin, whilst also being free from aluminium and unwelcome parabens.

The biggest concern is around the ingredients, particularly aluminium. They say: ‘This is a natural crystal deodorant made from pure potassium alum, which is a natural mineral salt that has been used as a natural deodorant for hundreds of years in the Far East. It works by leaving a microscopic layer of mineral salts on your skin. These mineral salts inhibit the growth of odour causing bacteria leaving you feeling fresh and scent free.’ I buy my DS a non-aluminium roll-on called Bionsen. It's blue. Very gentle and effective.” (Brand recommended by Mumsnetter DonPablo) We say: ‘Has a super overpowering fragrance – which isn’t horrible – but it definitely interferes with any perfume you’re wearing. As this is a spray, I keep this in my bag for touch-ups, as the super clean, soapy smell is perfect for when you’ve been squashed on the Tube and are feeling a little gross.’
