Vegan antiperspirant?!

Best Answer - Chosen by Voters

I truthfully have had difficult time finding an anti-perspirant that is completely vegan. Finding deodorants that are vegan is much easier. There's also a toss-up in the medical field about whether or not anti-perspirants with various metals in them are dangerous, but if you prefer an anti-perspirant, that's certainly up to you.

Degree for Women Body Responsive Anti-Perspirant and Deodorant and also their Invisible Solid Anti-Perspirant and Deodorant both do not have ingredients that are derived from animals, although they are not advertised as vegan products.

Watch out for pentadecalactone; it's an ingredient usually obtained from the musk of mammals, specifically deer, and that's commonly used in anti-perspirants and deodorants. Also keep an eye out for benzoic acid as it is commonly used as a preservative in deodorants. Chitosan, which is a lipid binder derived from crustacean shells, is sometimes used in deodorants. Stearic acid is sometimes used in cheaper brands, and it is basically fat taken from cows and sheep and it's also taken from euthanized cats and dogs at animal shelters. Urea and carbamide are derived from urine and are sometimes used in deodorants.
