Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Looking at 54 reviews, reviewers overwhelmingly had a great experience with this company. Customers consistently praise the product for its effectiveness, noting that it works reliably to keep them fresh and odor-free throughout the day, even during physical activity or hot weather. Many appreciate that it's gentle on the skin, preventing irritation that other deodorants might cause, and they love the pleasant, long-lasting scents. The quality of the product is also frequently highlighted, with many finding it superior to other natural deodorants they've tried. However, some people were dissatisfied with the user experience, specifically regarding the packaging. Several reviewers found the metal case to be too heavy, making it less convenient for travel or daily carrying. There were also mentions of the push-up mechanism being difficult to use, sometimes dispensing too much product or causing mess around the lid, leading to product waste.

Shipped quickly.

Shipped quickly.
Case is too heavy, large and grossly overpriced-extremely disappointing. The deodorant seems effective and smells good but again is very much on the expensive side. If you have money to burn a good product otherwise forget it.

Reply from Shift Natural Deodorant

Thanks for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re really glad to hear the deodorant itself is working well for you and that you like the scent.

The case is intentionally made from aluminium rather than plastic so it’s durable and designed to be reused for years with our refill system. That does mean it’s a little heavier than typical deodorants, but the aim is to create something that lasts rather than something disposable.

That said, we completely understand that the size, weight and price won’t be for everyone, and we really appreciate the honest feedback as it helps us improve.

We’d love to learn a bit more about your experience and see if there’s anything we can do to make it right. If you’re open to it, please drop us a message at support@giveashift.co and we’ll happily help.

Thanks again for giving Shift a try.

The scent is nice and the product…

The scent is nice and the product itself worked really well. As far as sustainability goes its reasonably good.

Personally the case itself is too heavy for me - especially for day to day use and taking it with me, for at home use only I guess it works well enough. It also smears a lot in the screwable grooves, so a lot of product gets wasted around the cap.

Not an antiperspirant

Smells great and the case being metal is fantastic. My issue is that it doesn’t really stand up as an antiperspirant.

Reply from Shift Natural Deodorant

Thank you so much for your lovely review! Shift is a natural deodorant, which means we’ve chosen not to include typical ingredients found in antiperspirants.

Creating a natural deodorant was important to us. Many deodorants use harsh chemicals and aluminium salts, which can have adverse effects on health. After years of using these types of deodorants it may take some time for your body to adjust to a natural alternative, as aluminium can clog pores. By doing this it stops an important bodily function. Sweating releases toxins, and it can also help promote a strong immune system. So instead of adding aluminium to our deodorant, we made the Shell from it instead.

This product smells amazing

This product smells amazing - it keeps me fresh and smelling good all day. Communication & delivery from this company has been on point. This is one of the best sustainable brands out there

I love the feel of the metal container and it is easy to use, unless you have long nails as then it could be more difficult to push up the deodorant. Wish there were more fragrances and that there were testers as £10 is expensive if you then find you don't like the smell.

Have changed my brand to Shift.

Have recently given up my subscription to another company who sold out to a large conglonmerate.
Tried Shift and am very happy with the product itself. The case is more of a problem it does not self wind and is fiddly to keep in place in use. Were this to be remedied it would be perfect.
The smells are magic. I love them all I have tried.

Love the product and the companies ethos

Love the product and the companies ethos. The product itself seems well made and works well. Not a huge fan of the scent (I went for the Cedarwood one) but there are others to try. Will definitely be keeping an eye on these guys as their products seem great!

The case holds up much better than than rivals

The case holds up much better than than another couple of similar products on the market that I've tried. The mechanism is more sturdy and the product lasts a really good amount of time. The case needs an occasional wipe down but nothing to fault here. Minimal packaging on refills and all clean to recycle, happy subscriber!

Great simple push up function with a lovely quality case to be used time and time again. The deodrant itself is nice, smells lovely and feels gentle on the skin. Can be a little soft. Nice to see no plastic.

Happy Shift user!

I’ve been using shift deodorant for about a month now, during the summer, and it has proven very effective. It smells lovely and the scent lasts, sometimes till the next day. There is no need for me to re-apply deodorant anytime during the day. Daily showering and applying to clean underarms is a must in order to aid effectiveness of the deodorant. It doesn’t leave you feeling sticky and it doesn’t crumble under the arms. Apply Shift after putting on clothes so it doesn’t stain clothes like normal deodorant.

Really lovely! It smells amazing, it protects from unwanted personal odors and its natural doesn’t irritate my skin. Packaging is beautiful although I think it could be lighter - not very travel friendly. I’m definitely staying and subscribing:)

Lots to recommend it

I love the shape of the deodorant stick as it is easy to use and doesn’t take up much space. It is easy to insert the refills and I love th bright colours of the case as they are easy to find in your gym bag.

Great product! A bit of a mess when dealing with subscription and shipping times, BUT the quality makes it worth it. Great smell, and no stink at all, all day!!

A deodorant that truly never lets me down!
I have been using this deodorant for 7-8 months. My favourite scent is definitely the ylang ylang one (the green one), I love how it smells feminine on me but masculine on my boyfriend as it mixes with your natural oils. Not once have I worn this and been caught out smelling (something that wasn’t uncommon for 2 other reusables I have tried- one rhymes with mild and the other rhymes with another word for cat that I don’t think I’m allowed to type🤣). With these other deodorants I found the refills either seemed really loose, would fall out if they were nearing the end and you’d FLY through them! With shift these things last AGES! Since December I have purchased a total of 11 refills, I also give half to my boyfriend and we currently have 5 refills sat on our shelf so when I say long lasting I really mean it!
These may be more expensive than the other competitors mentioned but they last SO much longer! I love the subscription service and the fact you can skip a month or 2 if you end up with a bit of a backstock. They were incredible during the heatwave and I feel like when you’re a bit hotter they actually smell stronger which is great. I’ve even noticed when unwell that I still smelt great the next day without reapplying.
