SALT & STONE earns mixed-to-strong reviews: its products often smell exceptional and, for many, the natural deodorants and body wash perform well day to day—yet longevity and consistency vary. Reviews praise refined, gender-neutral scents like Santal & Vetiver, Bergamot & Hinoki, and Black Rose & Oud, but note issues such as deodorant fading by afternoon, occasional residue or white marks, thick sunscreen texture, strong candle throw, and sometimes flimsy or leaky packaging.

  • ’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

  • I feel like Salt and Stone deodorant is both beautiful and a market differentiator for their scents. The neroli and basil is my favorite. Like all natural deodorants though, I don't feel like it does a good enough job of preventing stank for ALL day coverage, but it's good enough especially if you use it for touch ups.

  • 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 brand makes lovely products with luxurious scents and minimalist packaging. The scented body lotion is a nice luxury and makes a great gift, but I do think there are so many cheaper options now. The Santal scent has become so popular, and this scent isn't unique anymore. I would love to see new options from this brand.

  • I've been looking for a clean, luxury deodorant to replace my drugstore classics. Salt and Stone was highly recommended and I picked it up at Sephora. The bergamot and hinoki deodorant smells great - complex and herbal and not too sweet. Unfortunately, it fell short for me in terms of the primary use of deodorant which was remaining smelling fresh and dry after a few hours. I'd still use it on days where I know I won't be as active, but I'll look for something else to get me through the hottest days of summer.

  • This is a pretty good clean deodorant. I am not really sweaty and stinky and have heard that it does not provide enough for some people but for me it’s been a good product. I really enjoy the mellow scents.

  • We gonna talk right now about THE product of last year! I am so happy I found this deodorant, it is smell is unbelievably great. I got bergamot and eucalyptus’s in original size and next day I went to a store to by traveling size

  • 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.

  • SALT & STONE has become a staple in my daily routine, and not just because their packaging looks amazing on my bathroom shelf. I’ve used the Sandalwood deodorant, body lotion, perfume, hand cream, and candle, and I genuinely love them all. Each product has a clean, elevated scent (I’m partial to the Sandalwood; warm, grounding, and subtly luxurious) that lingers just enough without overwhelming. What sets them apart is how intentional everything feels. The deodorant actually works (even on long city walks), the lotion absorbs beautifully without any greasy residue, and the perfume layers well with everything else. I also appreciate that their formulas are botanical-based and clean without sacrificing performance. Everything feels high quality and considered, it’s like self care for people who move through the world with purpose. Bonus: lighting the candle feels like a tiny ritual: spa-level vibes, minus the spa.

  • My favorite deodorant!! I have very sensitive blind and most deodorants give me a rash, this one doesn’t and is very effective at preventing body odor. Plus, the scents are divine, my favorite is the Neroli and Basil, makes you smell like an italian garden

  • 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?

  • 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 !!

  • Once I tried this deodorant I never went back to traditional deodorants. Not only do these have amazingly natural, clean, ingredients, but the fragrances are PERFECTION. I have put everyone I love on these. Hot tip: They make excellent stocking stuffers bc everyone uses deodorant (or at least they should!).

  • I have been a massive fan of salt & stone since the days they made skin care and sunscreen. Bergamot and Hinoki is my all time favorite scent. I started with just the body wash and my collection has grown to include the lotion, sensitive skin deodorant and body spray. The original deodorant does not work for me so I was very excited to discover the sensitive skin version. My boyfriend also uses all the products in the santal scent. We can't get enough of it.
