Loving Make Waves

This is by far my favourite of natural deodorant products I have tried. I like that you can choose either deodorant or anti perspirant. I’ve used this brand for a while now and the three month delivery works for me. I like the product fragrance options and the ethics behind it.

Amazing product

Amazing product, it smells great and works. I don’t stink at the end of the day. Can’t use a lot of antiperspirant due to sensitive skin but no problems with Make Waves.
The subscription service is good, you can pause, delay or speed up your delivery. Definitely recommend.

Excellent antiperspirant

Excellent antiperspirant, long lasting with lovely fragrances. I am very active and had tried loads of deodorants, the ink or good one before this was mitchum: this one is better, less drying and more scents! I took it to Malaysia with me and it worked a treat even in the 30 degree humidity. Postage always fast too.

Easy to use applicator and no mess

Easy to use applicator and no mess. I ditched another brand I tried purely for the fact makewaves leaves no mess and has just enough scent to not be overpowering and keep you feeling fresh all day.

It actually works!!!

Lovely customer service, genuine people making a difference without selling out. If you’re looking for an eco-friendly deodorant this absolutely blows the alternatives on the market out the water.

Love this product

Love this product, switched from another brand that left residue when used and didn't work properly, i find make waves so much better, the scents, the container, how it goes on to the skin and it doesn't cause any irritation.

Great anti perspirant

Easy to order, easy delivery and an eco product that doesn’t disappoint. Delicate fragrance but keeps you dry. One refill lasts for ages.

A little pricey, but the upsides are worth it

The Make Waves antiperspirant products are fabulous. The scents available are all gorgeous and I love that you can mix and match them so you get a fresh smell every couple of weeks. They are a little more pricey than off the shelf stuff, but the convenience of delivery to your door (and very quickly at that!) and the knowledge that you're reducing plastic waste makes purchase worthwhile

Highly recommend

I’ve been using Wave for some months now and it works really well. It’s gentle on my skin and, most importantly, it doesn’t cause any irritation like most roll-on or spray deodorants. I’ve had issues with most other deodorants , but this one has been completely fine.

The smell is subtle, it keeps me feeling fresh and is effective, and easy to use.

The perfect product!…

I previously used a competitor product which I didn’t get on with. I decided to try Make Waves.

Everything about the product is perfect from the case with its smooth operation and lovely feel to the buttery soft antiperspirant. The scents are gorgeous and my skin feels lovely after use too.

If there was any doubt whether the product works, it has completely disappeared. The product is amazing in every way.

It is so easy to use too when it needs refill. It leaves no residue on clothes either.

A perfect experience and faith restored in natural antiperspirants.
