From rising temperatures to prolonged exposure to the sun, summer can throw your beauty routine out of whack. Now’s the perfect time to go through your beauty bag and toss out those traditional summertime staples in favor of these 11 clean-beauty alternatives.
During an important meeting, workout, or even on a first date, there’s one question you don’t want to be asking yourself: “Is my deodorant still working?” Our 100% aluminum-free Cream Deodorants make sure that question is off the table.
Our best-selling blend — No. 46, a mix of sandalwood, vetiver, and cardamom — is now available as a cream deodorant. Like all of our deodorants, it is 100% aluminum-free, plant-based, effective, and keeps you feeling fresh all day long.
Baking soda eliminates odor-causing bacteria, while organic arrow root powder absorbs wetness to keep you dry. Together, this powerful duo allows your body to sweat and release toxins. Unlike traditional petroleum-based deodorants, which can cause skin irritation, Cream Deodorant No. 46 has a soothing combination of organic coconut oil, shea fruit butter, and beeswax to calm and moisturize, allowing your skin to breathe. The exotic blend of organic sandalwood, vetiver, and cardamom essential oils not only relaxes the senses but are also natural antibacterial agents.
Shop our new Cream Deodorant No. 46 at any of our locations, on Amazon, milkandhoney.com, and shop.milkandhoney.com.

They passed a 97 degree subway ride in which I had to hold on to the overhead bar, which means I was confident enough to expose the seated riders below me with my prickly pits. I never thought I’d make the switch from drugstore, aluminum deodorant to this hippie stuff, but I’m a convert.
Now, it’s your turn to take our Cream Deodorant for a test drive, and we’re sweetening the deal:

It may not be the most glamorous or sexiest of topics, but it sure is an important one.
Fact #1: We all sweat.
Fact #2: Many of us are guilty of using deodorants and anti-perspirants that are chock-full of nasty petrochemicals, synthetic ingredients including hormone-disrupting fragrances, parabens, and aluminum compounds. Whether you’re familiar with the adverse effects attributed to the aforementioned elements or not, the bottom line is: they’re no good.
Fact #3: For most, smelling nice/feeling fresh is a personal hygiene preference and priority. (Right?)
