Review: Nuud Vegan and Cruelty-Free Deodorant Stick *

Vegan and Cruelty-Free Nuud Deodorant Stick

[Ad-gifted] With the joys of summer also comes the common issue of sweaty armpits, which can be a source of discomfort and even embarrassment.  Hence we are showcasing Nuud Vegan and Cruelty-Free Deodorant Stick to try and review for the blog.

Nuud usually comes in a tube and is a natural deodorant that uses silver and zinc to combat smelly underarms. But not everyone likes the idea of deodorant in a tube and so being able to try their new stick format in some super interesting scents is what we are going to do in our latest Yeah Lifestyle blog post.

The four scents we were sent include, lime and bergamot, rosemary and geranium, orange and ginger and finally juniper and mint – they do also have an Original Unscented Nuud Stick (which is the same fragrance free version as the tube) which we reviewed a few years ago and found to be great, long lasting and successful at combating B.O!

What did we as a family think of the Nuud Deodorant Stick ?

Well firstly, my daughter said, oh wow, this is much better in a stick. She is a teen and didn’t like the idea of it being in a tube. I personally didn’t mind but it’s interesting how maybe the younger generation may prefer this stick format better.

The scents – I tried the lime and bergamot to start. It’s not particularly strong but is pleasant and zesty – which feels like a fresh smell to have. The rosemary and geranium felt as though it lent more towards the menthol edge of rosemary with a hint of floral from the geranium. The juniper and mint smelt fresh and had the coolness of the mint come through – I have no clue what juniper smells of (apparently sweet and zesty!) but it certainly smelt good and I think is probably my favourite. In a close second is the orange and ginger – which is super fruity and zesty and I get the sharpness of the ginger. I actually thought I would prefer the bergamot and lime – loving perfumes when they contain these scents but I was pleasantly surprised enjoying some of the other scents more.

In terms of effectiveness, I would say it pretty successful. I felt like I was free from smell for at least two days – I of course showered daily in between the initial application. The scents aren’t strong but if you think these are supposedly more natural deodorants, I wouldn’t expect the scents to blast out. However, I expect some people may find them a bit meek. I found them just right as I didn’t want them to take over and was happy with the freshness they provided when I popped on the deodorant. It is different to the cream deodorant and doesn’t have the longevity, but I don’t mind this, as I would rather apply my deodorant regularly.

The sticks are very eco-friendly down to the fact that they come in a cardboard tube – I liked this idea however, after a few uses the lid is difficult to put on and it all sort of gets a bit squished. I would have preferred a refill style stick, where you buy a one off dispenser and then buy your stick deodorant to pop inside, but that being said I still like the eco-conscious aspect of the box.

Unlike the fragrance free stick deodorant the four scented sticks aren’t derived from 100% natural ingredients. I am not saying this to criticise Nuud, however, I think its important to be transparent on this as many people have this as their go-to based on the fact they promote themselves as a natural brand. The ingredients seem to still be natural to a degree but without contacting Nuud directly I am not sure how they are extracted/made for them not to be 100% natural – but if you are wanting to opt for a stick that is a 100% natural be sure to get their fragrance free one in their iconic fuchsia red and white colour here.

Where can you buy your Nuud Deodorant Stickstick ?

You can get yours directly from Nuud‘s website – they have all their scents or bundles of scents available to buy as a one off or on a subscription basis.

How much are the Nuud deodorant sticks?

The sticks are priced between £11.19 – £13.99 depending on the scent (at the time of writing this blog post some scents were on offer at £11.19).
