Chances are the men in our lives are still using the same brand of deodorant since they were in high school and sadly, most drugstore personal care brands for men are still testing on animals to this day. I’m looking at you… AXE, Old Spice, and Degree!
Luckily, there’s been an explosion of cruelty-free and ethical men grooming brands available now and to make it easier to navigate through the endless options of deodorants.. I’ve created this list of cruelty-free and vegan deodorants for men.
Although anyone, and not just men, can use these deodorants (or any other deodorants, for that matter). I personally know the men in my life tend to purchase or use personal care products that are marketed to men. So this list is intended for those who are looking for male-targeted deodorants.
I also included a list at the bottom of this post of men’s deodorants that are not cruelty-free and are from brands that do test on animals.
List of Cruelty-Free Men’s Deodorant Sticks
I tried my best to find vegan and cruelty-free deodorants that are available at the drugstore or on Amazon so that they’re affordable and accessible. Below is a list of deodorants targeted “for men” (but really, they’re for anyone!) from brands that don’t test on animals and none of these cruelty-free deodorants contain animal-derived ingredients, making them also vegan!
Andalou Naturals Men Herbal Deodorant in Mountain Sage ($7.99) – a long-lasting, solid deodorant that neutralizes odor with CannaCell® super antioxidants, organic hemp seed oil, and vegan probiotics.
Method* Men Aluminum-Free Vegan Deodorant ($9) – packed with plant and mineral-based odor fighters, Method Men’s vegan deodorant has no added aluminum, parabens, or phthalates. What it does have is effective, 12-hour protection, and a fabulous, fresh fragrance that your pits will love to bits.
Crystal Body Deodorant’s ROCK Deodorant Wide Stick ($5.59) – an effective unscented mineral deodorant, this powerful one ingredient mineral stick with a wider application surface eliminates and blocks odor before it starts without harmful or harsh chemicals—offering long-lasting, natural mineral protection for up to 24 hours.
Kiss My Face Natural Man Deodorant ($4.99) – made with odor absorbing Antioxidant Defenders and works all day (or all night), goes on clear, and smells great! The invigorating aqua scent is a nice manly smell but it is not too overpowering.
JASON Men Forest Fresh Roll-On Deodorant Stick ($4.10) – Enjoy the carefree feeling of all-day odor protection you can rely on. JASON Natural’s clinically tested formula of Zinc Ricinoleate, Corn Starch, and Baking Soda neutralizes odor, while Grapefruit Seed Extract, known for its antimicrobial properties, helps fight odor-causing bacteria.
