Product Information

With no nasties or chemicals to worry about, Fresh Monster can set to work eliminating odours with a refreshing gender-neutral gummy bear scent. Pros Our company mission is to empower children – there are so many things that parents need to teach their children, the most basic of which is washing and personal hygiene, so we thought we would develop a range of products that help children to wash themselves. Baby walkers are a common shower gift and considered a must-have item in some circles. While in others baby walkers are considered taboo. So, what should parents know about baby walkers? Are baby walkers safe for your child to use? These are questions you may be asking as your infant is getting to the age where he or she is starting to walk and explore. Although baby walkers may be a popular gift and toy, the reality is they are actually quite unsafe. I highly recommend this one. I use it and my 11-year-old DD is now using it. It lasts three days and is aluminium-free. It comes in a little pot so you have to use a finger to put it on but it works. It’s hard to find one aluminium-free that actually works.” (Rated by Mumsnet user DDMAC) PitRok (completely natural product with no nasties in it) is great, but once they really start to really, really honk they might need something stronger.” (As tested by Mumsnetter educatingrati)

Despite some concerns from parents about the safety of deodorant for kids, there are no medical age restrictions on the age children can start using deodorant. The biggest concern is around the ingredients, particularly aluminium. Most of us use deodorant every day without a second thought, but when it comes to placing chemicals on our children's delicate skin, a bit more research may be required. Here are the best deodorants for kids that you can buy. Green people make a lovely one - my daughter used it from about eight onwards.” (Recommended by Mumsnet user Raspberry10)

6. Best roll-on deodorant for kids: MooGoo Natural Deodorant

Your tween or teen’s deodorant should be safe and effective. It should be aluminum- and chemical-free, and made with sensitive ingredients. But, even more important, it shouldn’t spur feelings of embarrassment or resentment. Wearing deodorant means embracing a major aspect of growing up. It might be hard for you — but it’s probably even harder for your child. So remember to welcome this new phase with an open mind so your kiddo feels comfortable and accepted. Puberty is awkward enough on its own without the added stigma of stinky armpits.

We use Trust. It's a cream, you use a tiny bit and it stops the odour for a week, lasts through baths and showers.” (Recommended by Mumsnetter notapizzaeater)

Ingredients list - For children’s delicate, young skin, there are some ingredients that you may want to avoid, including aluminium and alcohol. Products that are dermatologically or clinically tested and suitable for sensitive skin or those with allergies are often kinder and more gentle on children’s skin, but may be less effective for heavy sweaters. It can be used on pits, feet and even sprayed into shoes. Users recommend two to three sprays per armpit and wiping away any excess liquid for maximum comfort and effectiveness. Pros If your kiddo has sensitive skin, this option from Native, made with all naturally derived ingredients, is the way to go. It is baking-soda-free and fragrance-free, but it goes on smooth and works for hours without causing irritation. Whilst it won't prevent your child from perspiring, Bionsen spray can help neutralise the bacteria that leads to body odour and keep your child feeling fresh for the entire day. That’s why they are foaming as it’s so much easier (and more fun) for kids to use and all of our range is 98% natural which we know is really important to parents who still need to care for a child’s delicate skin.

My sensory DS couldn’t cope with any roll-on. But he has been OK with the salt spray, which seems amazingly effective. He's now 15 and it still seems to keep the whiffs at bay. It’s dear, but lasts for ages.” (Rated by Mumsnetter averythinline) Natural ingredients - Deodorants made from natural products are increasing in popularity, but it’s worth noting that your child’s body will need time to adjust and for the deodorant to start working, whereas traditional deodorants are more likely to work from the first application. Touch on hygiene and why it’s important to stay showered and clean: If your tween groans every time you say the word “shower,” you’ll want to talk about the pillars of healthy hygiene. It’s important for the wellness of their bodies and minds to rinse off, use soap, and exercise “self-care.” Instill proper grooming habits and establish a morning and evening routine that includes washing body parts and using deodorant. Is your child particularly active? - Whilst some of the natural options and deodorants aimed at children will be effective for young users experiencing mild body odour, if your child is particularly active, sporty or exercises regularly, they may need a stronger adult deodorant. I buy my DS a non-aluminium roll-on called Bionsen. It's blue. Very gentle and effective.” (Brand recommended by Mumsnetter DonPablo)This is a great starter option made specifically for kids. It offers strong odor control, but it is formulated with gentle ingredients for your child’s sensitive skin. It features a kid-size applicator that is the perfect width for your tween’s underarm area. Plus, it goes on clear to prevent clothing stains. Another sustainable choice that received a lot of love on the Mumsnet forums was Nuud - a natural deodorant that is not only alcohol and aluminium-free, but is also 100% vegan, isn't tested on animals and has no artificial perfume or fragrance. This is one that splits the crowd. For its fans, Oy! (Organic Young) is a natural and organic product with a concentrated formula meaning a little goes a long way. With a pleasingly strong fragrance of orange and vanilla, it also includes herbal extracts to soothe and nourish skin.

Scrubbington’s was created by two friends with a passion for making life easier, brands and their children. Mumsnetters who want a green, clean and chemical-free deodorant say that this spray can be a great alternative to applying a roll-on, which can often be met with resistance from children with sensory issues. I bought this one for my nine-year-old and he’s getting on great with it” (Tried and tested by Mumsnet user JellyBelly78) I’ve converted the whole family including my very sweaty, stinky DH, god love him. Comes in a tube made from sugar and you end up needing to put it on every few days. It is fab.” (Recommended by Mumsnet user MrsArchchancellorRidcully) Starting out, the best advice is to embrace first principles. When your child uses a deodorant for the first time, you simply won't know how it will affect their skin or how effective the spray, roll-on or cream will be. Children with sensory issues might struggle with the feel of a product, or simply resist altogether, so take it slow.Do a patch test first and within 48 hours you’ll see evidence of any allergic reaction in itches, bumpy or red skin. Should kids use deodorant or antiperspirant? DD (12) and DS (14) use Mitchum cream deodorant which is quite hardcore but their sweat really smells otherwise, especially after PE and walking to and from school.” (Recommended by Mumsnetter TantricTwist)
