The 10 Best Deodorants For Women In 2026, Tested By A Beauty Editor

Summary: Women's Health beauty editor Nicole Saunders tested dozens of products to find the best deodorants for 2026. During her testing, dermatologists explained that deodorants and antiperspirants actually do two very different things. Deodorants cover up bad smells by fighting the bacteria on your skin. Antiperspirants, on the other hand, use aluminum to plug your sweat glands and stop you from getting wet. If you sweat a lot, you should choose an antiperspirant. If you just want to smell fresh, pick a deodorant. Also, experts and major health groups agree that the aluminum in antiperspirants is totally safe to use every day!
