Wild arguably had one of the biggest vegan deodorant launches of the last few years, with almost every influencer on your feed having one. As you can imagine, I was gifted one when they launched and – after trying it out for a few weeks – it’s sat under my bed for months unused. Why? Let’s get into it…

My thoughts on Wild Deodorant

I was really intrigued when I first head of Wild deodorant – I liked the style of their product and the plastic-free, refillable ethos.

Whilst ultimately it wasn’t for me, I want to lay out the good and bad, so you can get a good idea of the deodorant:

The Good
  • For an eco-friendly, natural deodorant, I think the price is pretty reasonable
  • Sustainable – completely plastic-free and the refills are compostable
  • Customisation – I like that you can pick your case colour and scents, allowing you to mix and match
  • The refillable tube makes it easier to apply and use than most other solid deodorants
  • Kept me smelling fresh all day (as long as I applied an adequate amount)
The Bad
  • Solid deodorants (not just Wild) do not work on my skin – I’ve tried many over the years and they all have a habit of dragging at my skin and clogging my pores …. all round irritation
  • Not the easiest to construct – just make sure you follow the instruction, do not rely on your intuition – treat it with the same respect you would with Ikea furniture
  • Avoid if you’re sensitive to sodium bicarbonate – a lot of my followers said that the high quantities of this irritated their skin
  • Solid deodorants like this perform better in the summer as the warmer temperatures help the product melt on to the skin, thus it didn’t work well during the colder months

If you wanna hear more about my thoughts and experience, as well as seeing the product demo-ed, check out the below video:
