Being a mom of many, I am always dealing with new challenges as the kids reach different ages. Right now, my three ‘bigs’ are ages 13, 11, & 10 so we are starting to deal with body changes and the inevitable ‘stink’ that comes with it! Finding a good deodorant for them that is natural and budget-friendly wasn’t easy but alas, I finally found it! The perfect natural deodorant for my big kids…StinkBug Naturals!
Natural Deoderant
I myself started using natural deodorant last year and have loved it! Being pregnant I was even more concerned about all of the bad things I was hearing about antiperspirants and decided it was time for a change! I am currently using Earth Mama’s Calming Lavender deodorant because it is specially formulated for pregnancy and breastfeeding!
To learn more about the products I am using, read my post 5 Natural Products I am Using Right Now!
Knowing my kids are just starting to wear deodorant, I wanted to start them on a natural product. 1. because it is way better for them and 2. because then they won’t have to go through any kind of changes or withdraws once they switch over. That’s when I found Stinkbug Naturals!
TIP: The aluminum found in antiperspirants will clog pores, so when you switch from an antiperspirant to a natural, aluminum free deodorant, your body needs time to sweat out or detox those chemicals. (Gross right?!) Click here for more application tips!
Stinkbug Naturals Aluminum Free Deodorant
I learned about Stinkbug Naturals on Instagram (follow them here!) and instantly became curious! After looking through their social media and then their website, www.stinkbugorganics.com, I knew I had to try their products! I ordered the Best Sellers Collection which included their Amber Sage Charcoal, Lavender and Vanilla Mint Charcoal deodorant sticks.
These three scents worked out perfected because the Vanilla Mint and Amber Sage have a nice scent that is masculine enough for my two boys and the Lavender is perfect for my oldest daughter!

A Great Small Business
Stinkbug Naturals is a great, Christ-centered small business that found a need for their family and sought out to fill that need on their own! They make great, cruelty-free products right here in the USA, Pennsylvania to be exact! I love that their small dream has grown into something amazing and it’s impossible not to support that!
They also do a lot of good work, besides creating great natural products! They participate in different foundations and causes in Pennsylvania. Read more on that here!
Budget-Friendly
Often times I find that natural products are much more costly. I understand this to a point because it takes more time and money to produce products in smaller amounts and with less-common ingredients! But we are a large, growing family on a budget so we needed something less expensive! Stinkbug Naturals was perfect…their deodorant sticks are only $7.99! Shipping was super reasonable too…and free for all orders over $39 which is great!
