For the gym rat:

Rose is said to have epic antibacterial properties. So, it’s no surprise that it’s been bottled up for your pit protection.

Advertised as an “effective, non-aerosol spray that eliminates the sources of unpleasant body odor and leaves a luxurious floral aroma,” this organic option does just that.

The best part? The rose leaf extract has mildly astringent properties that refresh and

tone your skin — cleansing away impurities – all the while keeping you smelling all lady-like and whatnot!

For the busy bee on the go:

Bumble and Bee Lemongrass Rosemary Organic Deodorant Spray, $11.95, Bumble and Bee.

Created with an easy-to-read, short, ingredient list including: organic witch hazel, organic coconut oil, organic sunflower oil, organic rice enzymes, organic lemongrass essential oil, and organic rosemary essential oil, you can’t go wrong with this affordable option.

It is both easy to apply and neutralizes odors on contact. Plus, you don’t have to worry about residue causing unsightly clothing stains.

For the germaphobe:
