Scrubbingtons Pit Stop Children's Natural First Deodorant Aluminium and Alcohol Free for Sensitive Skin 1 x 50ml

Product Information

Is your child particularly active? - Whilst some of the natural options and deodorants aimed at children will be effective for young users experiencing mild body odour, if your child is particularly active, sporty or exercises regularly, they may need a stronger adult deodorant.

I highly recommend this one. I use it and my 11-year-old DD is now using it. It lasts three days and is aluminium-free. It comes in a little pot so you have to use a finger to put it on but it works. It’s hard to find one aluminium-free that actually works.” (Rated by Mumsnet user DDMAC)If your kiddo has sensitive skin, this option from Native, made with all naturally derived ingredients, is the way to go. It is baking-soda-free and fragrance-free, but it goes on smooth and works for hours without causing irritation. Another long-lasting deodorant suitable for the whole family is Trust - a cream anti-odourant that can help eliminate underarm odour for between three and six days after application. I bought this one for my nine-year-old and he’s getting on great with it” (Tried and tested by Mumsnet user JellyBelly78)

I tried all the kid-friendly, organic, unicorn approved ones. She uses Mitchum now or you'd faint.” (Rated by Mumsnet user MrsTerryPratchett) There is a huge choice of deodorants for kids and teens, so when finding the right one for your child, here are some things you may want to consider:Ingredients list - For children’s delicate, young skin, there are some ingredients that you may want to avoid, including aluminium and alcohol. Products that are dermatologically or clinically tested and suitable for sensitive skin or those with allergies are often kinder and more gentle on children’s skin, but may be less effective for heavy sweaters.

There are lots of different deodorants on the market that are specifically tailored for or suitable for children and teenagers, so selecting which one is right for your child can be a real challenge. We’ve thoroughly researched the best deodorants you can buy for children, including analysis of tried and tested experiences from a wide range of reliable sources. Recommendations from real parents Common sense suggests starting with a deodorant that's specifically gentle on skin – look for a product that's 0% aluminium, 0% alcohol and has a sensitive skin formulation. And remember, you’ll need to support whatever deodorant you choose with a regime of regular bathing and daily clean clothes, preferably in natural, breathable fabrics. Perhaps try Aromaco from Lush. It comes in a bar, and is very gentle.” (Vetted by Mumsnet user GiveUsACoffee) Do a patch test first and within 48 hours you’ll see evidence of any allergic reaction in itches, bumpy or red skin. Should kids use deodorant or antiperspirant? Green people make a lovely one - my daughter used it from about eight onwards.” (Recommended by Mumsnet user Raspberry10)

With no nasties or chemicals to worry about, Fresh Monster can set to work eliminating odours with a refreshing gender-neutral gummy bear scent. Pros Whilst it won't prevent your child from perspiring, Bionsen spray can help neutralise the bacteria that leads to body odour and keep your child feeling fresh for the entire day. We use Nuud on our sweaty nine-year-old DD - only a teensy bit and it seems to work.” (Tried and tested by Mumsnetter Imkindreally) Whilst not marketed specifically for children, Bionsen is a popular choice of deodorant for kids due to its formulation, which is dermatologically tested and proven to be gentle on sensitive skin, whilst also being free from aluminium and unwelcome parabens. Mitchum (along with Sure and Dove) scores highly with Mumsnetters because of its reliable protection, claiming to last overnight and even into the next day. It’s worth noting however that the ingredients list contains aluminium, which may put some parents off unless your child is older and particularly active. Pros
