Bali Secrets Deodorant Review

Bali Secrets is a a “natural” roll-on deodorant made in Bali, an island in Indonesia.  I have been using the Unscented version for about a year now and really like it.

Here are the Bali Secrets deodorant ingredients:

  • Seaweed Extract (Gracilaria verrucosa)
  • Natural Mineral Salt (Potassium alum)
  • Aloe Vera (Aloe barbadensis) Leaf Juice
  • Aqua (Water)
  • Alcohol (Ethanol)
  • Coconut Oil (Cocos nucifera)

The scented varieties also contain various essential oils.

One of the ingredients, Potassium alum, does contain aluminum (Wikipedia: potassium alum), thus this is not aluminum-free deodorant.

This deodorant product has some good features:

  • It works!
  • Certified as cruelty-free.
  • Helpful customer service – I had to contact them once, and they were kind and responsive.

and it has a few negatives:

  • It is expensive, with an Amazon price (at the time of writing) of $13.99 for one bottle
  • It is not uncommon to find an “out-of-stock” notice at Amazon when trying to reorder a favorite scent.
  • The roller has improved, but is still not perfect.  It can dry out and stick if you don’t use it for a few days.
