  • I have been using this deodorant for about 8 months now. I love it and want to give it 5 stars; however, the packaging could be improved. Because of the consistency of the product, it can get rather messy on the sides, even when you twist the deodorant all the way down. This can result in some loss of product and/or a mess in a bag if you're taking it on the go. Overall, I keep repurchasing. The smell, the product's effectiveness, and the ingredients win out, even if the price point is hard to stomach sometimes.

  • I got the sample pack of the 4 different scents of mists. I have to say each scent is very delightful but I’m very disappointed with how quickly the scent faded, within the hour the smell was gone.

  • While the deodorant didn't work for me, I love the smell of their products, and the packaging is beautiful! I like their chapstick even though it's pretty waxy. I think their products would make for great gifts.

  • Their lip balms are worth the price of admission. I would like to try some of their other products when I have a need for them.

  • This smells like a spa in the best way—fresh, woody, and calming. The scent feels elevated but not too strong. I keep it in my bag to reapply throughout the day and always get compliments. It's also a very light and not overwhelming.

  • I have a few salt and stone products. The perfume I got smells a bit too manly for me but smells nice if you’re just out of the shower and feeling out your dude chakra. I am still exploring their products.

  • ’ve been using Salt & Stone’s deodorant and body bath for 2 months already, and I’ve got mixed feelings. First, the deodorant: I loved it at first! For about a month and half, it completely handled odor and even reduced humidity a useful and rare combo. But after that, it started losing effectiveness, and odors came back and i had to mix 2 deodorants for effectiveness until a go back to an other deodorant. Also, if you wear black, beware: it leaves white marks on fabrics, which isn’t ideal. Since it's very personal and not everyone has the same experience with deodorant i would say GIVE THEM A TRY! i was super happy the first month and half until my body decided differently! The body bath, on the other hand, is fantastic. The bottle’s format is generous, and the packaging is chic and minimal. My only complaint is the scent it’s quite strong and masculine, so it might not be for everyone but on my end i like it Overall, both products are stylish and feel high-end, but the performance of the deodorant faded too quickly for me.

  • BEST BEST BEST PRODUCTS EVER. THE SCENT IT AMAZING. This will have you smelling like fresh laundry all day long. FOLLOW MY TIKTOK @maddiediaries to see me try this product and more products like this.

  • I love Salt & Stone! One of the only natural deodorants that actually works and keeps you smelling so fresh all day. Their scents are so light and fresh, my favourite is the Santal & Vetiver. I love that you can also buy travel size packs (pack of 3 either for travel or to test out different scents). I also tried their spf 50 tinted sunscreen stick which I love, super easy to reapply sunscreen on your face all day. Their spf 30 mineral sunscreen is also great. It has a good consistency, lovely light scent and leaves no white cast.

  • I am liking the Santal & Vetiver Hydrating Body Lotion with Niacinamide by Salt & Stone The ingredients infuse nourishing seaweed extract and niacinamide to soften, protect, and restore the skin. It’s a deeply hydrating lotion that absorbs into your skin quickly. It smells very good but it does not have a very strong scent.

  • Good ingredients and amazing smelling. I am just starting on the natural deodorant journey and I really like the smell of all of this brands line. I appreciate the aesthetic of the packaging. The regular deodorant feels a little grainy (not off putting) and the gel is smooth. I’m going to test out a few different kinds and report back

  • So I used Arm and Hammer deodorant for years until I tested extremely high for aluminum. I started to research a more pure and clean version that would protect me from stinky armpits which I have sometimes . Nothing worse than smelly BO coming from your pits and trust me I know first hand! I stumbled upon Salt & Stone and purchased a 3 pack of their different scents. Always willing to try a product with good reviews. I was surprised that a clean deodorant would protect me as well as all three scents did and for a full day. They go on the same as your supermarket brands and their scents are not overkill. I continue to use this brand and Agent Nateur for full protection. I feel better that less toxins are penetrating my body. The only cons I have are that they are expensive for very small sizes and you can't smell them before purchasing. I am not aware if either brand is sold in the brick and mortar way but I will continue to use both brands and always try new ones. Overall thumbs up!!

