SALT & STONE earns polarized reviews: many say the brand is good—its natural deodorants and body care often work for everyday wear and smell exceptional—while others report inconsistent deodorant efficacy over time and scent longevity issues. Reviews praise elevated, gender-neutral fragrances like Santal & Vetiver, Bergamot & Hinoki, and Black Rose & Oud, plus chic packaging; drawbacks include white marks or foaming from deodorant, occasional irritation (baking soda), bulky or fragile packaging, and some sunscreens feeling thick or leaving a cast.

Purchased body wash and deodorant, both worked fantastic!
Feedback
Expansion of scents
I used their Bergamot and Eucalyptus deodorant for four months
Feedback
While the product smells good, it didn’t keep me smelling totally fresh all day. It worked for the first two months but noticed smelling a little funky by end of day after month three. The packaging is also pretty bulky and takes up a lot of cabinet space. The cap also started cracking a few months in.
I use the santal + vetiver deodorant and I LOVE it. Truly when I first tried it I was sneaking sniffs of my armpits because it just smells that good. Absolutely worth the price.
It's always a joy when a product is as great as its packaging, marketing, and creative. Ever since I first tried the Santal Deodorant a year ago I haven't gone back. Smell is good enough to be a fragrance and performans as well as a classic deodorant. The sheer sunscreen is amazing as well.
Feedback
Sheer sunscreen takes a little bit to fully rub in it so it would be nice for it to apply more smoothly.
Absolutely love their deodorant. Best one i’ve used and it smells amazing too.
I purchased the sensitive skin formulation because it looked like it goes on clear. I've tried other natural deodorants that left stains on my shirts, etc. This doesn't! Additionally, the scent isn't overwhelming, and I feel like most of the scents could be unisex.
Feedback
Can sometimes get tacky due to formulation, but overall I enjoy it a lot.
Not a huge fan of the deodorant, it is expensive and is not sweat-proof. Leaves weird foamy white paste when you get sweaty and leaves mark on clothing
Feedback
change of formula to make dryer deodorant

While the process of receiving the Santal body spray was great the product is not! It literally lasts for half an hour before it evaporates! I asked to return it and I couldn’t because I opened it?? If you are not satisfied with a product after trying it, shouldn’t you be able to return it? It cost me 90$ with shipping …not ok in my opinion

Terrible customer service. I purchased direct through salt and stone's website. Received the products. I did not care for the scent, and have been trying for a month to send emails to the [email protected] and never received a reply. I wouldn't mind even an exchange, but there is zero response or customer service!

This body wash is awesome! It smells so fresh and clean without being too strong. The texture is really nice, and it lathers up well without drying out my skin. After using it, my skin feels soft and smooth, not tight or sticky. A little goes a long way, so the bottle lasts a while. Definitely one of the best body washes I’ve tried!

For natural clean deodorants, this is the best that I've found so far. It works well for everyday wear and smells great. For intensive workouts though, it probably wouldn't be the best option.

Their extra strength santal deodorant is so amazing. I swear I've tried every natural deodorant on the market and this is the best and most effective one. Not to mention how amazing it smells!

Truly obsessed with Salt & Stone! I’ve tried ALL of their candles and have loved them all, but the Santal and Black Rose scents are my fave. They smell so luxe and have great throw. Also love their body products - I have the body lotion and hand lotion in the two scents above. Putting them on is such a treat and they smell SO good. Can’t stop smelling my hands afterwards and the scent lasts too.

Just like many out there trying to transition from standard off the shelf deodorants to natural deodorants and stumbled across Salt & Stone. I spent around £70 on my first order which in itself was a mistake. I should have got a sample tested it out and made a decision based of that. Anyways, tried 2 scents in the big bottles and 2 sensitive small bottle scents. My experiences are as follows: Big bottles are wax based, people talk about how lovely they smell but apart from smelling the actual bottle the scent never translated onto my skin. All I ever smelt was a terrible wax smell. This also stained all my clothing after numerous washes from cold to warm it was an extremely terrible experience. Performance was terrible I couldn’t get through half a day without smelling of BO. Prior to making the switch I have never ever had experiences of smelling bad even after a gym sesh, football sesh etc. Everything above applies to the sensitive deodorants line they have. The sensitive ones are not wax based but gel based and they in fact have an even worse performance than the wax ones. Atleast these don’t stain your clothing which is the only positive I can add. For the price you pay, I strongly urge people to acc check trust pilot before making a decision. There are much better alternatives out there then salt & stone. I learnt my lesson the hard way.

I am not a fan of the deodorant! I was hoping for something better than what I got. Based on the influencer who was promoting saying that it would smell amazing, the smell was subtle. It also didnt provide deodorant coverage. Used after showering to go to dinner by the time I got to the restaurant my arm pit was sticky and burned. I hate that I spent $25 on something that I can never use again. I DO NOT RECOMMEND!

I'm super conflicted about their deodorant. I love the scent, and for the first 3 ish months of using it, I had no BO. There was no irritation, I was sooo relieved. However, when summer came, this deodorant didn't stand a chance on my morning commute or a workout. I was left basically deodorant-less. I think their deodorant can withstand winter, but I'll opt for another brand in the summer.

The Black Rose + Oud deodorant scent is to die for. Been using natural deodorant for years now so no transition period was experienced and this did exactly what was needed for my pits. Also, the company is owned by some truly great people – support great people doing great things!

Absolutely loved the candle. Lighting this up as soon as I get home from work is a treat !

I have ordered a couple times from Salt and Stone for my business, located in Monterey, CA. I have a beautiful skin studio and carry high end skincare and wellness brands. As someone who is AAPI, I was happy to order from a brand I saw proudly shows their AAPI status as part of their brand values. I was extremely disheartened when after placing my third order with them, I received noticed that my order had been canceled and a message from them stating they are “scaling back some of their wholesale partnerships.” Yet their products are still on the Faire app for any retailer to order. My understanding is for whatever reason they deemed my business not good enough for their brand. They don’t support other AAPI business nor small business….that is apparent and unfortunate.
