Make Waves deodorant is amazing!! I wanted a natural deodorant that actual works, is kind to your skin and the environment. I've tried a few and they either leave you sweaty and smelling of BO or... See more

I was one of the unlucky ones who suffered burns under my arms from a faulty batch of Mitchum. They were cracked and bleeding and I couldn’t use any deodorant for weeks. I was actually scared to start... See more

I no longer use or subscribe to KinKind (difficulties with the dispenser quality) or Wild (deodorant not antiperspirant). But Make Waves fulfills all my needs. Easy use dispenser, easy change refill... See more

An absolute lifesaver

I struggle with severe body temperature dysregulation, which has made finding a product that actually keeps up with me nearly impossible. I’m so relieved to have found MakeWaves—it is a complete game-changer.

It keeps everything on complete lockdown for a minimum of 24 hours, giving me so much more confidence throughout the day. Beyond the performance, the Jasmine and Rose scent is absolutely amazing; it smells fantastic and isn’t overwhelming. I’ve already fallen in love with it, and I’m genuinely excited to try the Coconut & Vanilla and the Mandarin & Apricot next.

If you have issues with temperature sensitivity or sweating, I cannot recommend this enough. It’s worth every penny!

I love Make Waves

I love Make Waves! I've tried both Fussy and Wild and much prefer MW. I love that they have both deodorant and antiperspirant options. I use the antiperspirant and it really works! Since swapping to MW antiperspirants I have stopped sweating and I smell good. I really like coconut and vanilla for a fresh scent.
I would love to see some more new scents added in time, and to be able to buy in local shops would be great.
Keep up the good work!

Most effective by far

I have tried the top three eco deodorants/antiperspirants and this is by far the most effective, least messy of them all. Only tried one scent so far but it was delicious. Only one down side……can we have more scents to try please 😄

Saving the planet a little at a time…

I tried Make Waves after trying a few different natural deodorants. Out of them all Make Waves was the best one in all ways from the smell, the all day dryness and of course doing that little bit for the planet. I also like that I don't need to subscribe and that I can choose different fragrances. It's super easy to order on line and the delivery is quick.

Top notch deodorant

Love the product, packaging, subscription. The top thing has got to be that it has no harmful ingredients in it. I am a gym goer and never worry about this product letting me down!

Make waves antiperspirant deodorant is…

Make waves antiperspirant deodorant is amazing. I brought it for my teenage son as nothing worked to keep him smelling fresh. He's been using it for 2 weeks and the difference is amazing. After a full day at school with PE nothing ! no smell on him or his clothes. I brought the unscented so he could still use a body spray if he wanted.

Amazing antiperspirant, kind to environment

I have been using Making waves for 6 months now. Supermarket deodorant sticks were making my underarms sore and I could not find one that was effective.
I use the antiperspirant deodorants from Making waves and they are great. I stay smelling fresh all day, even after exercise! There’s no irritation. My favourite is Jasmine and rose. The fact they reduce plastic production is a bonus.

You won't regret trying this!

Can't believe I waited so long before trying this. I guess I was a bit sceptical. I bought the antiperspirant (coconut & vanilla) ... smells lovely, no sticky residue and, best of all, no sweat patches! Fabulous product.

Genuinely changed my life

Having never found anything that stops or even reduces my sweating, MakeWaves has literally changed my life. I've never had issues with odour but just big embarrassing wet patches, and that is practically a thing of the past! Provided i remember to apply literally first thing in the morning or last thing before bed, I literally don't sweat. It's genuinely amazing and id recommend it to anyone who is sick of being a sweaty mess. Bring on cute summer tops!

Love all the different smells…

Love all the different smells I have tried. Feels great, easy to use. Had issue with washing it off in the shower but messaged and got response very quickly that I was probably using too much and not problems since then. Great company to deal with and great product

I would highly recommend

After having a horrible experience with another Brand I made the change to Make Waves in December 2025 and I can honestly say there is no turning back, I now have my Daughter signed up and have also recommended Make Waves to many friends and Family - the scents are amazing and they keep me dry all day so no need for reapplication unlike others. Gentle but strong. It was easy to sign up and reorder. I would highly recommend Makes Waves.

Favourite Deodorant Brand Yet!

ive gone from one make to another and Make Waves have got to be the best by far, their formulas are creamy and nice to the skin 'especially sensitive skin' as i have , they always smell so good and lasts all day into the night, ive tried most of them and i do prefer anti perspirant deodorant as my choice of deodorant, coconut and vanilla being my favourite, mandarin and apricot being the second fave ♥️ thank you make waves for the wonderful products you make and help cleaning up the oceans
