MALIN+GOETZ Deodorant | Eucalyptus, Bergamot, Otto Scents | Aluminum-Free, Residue-Free, Refreshing Gel Stick Formula | Vegan & Cruelty-Free (2.6oz & 1oz Sizes)

Being the bergamot lover I am, I'd been eyeing this brand but at the time felt the Kopari deodorant I was already using was a bit expensive at $14. What I had liked about that one was the cruelty free aspect and it didn't streak on clothes, but it also didn't totally prevent odor for me. So, with a Black Friday sale price of $20, and liking the M+G brand story, I went for it late 2023. Two years later, it's all I will use and it's definitely worth the money for me. A stick lasts me nearly a year (I am female, but I'm active and do sweat a lot). The scent is wonderful and it prevents odor for me all day, even if I skipped a shower. I don't ever have a skin reaction to it and it doesn't streak my clothes. The price is more than many people want to pay, but it's an honest, high quality and cruelty free product that works. Rare combo.

The MALIN+GOETZ deodorants smell fresh and sophisticated without being overpowering. The eucalyptus and bergamot versions are crisp and energizing, while the Otto scent feels a bit warmer and more elegant. The formula goes on smoothly, doesn’t irritate my skin, and lasts well through the day for a natural deodorant. It’s a bit pricey, but the clean ingredients and refined scents make it worth it if you prefer something gentle and premium.

Smells great! not super strong, simple sleek canister

*WARNING* DO NOT BUY, YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO RETURN IF YOU DO NOT LIKE THE PRODUCT! I am a long-time Malin + Goetz product user, and this product just sucked. I am starting to realize that the majority of their products are just meh. The deodorant if you could call it that... would leave your pits wet and kind of smelling like a wet dog after about 3-4 hours. The scent is non-existence, so you can't rely on it to cover up the armpit smell, if anything it mixes with the sweat and makes it smell worse. Also, it's super expensive for what it is, I expected a better product for the price. I hope you don't make the same mistake that I made.

Aluminum-free deodorant that actually works for everyday activity. The gel formula goes on clean with zero residue on clothes. Eucalyptus scent is subtle and fresh without being overpowering. Keeps odor at bay through a standard workday and light exercise. Won't survive intense workouts or summer heat the way antiperspirant would, but that's the tradeoff with aluminum-free formulas. If you're switching away from traditional antiperspirants, this is a solid option with realistic expectations.

This is a good light scent and produces no irritation but after having used this on a trip where there were frequent bouts of very warm weather it did not provide cover for my stinky pits. I would not recommend if you sweat easily or for warm weather.

I wanted to switch to a natural deodorant (rather than combined deodorant + antiperspirant) and after doing some research decided to try this one. I’m mad I didn’t do it sooner. The smell is so nice, very earthy/natural. I also have sensitive skin and haven’t had any issues with a rash or negative skin reaction which is great. It works really well and the only time I’ve noticed body odor is if I’ve been stress sweating at work for a while or if I was super active all day - even then I barely notice any BO, it seems to really reduce odor in ways that antiperspirants I’ve used in the past can’t even compare to. Only thing I had to get used to was it does go on a bit wet but that doesn’t bother me, just had to adjust to the feeling. It dries pretty quickly.

I was super excited to try this product. Natural ingredients and aluminum free. After a few days, I realized by the time I got home from work that this deodorant was not keeping away odors. I have ended up purchasing another brand and it works much better for me.
