Whisper the words natural deodorant around the Vogue offices and you’ll set off a debate on its degree of effectiveness compared with extra-strength drugstore brands (whose aluminum-based formulas have been examined for possible ties to breast cancer).
“I think it’s actually working, but maybe I just want to believe . . .” mused one editor, hesitantly, of Milk Makeup’s cruelty-free, lavender oil–infused formula. “After four hours, it’s basically like you didn’t even put anything on,” said a frustrated staffer of another organic brand’s shortcomings.

Above, 10 of the chicest aluminum-free options this season.
