Bali Secrets All Natural Deodorant Review 2023

When it comes to all natural deodorants, Bali Secrets is indisputably a top-selling brand. Some love it, some hate it, but most of us just can’t live without it. With a revolutionary natural mineral salt-based formula that contains no toxic ingredients, like parabens, Alzheimer’s-causing aluminum, or GMOs, this certified vegan and cruelty free deodorant will keep you smelling fresh all day, a feat very few natural deodorants can pull off. But let’s see what the Bali Secrets hype is all about.

Bali Secrets scent overview:

Four unisex scents: Aloe Delight, Delicate Rose, Original Essence, and Sandalwood
Blocks body odor
Not overwhelming
Unscented variety available

What We Like about Bali Secrets

Unlike other natural deodorants, Bali secrets truly beats body odor instead of just masking it. This means that even the Unscented variety while keep you smell-free all day long. It is also very long-lasting for a natural deodorant. According to multiple reports, it can last up to 12 hours if you are a very active person or a heavy sweater and up to 48 hours for non-active people or light sweaters. In some cases, heavy sweaters needed an extra application throughout the day.

We also love that the scents (even the most feminine ones) will calm down after 30 minutes. Also, the scents are not overwhelming and can be used by both sexes. There is an unscented variety too, which works equally well. All scents smell nice and will tone down after a few minutes.

Quick Info

Lasting time: 12 – 48 hours
Deodorant: Yes
Antiperspirant: No
Invisible: Yes

Bali Secrets has an above-the-average lasting time and a bottle may last up to 3-4 months. You should keep in mind that this is a natural deodorant, which means that it won’t block your sweat glands to keep you completely dry. That’s what antiperspirants do, but most antiperspirants include toxic aluminum in their formula. So, when using Bali secrets, expect some sweat to occur (but no body odor).

What’s more, if you have used only chemical deodorants until Bali, give your body some time to adjust to a natural deodorant. You might notice that your sweating gets reduced after some time. Nevertheless, arm yourself with patience during the detox period.

As another big plus of this natural deodorant, you will see no stains on your clothes. Bali Secrets is truly invisible. Additionally, unlike most roll-ons, this one dries really fast (around 30-60 seconds).

But the biggest plus, we believe, is that it contains no aluminum, which has been linked to cancer and Alzheimer’s disease by numerous studies. Just imagine what putting aluminum-based antiperspirants onto your bare skin will do to your health in the long haul. Fortunately, Bali Secrets, has replaced aluminum with a naturally sourced bacteria-killing mineral salt called Potassium alum that has been used by coastal communities for thousands of years to keep body odor at bay.

Pros
  • Very gentle on the skin (causes no bumps or irritation)
  • Long lasting
  • Does not stain clothing
  • Scent tones down after a short while
  • No baking soda/ toxic ingredients
  • Recyclable BPA-free container
  • Great customer service
Cons
  • It might get solid below certain temperatures
  • Bottle may leak because of design flaw
  • Rather pricey

Bali Secrets Varieties to Buy

Bali Secrets comes in four scented varieties (Original Essence, Aloe Delight, Sandalwood, and Delicate Rose) and an Unscented variety. All scents can be used by both men and women as they are not overwhelming, but the Original scent and Sandalwood are more masculine, in our opinion.

  • Original Essence

  • Aloe Delight
  • Sandalwood

  • Delicate Rose
  • Unscented

 

Recommendations

If you like Bali Secrets, you might also like:

1. Green Tidings Organic All-Natural Deodorant

Just like Bali Secrets, Green Tidings is organic, vegan, and cruelty free. It also doesn’t contain plenty of the harmful stuff that you usually find in regular deodorants like aluminum, SLS, parabens, GMOs, phthalates, mineral oil, and more. Green Tidings is long lasting and super gentle on skin, but it does contain baking soda. So, if you have sensitive skin or are allergic to it, either apply some hydrocortisone cream beforehand or steer clear of it.

2. Ursa Major Natural Deodorant for Men and Women

Ursa Major is an award-winning natural deodorant that contains no aluminum but will keep you fresh all day long. It contains two dozen natural ingredients including kaolin clay, which absorbs moisture, baking soda, which fights off the odor-causing bacteria, and hops for an enhanced antibacterial effect. The manufacturer promises 24-hour of unscented protection. It leaves no stains behind.

If you don’t like Bali Secrets, consider:

1. Magnesium Deodorant All-Natural Deodorant

If you are worried that the Potassium alum in Bali Secrets is no different than aluminum chlorohydrate or aluminum zirconium, two synthetic substances used in many non-natural deodorants and antiperspirants, you might want to try a magnesium-based natural deodorant like the Magnesium Deodorant. This aluminum free deodorant doesn’t contain baking soda either, which makes it a good choice for people sensitive to it. A major downside of this product is that it isn’t stain-free, but you might want to take a look at our short guide to getting rid of deodorant stains. Overall, this natural deodorant does its job and it is available in 10 scented varieties.

2. . Organic Island Deodorant

If damp armpits aren’t your thing but want a natural deodorant that works, you might like a stick deodorant. Organic Island Deodorant is an all-natural, vegan and aluminum-free stick deodorant that won’t disappoint. Unlike Bali Secrets users, you won’t have to wait for your armpits to get dry after applying this product. But the big plus of this deodorant is that it contains probiotics which fight off the odor-producing bacteria on your pits with greater efficiency.

Conclusion