  • This is hands-down one of the best natural deodorants I’ve ever used — and I’ve tried a lot. Salt & Stone nails it with their sleek, minimalist packaging and luxe feel, but it’s the formula that wins. It glides on smooth, leaves no white residue, and actually keeps odor at bay without irritating sensitive skin. The scents (like Santal and Bergamot) are elevated — more like a subtle fragrance than your average deo!

  • This is my winter deodorant, or my “sitting around the house working from home” deodorant. I’m not going to pretend this would hold up in the hottest summer heat, but for what it is, it’s perfect. The scents I’ve tried are Santal+Vetiver (my favorite) and Black Rose Oud, which I have currently. Love the gender neutral scents. It’s very gentle and I always wear it to bed. I do wish the packaging was not plastic.

  • While I enjoyed a Sephora sample of Salt & Stone’s body wash, my absolute favorite product of theirs is the Saffron & Cedar candle. I am utterly obsessed and have not come across another scent like it. It is warm and full of depth, and earthy but sensual and inviting. I’ve purchased 2 candles thus far and get compliments whenever someone comes to my home after I’ve burned it. I hope they make body products with this scent because I think it would smell incredible on skin, especially if you’d like a sophisticated take on a gourmand-adjacent scent.

  • I absolutely love this product. For me, it is super effective and a total game changer. For reference, I live in Texas and with the heat, doing any physical activity, especially outside can feel icky. It does what it says, leaves no residue on my clothes and it smells subtle but sophisticated. What's not to like?

  • The Salt + Stone body wash gel is my go-to, every day body wash. I love that it's a pump which makes for easy access, and the bottle is simple but looks cute in the shower. Also, although a higher price point, you get a lot of product for what you pay for and is the perfect 'little luxury'.

  • I have the hand cream and love the fragrance, packaging and how velvety the texture is. The product is easily absorbed and the scent last for a long time! The fact the the packaging doesn't use plastic (except for the cap) gives extra points !!

  • Amazing scents! I’m a huge fan of Bergamot so their Bergamot & Hinoki scent is right up my alley. The body wash is great - feels very luxurious, lathers just enough, and locks in moisture with the hyaluronic acid. If you love fragrance without all the overwhelming-ness that can happen with scented skincare this is great. If you want a scent that lasts though, it might be worth exploring different a different alternative. It’s a bit on the pricier end and I feel like you could get a “better” body wash for the price point but still a solid choice if you’re in the mood to splurge.

  • PRODUCTS & OVERVIEW: Santal & Vetiver Body Wash / Lotion Duo and Hand Cream; Bergamot & Hinoki Hand Cream OVERVIEW: I fell in love with these scents while exploring coastal California near Big Sur. The fragrances evoke the clean breeze, salty air, and natural aromas of the luxurious, mountainside beaches. The hand cream is buttery and melts into the skin without feeling greasy. It’s my go-to in both my purse and gym bag. The lotion has more slip but is perfect for layering Santal scents that linger throughout the day. The body wash smells lush and elevates every shower with its rich scent. That said, I recommend cleansing with a soap bar beforehand, as the body wash alone doesn’t have strong cleansing power. WORTH THE PRICE? Absolutely! It’s a luxury splurge, but it makes you feel oh-so-special. I’ve repurchased these products and plan to continue doing so. I keep the duo in our guest bathroom so visitors feel like they’re on vacation. I also reach for them when I want to feel like I’m back in Big Sur or to treat myself to a little at-home spa day. LONGEVITY: I’ve been purchasing these products for two years, and they’ve never disappointed me. I did try the deodorant, but from what I remember, I didn’t like it. Natural deodorants just don’t work for me but that’s more about my body chemistry than the product itself. BRAND MISSION: Salt & Stone creates high-performing, luxurious body care products that connect mind, body, and spirit. I appreciate their commitment to mindful packaging, sustainability, and their connection to the natural world. That mission truly comes through in their products.
