I Was Skeptical Of Refillable Deodorants Until I Tried Wild
Going into the New Year, I was determined to stay consistent with my workouts, but finding a vegan, plastic-free deodorant that keeps up was tougher than I expected. That search eventually led me to Wild. Keep reading for my full review, or skip to:
The Brand
Backed by 70,000 five-star Trustpilot reviews, Wild is refillable body care without the garbage. Their Stick Deodorant is made with over 98% natural origin ingredients. Even though they skip parabens, talc, and other harsh additives common in deodorants, their vegan formulas deliver 24-hour freshness.
Wild offers a range of delicious scents that simmer and linger. And they regularly rotate 10–12 options, including limited-edition drops, seasonal, and special holiday releases. Their products have captivating designs with customizable cases known for their whimsical charm.
It’s a simple and smart refillable system with refills made from bamboo pulp, so they’re 100% plastic-free and widely recyclable.
My First Impression
I recently made the switch to vegan deodorant because I wanted something single-use plastic-free and kinder to my skin. The challenge was finding one that could actually keep up with my workouts.
The thing is, I sweat heavily. Always have. I’ve spent years feeling self-conscious about it, especially in group fitness classes. During some intense HIIT sessions, I’d wonder if other people were noticing too. Maybe I was imagining it, but by the end of class, people in the row beside me had drifted away.
I didn’t want to give up the gym or hit the New Year with this problem. What caught my attention was my spin class friend who always smells fresh, even afterward. One day in the locker room, I saw she was using a Wild stick deo in an adorable case covered in bees.
After cycling through a bunch of vegan deodorants that talk big but tanked, I have major trust issues. I basically assume a product will fail before any class is over, even yoga. But Wild’s affectionate nod to “certified sweaty people” made me smile. And they have a 30-day money-back guarantee, so I gave it a shot.
Ordering is a breeze: choose your Wild deodorant case — that’s the reusable outer shell. Then choose your fragrance from a scent-sational lineup of stick deodorants like Fresh Cotton & Sea Salt or Pink Grapefruit & Lime. And when the deodorant inside runs out, you swap in a refill stick instead of tossing the entire thing.
Final Verdict
After ages of trying vegan deodorants that didn’t live up to the hype, this year I’m giving my heart to Wild.
Here’s how it works: after my morning shower or before heading out, I swipe it on a couple of times. Then give it a quick rub to help it absorb. Wild stick has a creamy texture, so it takes a minute. But then I’m good. The solid stick absorbs moisture, neutralizes odor, and keeps up with sweaty sessions — love!
In fact, I love Wild so much I keep a stick in my bathroom (the aqua case is sleek!). Plus, I carry a beachy Coconut & Vanilla mini deo in my everyday bag. Each refill lasts 4–6 weeks — subscribe and save 20%, with the options to edit, skip, or cancel anytime. Finally, a super fun, refillable deodorant powered by nature that’s kind to my skin, better for the planet, and gets me through those challenging workouts.
It’s 2026 — Time to go Wild.
