5 Vegan Deodorant Brands We Recommend

Deodorant doesn’t have to be cruel to animals if you use one of our best vegan deodorant brands. In fact, there’s no need for any element of your natural beauty regime to be cruel if you think about it. 

Sure, you may still eat meat but does a dog really need to test your underarm freshening products?No, we don’t think it does, either.
