Make Waves for life!

I've been using Make Waves for over a year now and can honestly say I think I will stick with them for life! I love the scents, the sustainability and the results. I am on the subscription, which always arrives on time and do find that the timing of this is about right. I love that new scents are released from time to time, and the deodorant case looks lovely too!

Fabulous deodorant! Found what I have been looking for 😀

Fabulous deodorant. I was sceptical about how effective this brand would be. I have tried other more natural/earth friendly deodorants and have been disappointed in the past.
This deodorant goes on smoothly (not gritty like some) and lasts all day. The choice of fragrances is brilliant.
I shall definitely continue using this brand and recommend to my friends.

Wish I found this sooner

Wish I found this sooner, in the long run if you like a stick antiperspirant and want one that works well this IS the one, also cheaper in the long run as well. Amazing scents. Great customer service and subscription is adjustable

Once you’ve tried, you won’t go back to another deodrant

Amazing anti-perspirant deodorant. I tried several others (all the big names!) and they smelt nice and disguised body odour but were not anti-perspirant which is what I wanted (no wet patches under your arms!!) Make waves not only smell fab but work a dream even on hots days! Seriously, give them a go…….you won’t regret it.

The perfect anti-perspirant!

A great anti-perspirant that doesn’t leave marks or stains on your clothes, isn’t cakey and actually leaves you fresh and dry all day. Delivery is quick too. I do tend to need to order before the three month mark so the option to change time between deliveries would be useful. The product itself is faultless though. Much less waste compared to similar brands.

Great product and good for the planet too

I was sceptical about using this as I've used a leading spray antiperspirant product for years and was worried this wouldn't work for me. However I wanted a more sustainable product and this fit the bill. I've been pleasantly surprised at how effective it is. It not only keeps me dry, it doesn't stain my clothes, it feels really nice to apply and my underarms look and feel so much softer. I'm so happy I took the plunge and I won't be going back to the non-refillable options ever.

I love this deodorant

I love this deodorant! It is easy to put in a new one when it runs out, and it’s one of the best for being able to use most of the product! I love most of the fragrances, although I’m currently trying their Rhubarb and Raspberry and I’m not too keen on that one unfortunately! Overall, a great product

Responsive small business

I'm very happy with the products from make waves, the anti-perspirant does a good job and has kept my armpits smelling fresh even after a visit to the gym or an afternoon of gardening.

Oli and Owen are very responsive and have top notch customer service, always willing to go the extra mile to keep me and my wife happy.

The fragrances are all pleasant but subtle, with my favourite being amber and bergamot, whereas my wife really likes the pink pomegranate.

If I were to find a criticism. I have found that the subscriptions are not frequent enough for me and my wife's usage. This might be because I'm more liberal with mine, but I tend to go through them quicker than the recommended usage and have to buy a top-up on the non-subscription price.

I wanted to switch to a eco friendly…

I wanted to switch to a eco friendly deodorant. I had tried others on the market and just didn't get on with them and was ready to go back on my sure roll on, when I searched for an eco antiperspirant and found making waves. It did the job straight away no waiting weeks for your body to adjust!? Smells great and works! I would absolutely recommend them and can't wait to try all their scents.

Amazing deodorant, not so amazing scents

I've been using this deo for months now, and now updating my review. It's amazing for anti perspirant - I have tried ALL the natural deodorant brands and none of them work (AKT, fussy, wild, native etc etc etc). This works, it might not be "natural" but it's decent for the environment and about as natural as you can get without stinking of BO. My only gripe is the scents. The vanilla one is the "best" if sweet scents are your thing. Pink pomegranate smells like a cheap candle. Just finished the amber one and it smells like Lynx deodorant :( Just ordered the rose one and the sandalwood...not particularly hopeful but better than BO! I noticed a waxy feeling to my armpits with this deo and it's quite difficult to clean off, but there's no irritation after months of using it so it can't be causing any harm.

Love this antiperspirant company!

Love this antiperspirant! The product works so well and I am so glad to have found a company advocating for really stopping sweat rather than just masking the smell. I love the ethical approach the company takes to everything they do - genuinely thinking about the impact of their choices and not just greenwashing or taking the easy option. I've also found the customer service excellent, the buyer experience has been wonderful.

This product is AMAZING! Have tried other similar deo's with mixed results, this one delivers from every angle, smells fantastic, keeps you dry, lovely to use, great feel and the price is excellent.
Make Waves has changed my shower routine, will never go beck to spray products ever again. Thanks to all the team.
