Make Waves deodorant is amazing!! I wanted a natural deodorant that actual works, is kind to your skin and the environment. I've tried a few and they either leave you sweaty and smelling of BO or... See more

We create design-led products with a purpose that challenge behaviours around sustainability. Sustainability isn’t a handful of people living perfectly. It’s millions of us doing it imperfectly every day. Every swap to a more positive choice makes a difference. That means making more positive choices accessible by offering innovative swaps to new products that support a fulfilled life - made as sustainably as we can and always working hard to improve by listening to you, our community. Sustainability shouldn’t be an exclusive club, it should be inclusive, which is why we have made both natural and antiperspirant deodorants.

Its ok.
It's an okay antiperspirant, and seriously, no fragrance at all. I used to use another competitor brand which had a beautiful fragrance but switched to this as it was very waxy with white residues. Make waves; also still is waxy with white residue.
Love the product
Love the product! Smells divine and also leaving less plastic to lay around
I've tried a lot of natural deodorants…
I've tried a lot of natural deodorants without much success. They are either too solid so I have to walk about with the deo under my arm until it softens or I get a painful rash. I even dumped a deo delivery because my hands are too small the press the buttons on either side of the applicator to load the deo and I needed help from a second person. Overall I like Make Waves which is just about perfect. I can have an antiperspirant in the summer and a natural deo in the winter and it's creamy enough to apply. The scent I chose is Sandalwood and Patchouli because all of my smellies have sandalwood and Patchoiuli in them so it's a good match. By way of a constructive criticism I'd like a little cedar in there too.
Great products
Great products, keep me feeling fresh all day. Fantastic service
Great customer service
Great customer service and the stick actually feels like a cream going on your skin.
I love ‘Make Waves’ antiperspirant as I…
I love ‘Make Waves’ antiperspirant as I do a lot of sports and it really helps stop the smell of BO. They come in lots of lovely smells which aren’t too harsh for the nose. I find getting them delivered really helpful as I don’t have to think about it and you get a warning before each delivery so they can be delayed if needed.
Great smelling and effective anti-perspirant
I bought Make Waves for my daughter, who loves it. She's previously used deodorant, many of them natural, and most were not affective. She is really happy and loves the scent. Hoping this will continue to keep her smelling fresh for a long time to come.
I really like the Waves
I really like the Waves. It’s lovely and soft and smooth to apply underarms.
It really works keeps me fresh at work and at the gym. It’s got a robust container too I’ve dropped it a couple of times and it survived intact.
I’ve got the subscription which is great.
A very happy customer - great product
I am so happy to find this brand. I have tried other sustainable refillable deodorants but this is actually antiperspirant- smells great and really works. It feels silky on the skin, dries fast, and my first one is lasting a long time. I have received 3 more and I’m eager to try the different scents.
Everything is beautifully packaged and communication is good. I will be buying this product regularly in the future.

Smells lovely and glides on really well
I have tried other reusable deodorants in the past including Wild and Fussy and this hands down is the best !!

I've been using Make Waves for 6 months and it's the best antiperspirant I've ever used. I genuinely don't sweat or smell any more plus I get no marks on my clothing. Definitely recommend

My son suggested Make Waves as he loves the antiperspirant. Now I do too. It glides on, smells great and does a great job. Great ethical company too!
Seriously not worth it
The packaging was completely unfit for purpose, items just dumped in a flimsy box with brown paper that got banged up in transit. Definitely not the nice post box style shown on the website. The item itself feels cheap and flimsy too. And the actual antiperspirant is so soft it collapses at the slightest touch. It won't last a week let alone a month. All in all complete rubbish.
I changed from another brand that I had…
I changed from another brand that I had been using for years which had become less 'ethical' and so I am pleased to have found this product-I am using the deodorant not the antiperspirant- and so far so good! My daughter has also been using the antiperspirant since I bought for her for Xmas and she's very impressed!
Surprisingly good!
I was honestly surprised by how good this antiperspirant is. Having needed to use Mitchum and the like for years due to heavy perspiration I was sceptical but thought I would take advantage of the black Friday offer and I have been a returning customer since. I am kept dry through heavy gym workouts and running around after my kid. The scents are refreshing and I like that I can change it up if I want to.
I feel like I am doing my bit by cutting down on plastic use. The refillable container is pretty but sturdy and has been slung around in suitcases and in my gym bag but still looks as good as new!
The customer service is great.
Very impressed with product and customer service!
I switched from my usual aerosol in preparation for having my baby as wanted something more natural. So glad I made the switch - the antiperspirant works so well, I’m so impressed! The scents are gorgeous (currently on sandalwood and patchouli) and I feel great knowing it’s safer and kinder to my baby, myself and the planet. I had to contact customer care regarding my subscription and received a super speedy and helpful response. Highly recommend Make Waves! Thank you!!
Minimalist aesthetic antiperspirant…
Minimalist aesthetic antiperspirant that not only pleases the senses but is also effective in keeping one dry and comfortable throughout the day. Perfection.
Make Waves is the best deodorant I have…
Make Waves is the best deodorant I have used. I have tried most of the natural deodorants on the market and Make Waves wins hands down. The applicator is easy enough to change and the deodorant’s smell lovely. I would highly recommend.
Repaired underarms!
I was one of the unlucky ones who suffered burns under my arms from a faulty batch of Mitchum. They were cracked and bleeding and I couldn’t use any deodorant for weeks. I was actually scared to start using any again but absolutely love this it’s gentle but does the trick!
Unrivalled performance from a sustainable deodorant
I used Mitchum for years as i could never find another anti-perspirant that worked as well but hated the white marks and wanted a more ethical product. I tried others but they were either ineffective (im a regular gym goer and a sweater!) or the application was tricky. I was sceptical that Make Waves would be any different but have been so impressed with the performance of this product and it smells amazing with no white marks. Just working my way through all the flavours to find my favourite. One very happy customer 😊
