Natural Deodorant ACTIVE Lemon & Geranium 55g

An active natural deodorant best suited to days when you are exercising and/or generally busy and rushing around. All of the natural deodorants are handmade with 100% natural ingredients, so no parabens, synthetic perfumes or aluminium.

The lemon and geranium version has a lovely fresh, slightly sweet smell, and the improved formula means that this deodorant is smooth and easy to apply. 

Vegan, cruelty-free and handmade in small batches.

Size 55g. Please note tester sizes are now available separately.

Directions For Use

- Pop a pea-sized amount of deodorant onto the end of your finger
- Apply to the underarm, smoothing across the whole armpit area

The active deodorant has a semi solid, smooth balm-like consistency. It will melt in the heat (and go more solid when cold). If it does turn a bit too 'loose' give it a shake or stir it, and place in the fridge. Best stored in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight.

Right for you?

This active deodorant contains sodium bicarbonate, a natural deodoriser. Some people can experience skin irritation in the form of itchiness due to variations in the bodies PH levels. I would recommend that you use the active alongside the gentle deodorant (which doesn't contain any sodium bicarbonate) or clean deodorant (a small amount of sodium bicarbonate making it a great all-rounder), using one of the latter for everyday use and saving the active for particularly busy, demanding days. This will help to prevent irriation. It's a good idea to do a spot check first.

Guvnor's Note: I am a convert to this hugely important deodorant. It works superbly well and it is a relief to be wearing something natural under my arms. The nourishing formula allows my pores to breath without my body absorbing hormone disrupting chemicals into my body. You can read my blog review here.

Customer Revews

'I absolutely adore the natural deodorant. Being honest I thought that it probably wouldn't be as effective as my usual deodorant but I was amazed at it's performance. So much better than the product I was using before. Love the feel of it on my skin and the scent is fresh and very natural. '(Keeley)

'I recently bought the new Natural Deodorant in Tangerine. I was skeptical as to whether it would work but was willing to give it a go, not only for me but also for my 8 year old - who can get a bit whiffy during PE. I had tried other 'tweenager' products with limited success. However, this deodorant works brilliantly! I've officially converted. Thank you.'(Sarah)

'I absolutely love this natural deodorant - if I'm honest I bought it on a whim, not expecting it to work. I've tried all sorts of natural deodorants in the past but just not found them at all effective. Incredibly surprised at just how effective this is - lovely fresh subtle scents. Just placed my second order and I honestly can't imagine reverting back to anything else - praise indeed! Happy customer, thank you.'(Jo)

'1 week and 3 workouts later and I'm so thrilled I have finally found a natural deodorant that works. I bought the Orange and Bergamot Active Deodorant Balm after some playground chat and Lucy's honest blog and what a revelation - it's brilliant, smells lovely and really works. Plus it's not filled with harmful chemicals. Thank you Lucy and The Wise House for another well researched and brilliant product!'(Emma)

'When I first shopped on the Wise House website I was looking for Christmas presents and found lots of lovely gifts for my friends; but the purchase I was most eager to receive was the Active Deodorant Balm.   I had made a conscious decision to stop using chemical deodorant a year or so ago but was finding hard to find one that worked as an antiperspirant. I lost a very close friend recently to breast cancer and wanted to find a product that my teenage daughter could use that didn't leave her (or me) with 'sweaty pits'. I've held off reviewing the balms until we'd put then to the test as, although its really good value it's still more expensive that a regular roll on (but not more expensive than Neal's Yard spray or Weleda natural deodorant). Anyhow it's brilliant, I bought the large jar for £11 in both the Active and Clean balms and have been using it since the beginning of December and I'd say I've got a couple of weeks left in that pot. I've been using the Active and my daughter the Clean. We both love them; I've even gifted little pots of it!

I love the aroma of the orange and bergamot; you only need to use a pea size amount of the balm under each arm and it works a treat. It's a really effective natural deodorant/antiperspirant I feel confident come the hot weather I will not be suffering from 'hippy sweat patches'.'(Clare)
