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.

  • 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'.

  • 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.

  • For the longest time I couldn’t find a lotion or deodorant that was long lasting and didn’t aggravate my skin and I finally caved and decided to try Salt & Stone. While the prices are a bit high, truly this brand has some awesome products. The scents are very luxurious without being over the top and they are extremely long lasting while not leaving any strange residue. Would highly recommend.

  • 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.

  • I'm three days in with Salt & Stone deodorant and I'm never looking back! I got a mini trio of scents for my boyfriend and I, and they smell incredible. Neroli is my fave right now - it smells elevated and fragrant, but not too perfume-forward. It lasts all day, doesn't leave markings on clothing, and is effective. I've been struggling to find a new natural deodorant and am so happy I gave Salt & Stone a shot!

    I'd highly recommend shopping their minis to figure out which scent you'd like in full size! Take a look at the descriptions for the scent notes -- very helpful and accurate.

  • i’ve been looking for good, natural deodorants as the major brands make my under arms itchy. i was so excited to try salt & stone but found them just ok. the scent was great - i got lavender and sage - but for the price, i didn’t find it better than native. also, the lid cracked, and it always annoys me when a premium brand has cheap packaging.

  • I ordered the “Santal” deodorant, lotion, body wash pack after seeing tons of TikTok and Instagram adds and I couldn’t be happier that I was influenced. First impressions, the smell is subtle but appealing it feels like it smells natural. The packaging is sturdy and feels luxe, the kind of the thing I wouldn’t mind leaving out on the counter. I just did my first run using the deodorant (which is all natural 0 aluminum) and I came home with 0 sweat under my armpits smelling fresh as a daisy. While I worked up such a sweat elsewhere my hair was literally wet. I even made my bf smell my armpits when I got home to make sure I wasn’t being nose blind, he said I smelled great it didn’t even smell like I had worked out! Love love loving this product! If you’re thinking about it, GET IT!

  • Let me start by saying, I am weirdly scent-sensitive. The slightest hint of patchouli or a bathroom freshly cleaned with Mrs. Meyers almost always results in an immediate headache. But just because I’m “scent-sitive” doesn’t mean I am not continuously searching for ones I can fill my home with. And let me say, the candles from Salt and Stone are by far, my absolute favorites. I could simply INHALE the saffron & cedar variety and be content for the rest of my live long days. So happy I found this candle and will continue to support them whenever I can.

  • 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.

  • I bought Salt & Stone deodorant while in the USA, and I’m so glad I did! It’s natural, aluminum-free, and actually works—keeping me fresh all day, even in warm weather or after workouts. What I love most is how smooth and gentle it feels on my skin, with no irritation at all. The scent is subtle but clean, and it lasts longer than I expected for a natural deodorant. It’s become a staple in my routine, and I’m definitely stocking up.

    I bought it
  • Absolutely love the Santal deodorant, I have been using it and rebuying for 2 years!

  • Their body wash smells and feels great! Have yet to try the deodorant or candle -next on my list!

  • The scent was incredible, and it worked for a while but over time my body odour returned

    Efficacy against fighting odours

  • Salt & Stone makes incredible smelling soap, I always want one in my bathroom. It's better than the other, more expensive brands IMO too. Santal & Vetiver is my fave and I love the smell of the Bergamot & Hinoki but sadly cannot use since I'm allergic to eucalyptus which is included in that one.

  • Salt & Stone products smell SO good & they last quite a while. I've been seeing this brand all over & was initially interested in the look of the packaging, but can confidently say the product is worth the hype.

  • Love the branding and mission of the brand, but sadly their products just never worked for me. The lip balm stings my lips, the deodorant didn't perform like other natural deodorants I use, and the SPF left a white cast and burned

  • I was recently gifted a salt & stone trio of items and I really love them! The scent is amazing and the products work so well. The body wash suds up very well and makes me feel so clean and hydrated after use!

  • Salt & Stone deodorants are my go-tos. Love the scents, especially the Neroli & Basil. Also such a treat to get the shower gel once in a while. Seriously all of the scents are excellent. Great unisex gift.

  • I love their packaging and the scents are nice but I unfortunately only liked their body washes. The deodorant didn’t work for me, the lotions were lacking and the candles put off too much soot and were only usable with a candle warmer. The products look like something from a luxury brand but are just really unremarkable.

  • I purchased as I was looking for alternatives to Aesop and DS&Durga products. My first mistake was buying items online without seeing or smelling anything in person. My second mistake was thinking this brand offered premium products I could stock in my guest baths and primary baths. Unfortunately, the smell and feel of the liquid body wash was too perfumy and super liquidly. I felt like it was watered down and it did not have a luxurious weight or after touch to it. I won't buy again and would not be excited to see this in any home.
