Buy Natural Deodorants that protect you from odour while letting your body perspire naturally.  You'll find no synthetic fragrance, petrochemicals or Aluminium Chlorohydrate in our chemical-free deodorants that actually work. 

Shop the best natural and organic deodorant brands in Australia at Biome. We're here to help you make the switch to natural and find an effective non toxic deodorant paste, spray, roll on or stick.   

Antiperspirants prevent sweat from reaching the skin's surface by plugging your glands with a gel that is formed from dissolving aluminium salts.  An aluminium free nature deodorant doesn't stop you sweating, rather it uses ingredients to control the bacteria that cause odour, and to absorb wetness.  

For those with sensitivities or getting a rash, we have unscented deodorants and a huge range of bicarb free deodorants.  For scents, we have everything from florals to neutral and ideal choices for men's natural deodorant.

For kids and teens starting to notice their underarm smell, non toxic is the way to go.

Why do people spell deodorant deoderrant?

It is a tricky word to spell as phonetically it is pronounced closer to deoderrant than deodoorant! Some people may stress the second syllable of deodorant, making it sound like ‘de-ODD-er-ant’, while others may stress the first syllable, making it sound like ‘DEE-oh-der-ant’. The word deodorant comes from Latin de- + odorans, which means “to remove or mask the smell", so it should not be spelled deoderrant.
