Using natural deodorants is an essential part of my daily beauty routine and one of my favorites is the Kopari Coconut Deodorant. Since exploring clean beauty this year so many of you have expressed interest in me reviewing more in natural beauty products. As a huge fan of Kopari I’m thrilled to partner with them to share more about their Coconut Deodorant – it’s already a favorite and it’s been featured in a number of favorites and shopping recommendation posts along with their Coconut Melt. This particular deodorant is one of three formulas that I’m very loyal to. As I’ve tested some natural beauty products I’ve found that some formulas can be hit or miss performance-wise, but Kopari products have never let me down. I love this deodorant is aluminum- and baking soda-free, keeps odor away and doesn’t dry out. It’s no surprise so many other people love it as well because it really does work!
I’ve always avoided antiperspirants because of their ingredients. From a young age my mother and aunts always told me not to use them. For those not familiar, note that there is a difference between deodorants and antiperspirants. Antiperspirants are products with ingredients such as aluminum, baking soda and added fragrance to prevent sweating while blocking odor. These include chemicals that block pores to prevent the releasing of sweat. This in turn also prevents you from sweating out the toxins while absorbing aluminum into the body. There have been studies that link these issues to causing breast cancer and while there is a lot of debate about these claims and correlations, it’s a risk I don’t want to take. Deodorants on the other hand have ingredients that block odor but still allow you to sweat out the toxins.
Aside from being natural and non-toxic, the main benefit of using the Kopari Coconut Deodorant for me is that it really does work to keep odor away the entire day. It goes on the skin 100% clear and doesn’t stain white clothes or tees. It has an emollient texture that glides on but doesn’t feel sticky afterwards. It won’t have a powdery or matte dry down because of the formula, but it doesn’t feel thick or greasy. Since it doesn’t contain sweat blocking chemicals I still find that I sweat during a workout but it keeps the odor away even after runs or bike rides in the Florida humidity. For other regular day to day indoor activities it does minimize sweating for me.
It smells like sweet coconuts when you first apply it. The scent is strong but doesn’t interfere with perfume or lotion. I also like that I’ve had a Kopari tube for several months and it has never shown any signs of drying out like some of my other deodorants did way before they were even 1/2 used up. It’s maintained the same consistency and freshness since the day I opened it up.
I’ve been focusing on being more healthy and working on building my strength this past year. Steps have been taken to change our diets to live healthier. I’ve also increased activity with more exercise and weight training to build strength. I’ve taken more care of my body to help cope with stress. Having a more active life style combined with the Florida heat makes me prone to sweating more so having a good deodorant that works is absolutely essential.
I particularly love the fact that there is now a mini version available in the Beauty Besties Set at Sephora. The full size is 2 oz/ 57 g while the mini is 0.9 oz/ 26 g. I had been carrying the full-size around with me from home to my bag to places like the beach or in a bag when we go to the bay to run. The mini size is super convenient to have an extra around to keep in a gym bag or beach bag. So far even in outdoor for extended periods of time heat the stick hasn’t melted in my bag!
I’ve used this Kopari Coconut Deodorant formula for months and like it enough to keep using it consistently. There have been a number of formulas I’ve bought in the past that didn’t work and I tossed after a few tries. I’m really happy with this one. Love that it’s non-toxic, vegan, cruelty-free, and formulated without aluminum, baking soda, and silicone.
As always I’d love to hear your thoughts about natural deodorants that you’ve tried. Let me know what worked or what didn’t for you! If there are any other things in natural beauty you’d like to see reviewed please let me know in the comments! You can watch their #TheTruthStinks Video for more information about this new launch. Kopari Coconut Deodorant is available at Sephora and other Kopari retailers. It’s one I highly recommend.
Many thanks to Kopari for partnering to sponsor this post. As always all opinions are my own.
I recently become so aware of how toxic so many deodorants can be! Need to give this a try

Always glad to see more options for people who prefer deodorants, but it’s a myth that in sweating you “sweat out toxins.” https://news.nationalgeographic.com/2018/04/sweating-toxins-myth-detox-facts-saunas-pollutants-science/
I also purchased the Kopari deodorant based on the great online reviews but as much as I wanted to love it, I’m allergic to propylene glycol which is high enough on the ingredient list that it caused a skin reaction for me. I loved the smell and consistency and I also agree that it doesn’t seem to dry out.
