In-Depth Review
Who it's for
Ideal for those who want the sweat protection of an antiperspirant but without aluminum. Great for sensitive underarms and anyone transitioning from conventional antiperspirants.
Formulation and how to use
Dove 0% Aluminum uses natural mineral salts and a moisture-wicking formula to control wetness without blocking pores. Made with 1/4 moisturizers for skin comfort. Apply a thin layer to dry underarms.
Ethical sourcing story
Dove is owned by Unilever and is PETA approved (cruelty-free). However, Unilever sources palm oil from major producers with some deforestation controversies, though they have sustainability commitments. Dove also runs self-esteem projects promoting body positivity.
Packaging
The 1.7 oz stick uses a recyclable polypropylene container. Dove has announced goals to halve virgin plastic use by 2025. This product still uses virgin plastic.
Pro tip
If you're sensitive to baking soda in natural deodorants, this formula does not contain it, making it a gentle alternative.
Value vs. competitors
Around $7.99, very budget-friendly. Comparable to Native but without baking soda.
I love that it's aluminum-free but still keeps me dry. No irritation and the cucumber scent is lovely. Better than more expensive natural brands.
