AI reviews summary
No Pong is highly regarded for its exceptional odour protection and natural ingredient profile, with many users reporting it outperforms traditional chemical-based deodorants even during intense physical activity. While the majority of feedback is overwhelmingly positive, there is a significant recurring issue regarding severe skin reactions, such as rashes and inflammation, specifically linked to the bicarbonate-based formulas. Despite these sensitivities, the brand is frequently praised for its responsive customer service and the efficacy of its bicarb-free alternatives.
Pros
Cons
Verdict
No Pong is an excellent choice for those seeking a high-performance natural deodorant, provided they do not have a sensitivity to bicarbonate of soda. Users with sensitive skin should opt for the bicarb-free range to avoid the risk of severe irritation reported with the original formula.
Always seen the commercials and Social media adds for this product. I sweat a lot and have tried all deodorants, even mens as a last resort. While shopping at Coles noticed they sold No Pong. So why not My first week of using it and can highly recommend it. I smell fresh and clean all day. All my problems solved Finally found my holy grail Show details · 1
Didn't work for me. Started to fail mid afternoon in hot weather. And quite expensive compared to my regular roll on , containing aluminium. Sadly I have not been able to find a good alternative for this additive. Show details
I enjoyed it to begin with then developed a terrible rash. It was painful and felt like my lymph glands were inflamed and irritated. I have never had eczema and went to the doctor about it. The blood test indicated higher white blood cells as they may be fighting a reaction or infection. I have stopped using this deodorant immediately. Show details
Oh no!! We're so sorry to hear that you experienced some irritation. We'll PM you shortly to assist you further.

I'm so grateful! I was saved by your products at our catchball tournament. It's great to have an Australian-made deodorant that is natural and devoid of aluminium. It helped me stay energised and fresh during the entire catchball competition. Show details · 1
Love the Bi-carb free as I have sensitive skin. The lime fragrance is refreshing The smaller tins are fabulous for overseas travel when weight counts! Overall it is so effective for hot steamy days. I love it. Show details · 2
Been buying for years. Fantastic product, good value for money. Lasts a long time. Show details · 1
We love the No Pong product and have been using it for years now. Recently, we had a few garments that developed large-looking, greasy stains, but I haven't yet found a perfect deodorant. At least this one has been working very well, which is especially important for us, as we often go on hikes for days and sometimes don't have access to washing… Read more · 3
facilities. One needs to be cautious about the amount used. The company provided me with a solution to remove the stain. I hope it works. I recommend the product.

I have been buying no pong for years now. I love all their different scents but I always come back to original. Their customer service is out of this world awesome. Complete value for money. Highly recommend. Show details · 1
Follow-up · Texture is smooth and always soft even in the colder months. You can get a bit of residue on the underarm if you get dressed straight away when it hasn't soaked in, and material is right up against your underarm, but this washes out. You don't need much each day, with a little going a long way the tins last ages. The 85g tins are better value. I rotate fragrances all the time. Love them.
Spicy Chai for ever – I have been using No Pong for a few years. Have tried other brands but they don't work as well. I love that No Pong has a subtle fragrance. Spicy Chai is my long-term favourite!!! Show details · 2
Follow-up · I am still using this product and tend to buy the larger tins online. I find the texture smooth and creamy. Have noticed some colour transfer on white shirts but this washes out easily in a normal cold wash. While it does not stop me sweating, I don't have to worry about the smell even after several hours of hiking.
I have just started using it after being sick of the ineffectiveness of chemicals in the usual products. It is Amazing and is better than my best expectations! Even when sweating at the gym, I don't smell. Thank you so much! Show details · 2
Follow-up · It lasts me all day long even in Summer and even 2 days where a shower hasn't been available. Texture is smooth and is easy to wash off. Best product on the market by far.

