Pretty Smart: 19 Deodorants That Really Work

We’d like to take this time to apologize to loved ones and strangers who may have been bothered while our editors tested nearly 100 deodorants. Hey, they couldn’t all be winners, but these are.

	Best Ingredient List Deputy editor/beauty editor Crystal found the plain packaging of Real Purity deodorant ($10) to be Clark Kent to the Superman-worthy, vitamin- and mineral-loaded formula inside.

	Most Sensitive This creamy stick is missing all the chemical nasties. But what Lavanila healthy deodorant ($18) has, a vanilla-scented, skin-conditioning formula, is all market director Danielle needs.

	Best Go-To Smell Copy editor DeAnna never got so many compliments on smelling good based just on her armpit fragrance. Function-wise, Degree Classic Romance Solid ($4) gets the job done sans residue.

	Biggest Stoner Web editor Karen reluctantly went for the L’Occitane stone crystal deodorant ($18), but it won her over by getting her through a hot beach day with nary an odd whiff or damp spot in sight.

	Best Health Food Store Find Silk shirt-tested, armpit-approved, the botanical extracts in Desert Essence Dry by Nature ($6.25) kept Deals editor Holley fresh and dry all day without the use of harsh aluminum.

Make like Angelina and take care of your pits. Check out the rest of our favorite deodorants.
