Natural Deodorant

Barcode 5025452000595

Yes — Natural Deodorant is ultra-processed.

Not a great choice for everyday use under the NOVA classification.

This appears to be a natural deodorant containing water, mineral salts, aloe juice, sunflower oil, glycerin, botanical extracts, and essential oils. It is classified as ultra-processed because it contains natural fragrance and the pre-identified UPF ingredients linalool and limonene, which are isolated fragrance compounds. Geranyl acetate is also an isolated fragrance ingredient. The remaining mineral salts, basic ingredients, botanical extracts, and sunflower oil do not independently make it UPF.
