Bionsen Spray , 150 millilitre

Product Information

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. There is a huge choice of deodorants for kids and teens, so when finding the right one for your child, here are some things you may want to consider: Cancer Research have created a helpful report on the controversies surrounding deodorant additives and the specific risks associated with cosmetics and toiletries. What kind of deodorant is best for a child? 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.

Mitchum (along with Sure and Dove) scores highly with Mumsnetters because of its reliable protection, claiming to last overnight and even into the next day. It’s worth noting however that the ingredients list contains aluminium, which may put some parents off unless your child is older and particularly active. Pros I bought this one for my nine-year-old and he’s getting on great with it” (Tried and tested by Mumsnet user JellyBelly78)

2. Best budget deodorant for kids: Bionsen Aluminium-Free Mineral Protective Deodorant

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 tried all the kid-friendly, organic, unicorn approved ones. She uses Mitchum now or you'd faint.” (Rated by Mumsnet user MrsTerryPratchett) One reason is that sweating is natural – your body doesn’t do it for fun, it’s trying to regulate your temperature and keep you cool. 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. 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)

They say: ‘Infused with organic, skin loving essential oils, this gentle and effective deodorant is aluminium free and clinically proven to protect against odour for 24 hours, thanks to cleansing shikimic acid and absorbing bamboo powder.’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. Scrubbingtons Pit Stop is designed for preteens - it has less harsh chemicals in but seems to stop the stink.” (Recommended by Mumsnetter HPandTheNeverEndingBedtime) Once you’re resolved to push the button, glide the roll-on or smear the cream, getting the right deodorant for your child will be a process of trial and error.