Awww bummer! You might want to check out Lavanila if you haven’t tried them. I also like theirs!
I just started trying the Biossance non-toxic deodorant but if it doesn’t work for me, I’ll try the Lavanila. Thanks for the suggestion!
I like the Kopari ingredient list more than Lavanila because it doesn’t include as many essential oils, but unfortunately I too am allergic to propylene glycol. Maybe someday Kopari will replace the propylene glycol with butylene glycol. If they do I’ll be stocking up!
That would be awesome!
A fragrance-free version would be great too!
My husband and I swear by this deodorant. His mother recently was diagnosed with breast cancer so he took precautions and started to find deodorants that are aluminum free. We tried every natural brand out there, none controlled his odor, stained his clothes, etc. I started switching to pit balms but he wasnt about to put the extra work to apply it. i saw this Sephora one day and immediately ordered it. He uses the tiniest amount and he smells great all day. We both use it now!
Nice to hear you both love this! So sad to hear about your mother-in-law though 🙁
Luckily she caught it very early during a routine mammogram and she will be just fine!

Check this out. I also love the stick verbena. It doesnt last as long in the Florida humidity but I do like it…when I stopped in I was looking at the verbena roll on and they recommended this instead..I was surprised how well this one works in Florida.
That one is in my top 3! Alternate with the Kopari as well 🙂
Wow didn’t know there’s so much bad stuff in deodorants! (Granted I don’t use them because I don’t sweat much 🤷🏻♀️)
Only natural deodorant that works for me.
Can;t find it in Australia at the moment, probably not arrived yet, but will add to my list 🙂
I just can’t get the hang of this deodorant. I wanted it to work for me, but the search continues.
I would love to try this new clean deodorant. I used to the La Vanilla one and it smelled wonderful but found it didn’t last as long as I liked.
This looks great, but I’m not sure it can stand up to my terrible anxiety sweat :/
I actually tried these about 6 months ago after seeing you make a small mention of them. At the time I was also in the first trimester of my pregnancy and couldnt stand the smell of any of the Kopari items – the sugar scrub, body milk and this deodorant! I also just need an anti-persperant so this got tossed and I am back to good ol’ Secret.
I am using Rosypits from Megababe right now (natural deodrant) and it has a really nice fragrance. Would like to try Kopari’s version!
Looks beautiful, but debatable on performance.
I have not yet bitten the bullet with the natural deodorant but this might be the one I choose to try. Like you, I love coconut!
Thank you for reviewing the Kopari deodorant. I’ve been on the hunt for a natural deodorant and trying to decide which ones to try out. This one sounds like a good one to test.
This sounds great. I love natural deodorants and I currently use Salt of the Earth’s Lavender & Vanilla deodorant.
I’m intrigued by these but usually stick with my drugstore Dove. I do typically like coconut though so maybe I’ll give this a shot sometime.
I would like to try more natural deodorants, this sounds good
I just use drugstore deodorants. I like the Dove go fresh because they smell good. I have tried two natural deodorants before but the results were not great one caused me to have a allergic reaction( a lush one) and the other didn’t really help against odor.
I have been using Dove for a long time – but I have been wanting to try Kopari. Maybe I will give it a try!
I have been using natural deodorants since I was a teenager, and I have been wanting to try this one since I first heard about it. My go-to for years has been LAVANILA The Healthy Deodorant, and I think that I have nearly every scent that they make.
Need to try this soon
I have never tried a natural deodorant but this is probably something I need to look into. I usually use either Secret or Suave.
have never tried it .. but its look cool 🙂
I’ve never tried natural deodorant, only simple deodorants but I use only antiperspirants. Deodarant just mask scent but I’m worried about clothes being wet so it’s not for me. But even antiperspirant doesn’t help me if I go to interview for some job:D whether I have to worry or not..I worry anyway 😀
I’ve always doubted that natural deodorants could keep odor away the entire day but, if it’s worked for you while running in Florida, it’s worth a try.
I like Crystal deodorants. But the packaging change is more hideous than it was previously. It’s definitely not vanity friendly. I think Schmidt’s is so hard that it’s painful to use.
I’ll keep an eye out for Kopari. I’ve been wanting to try the Biossance one as well.
