How to Choose the Right Roll-On Deodorant for Your Needs?

Are you looking for a solution to prevent bad body odour and keep you smelling and feeling fresh throughout the day? Try roll-on deodorant!

Roll-on deodorants are a convenient and simple solution to keep you smelling fresh and perspiration-free. However, because there are so many roll-on deodorants to choose from, it can be hard to decide which one to buy.

Find out how to select the right roll-on deodorant in this helpful guide which breaks down what to look for so you can choose the best roll-on deodorant for you.

How do Roll-On Deodorants Work? 

Deodorant roll-ons are used to apply a gentle liquid formula to your underarm area. Unlike antiperspirants, deodorants do not aim to prevent sweating. Instead, they combat the bacteria that live on the surface of your armpit skin that feed off perspiration and produce a smelly by-product we know as body odour. To keep you smelling fresh, roll-on deodorants combat these bacteria and slow down their growth.

How to choose the best Roll-On Deodorants

Non-staining

Some roll-on deodorants can leave a white residue on the skin that can stain clothes (especially dark-coloured fabrics). To avoid this, choose a clear roll-on deodorant.

Long-lasting

Choosing a long-lasting deodorant will give you the protection you need throughout the day to stop body odour, without having to re-apply frequently.

Aluminium-free

Aluminium has been found to be harmful in deodorants because it physically blocks the sweat glands and stops the body’s natural cooling process – which is not healthy.

We recommend: Vichy Deodorant 24 Hour Aluminium Salt-Free Roll-On 50ML

Bacteria-killers

Roll-on deodorants with natural ingredients like saccharomyces, eucalyptus, kaolin clay, hops, or neem are proven to be the best at fighting odour-causing bacteria in the armpits.

Antiperspirant

Use a deodorant that also has an antiperspirant to minimise sweating and wet underarms.

Natural Ingredients

If you prefer natural skincare products, look for a roll-on deodorant with 100% natural ingredients like natural oils, and extracts of flowers and fruits.
