Dr. Squatch Overview

Natural deodorant can be a bit iffy. It’s hard to say how long it will last or hold up with a sweaty workout. But Dr. Squatch’s natural deodorant is quite surprising.

Dr. Squatch’s Odor-Squatching® system fights potential sources of B.O from every angle. It uses powerful natural deodorizers like charcoal to block odor, probiotics to help prevent the growth of odor-causing bacteria, and arrowroot which absorbs moisture.

Plus, with Dr. Squatch you’re not stuck with the same ol’ scents. Their deodorant comes in numerous out-of-the-box scents like Bay Rum, Pine Tar, Birchwood Breeze, Alpine Sage, Fresh Falls, Cedar Citrus, and Wood Barrel Bourbon - something for every man!

Your skin will love the addition of natural ingredients like shea butter which moisturizes and nourishes, coconut oil which helps with hydration, and sunflower seed oil, which contains vitamin E. Rest assured there are no harsh chemicals or aluminum used in any Dr. Squatch deodorants.

All Dr. Squatch products are delivered to your door. They also offer a quiz to help you find the right scents and products for you. Try one of their unique scents (our editors recommend the new Cedar Citrus) for just $12 or the four-pack at $45!

Drugstore Brands Overview

Drugstores would be the most common place to buy deodorants and antiperspirants, but most contain aluminum or harsh chemicals. They also have harsh salts that can plug your pores, allowing you to sweat less when dissolved.

Drugstore deodorants range from $3 to $10. Yes, these generic deodorants might be cheaper to purchase, but at what cost? You’re getting a little bigger bottle which is mainly filled with air and harsh chemicals. It can be a hit or miss when it comes to finding a scent you like and a formula that does the job without any skin irritation.

Although you get the benefit of a little more variety, you’re spending time headed to the store and rolling the dice on sweat protection. So for people experimenting and trying a variety of brands and scents, it might make sense, but they definitely aren’t as high-quality as Dr. Squatch.
