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.

  • 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 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

  • The products smell good but the scent has no longevity. I’ve tried both the lotions and the perfumes— overpriced for what they are. The concept of the two note scents is reminiscent of Jo Malone London, and I like the packaging. I just wished the products performed better.

  • I really enjoy the deodorant and the body wash. the body wash lasts forever! its the best and it feels likes I am at a spa every time I use it! It is pricey but so worth it and I feel so clean afterwards.

  • I have been on a journey for a deoderant that is clean, doesnt stain my clothes, and does give me the worst rash ever. Salt & Stone covered the clean marker, and doesnt give me a rash, but all my white tees turned yellow. On to next, sadly...

  • 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.

  • This is the first natural deodorant I've ever tried and I'm impressed! First, the scent is amazing, I've been using Bergamot and Eucalyptus which is unisex but doesn't smell obviously of deodorant.

    It's a bit pricier than many other natural deodorants and I think most of this comes from the very thick, plastic casing.
