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 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

So many deodorants tried and nothing…

So many deodorants tried and nothing worked as well as WAVES. No itching and I have no more sweat marks under my arms. Delivery was fast and efficient.
Honestly would recommend for those who love a natural deo but never found the elusive one that actually works.

Convert for life

I’ve been a customer of Make Waves for about a year now. I love it! I use the anti-perspirant stick, it’s great for travel and smells wonderful. I have now converted my husband to Make Waves and he loves it too 😀

The product is excellent

The product is excellent, smells great and works! The subscription is efficient and you can alter the fragrances easily. I like the fact it is eco friendly too.

Great company and great product!

Really helpful customer service, and the antiperspirant itself is fantastic. I feel like it’s one of the only antiperspirants that actually helps my hyperhidrosis. Have already recommended to everyone I know but if you’re reading this and are unsure as to whether to purchase, do it!

Make Waves is the best

Make Waves works, really works. It smells great, isn’t sticky or clumpy, lasts all day, goes on smoothly, there isn’t a single negative thing to say. I’ve tried other natural deodorants and without a doubt Make Waves is the best.

Try it and you won’t look back

I was very sceptical about moving away from aerosol antiperspirants, especially the thought of smelling when it was hot. However I needn’t have worried. Since using Make Waves, I feel even more secure than before. Plus the skin under my arms, which used to get irritated, is so much better.
The scents are fantastic and orders are delivered really quickly. I really cannot recommend them enough.

Love this product!

Love this product!! Swapped to Make Waves after a friends recommendation as I was struggling to find a natural product that worked for me… and now I’ve definitely found it!!
It has stood up to some pretty sweaty moments lambing (still smelling lovely even hours after I’ve applied it) and now the sun!
Would recommend to anyone wanting a natural product that works.

I love this product

I love this product, much better than other ones I have tried, The scents are nice and the smell lasts all day,
The website is easy to use and easy to change scents or dates. I started using in December and will continue to use, definitely wort the money

Probably one of the worst companies…

Probably one of the worst companies I've dealt with.
Awful product. It doesn't work at all and it smells awful.
They continued to send me out a subscription after I had cancelled and also charged me for it and won't refund.
The rudest replies from customer service. AVOID

Quick delivery

Quick delivery, nice surprise of 25% off because the packaging was not up to usual standard.
Love the whole ethos of Make Waves and although a lot of companies have jumped onto this particular bandwagon, I believe Make Waves is the best. I find that the anti-perspirants work very well, are non sticky,smell very nice and dispel any odours, so at the end of the day I can still smell the perfume of the products. What's not to love!!

It works!

I've found it hard to find an antiperspirant that works, and I've tried lots, both natural and commercial brands, but Make Waves really does! The scents are very pleasant but not overpowering. I'm amazed that there's not a trace of odour ever, even after a strenuous day. Would highly recommend.

Very good product that actually works

Very good product that actually works! And the range of options regarding smell is good too! I’d definitely recommend. I had a problem with delivery and they were quick to send me out a replacement which was good customer service! Thank you Make Waves!

Make waves

I have been using this for some time now having tried two other refillable deodorants. I like this one best - It’s a good product, lovely smell and a great selection of scents. Deliveries are on time so I never run out.

10/10

I tried this product having used two other natural deodorants, but not antiperspirants. It’s changed my life since then! I work in an active job in an environment that can get quite warm so getting sweaty at work has always been a problem for me, this has reduced it so much! It’s allowed me to walk to work in my uniform without feeling like I need to have a change of clothes before the day has started, and travel on the underground without worrying about sweating. I’ve also noticed a lot less white residue compared to other brands so less likely to get on my clothes. Only thing I wasn’t sure about at first was the plastic packing of the refills, but then I received an email from the company explaining why they chose recycled plastic over cardboard and since then I’ve been completely sold and recommending it to everyone. Subscribed for life!

The one for me

This is the only type of this deodorant that I have subscribed to and stayed with. The scents are lovely. I've found that I do need quite a powerful deodorant so was a bit concerned that these wouldn't meet my needs. I used them all through the summer last year and they kept my dry and smelling good all day! I like that the subscription is so easy to manage and can be paused/restarted easily on the website. I have recommended this deodorant to several people and the ones who have ordered say they are very impressed with the product. I can't imagine I will ever go back to any other deodorant now.