No Pong = Worst Red Irritating Rash – I started using the No Pong Chai about 2 years ago and within a couple of weeks noticed it started to give me a sore red bump rash under one of my armpits. I changed over to the bi-carb free version and have been using it as directed, water intake has actually increased however in the last 3 months the rash has reappeared worse than ever both… Read more
armpits are now covered in a vicious red rash, so itchy and painful, I've been using a cortisol cream to clam it down, after 7 days it's back again and then changed to use an antifungal with cortisol cream as directed by my doctor again after 7 days the rash appears again. It seems like many others have said the only time the rash calms is over the course of not using the product. For medical reasons I'm not allowed to use a stronger ointment to help my skin and bases on other people's reviews I will be stopping use of this product and discarding it, shame I still have 2 unopened tins at home what a waste of money.
Thank you for sharing your review of No Pong, Lina! We're… Read more

Worth Every Reasonable (S)cent! :P – I saw this on my Instagram feed a few months ago, rolled my eyes and thought to myself - 'another gimmicky ad'....UNTIL, I saw it pop up on my Facebook feed as well - that's when I started to read the comments from profiles that looked 'legit'. I have a pre-teen that is currently undergoing pre-puberty changes and one that is a teenager - both… Read more · 1
have sensitive skin (eczema & skin irritations). Both are currently 'suffering' through the teen 'smell-o' years, where body hair is growing, body odours are changing and I couldn't for the life of me find ANY deodorant products that were easy on sensitive skin, plus neutralises body odour. Trust me, I spend a small fortune trying anything I could purchase 'on-shelf'.
After reading a few decent reviews, both positive and negative - I decided to jump online and look for myself. I was pleasantly surprised at how well priced the No Pong items are! The tins looks small but they stretch the budget out if applied as per directions.
I surprisingly received the items within the week of ordering but, doubted myself in the first instance that I would actually receive them and contacted customer support whom were extremely helpful and patient with my stupid anxiety. They were reassuring and replied to my email promptly and professionally.
The No Pong itself is non-greasy according to my semi-little humans, AND it actually does work. I know this is TMI but I conducted the 'mum sniff' as my kids walked past me during the first day of using No Pong - and I can happily say that from their morning shower to their evening shower, there were no-wafty BO odours, etc.
I have just had to make my second order (one large and two small). I ordered them 30 December and they arrived yesterday 4 January.
So thank you No Pong - you've saved my kids from the awkward teen smell embarrassment! They absolutely LOVE this product.
PROS:
> Cost effective > Non-greasy formula > Catering for sensitive and normal skin - also has a vegan option (so a great inclusive company) > Locally owned > Supportive Customer Care > Great delivery turn around for Metro areas > Neutral scents for use by anyone > Recyclable casement and packaging > Great sale prices > Reasonable, non-inflated postage & handling prices > Effective for everyday wear
CONS:
> Wish I could buy in-store locally > Would like to see more diversity scent-wise > Some may struggle with the application
FEEDBACK:
Would love to see what and if No Pong could create new scents, like 'green-tea', 'mint' or 'pineapple'. Even larger tins would be awesome!
Will NP ever bring out a customised applicator? Like a little scoop 'spoon' or a 'fat paddle-pop stick' type applicator, that some products globally use for this type of substance?
Thanks again No Pong - here's to a potentially long term relationship!
Happy New Year Team!
AWESOME customer service – I would like to thank and compliment the No Pong team for their EXCELLENT customer service and standing by their product. I have a bad reaction to the original scent version of No Pong. I left comments on a couple of their advert threads about my reaction to their product and I sent an email regarding my issue. I received quick responses from 3… Read more · 1
lovely team members who offered their concerns and suggestions about my sensitive skin to this product. An offer of a free sample of their bicarb free product was offered. I didn't require the complimentary sample as I purchased the bicarb free product yesterday on advice from several happy customers who use the bicarb free product.
A full refund for my 2x 85grm tins was issued promptly and No Pong allowed me to keep the product without the hassle of having to send it back.
This is excellent customer service by a company who stands by their products and cares for their customers. Thanks again No Pong team. I'm looking forward to trying your bicarb free product. If it turns out that the bicarb product doesn't work for me because of my skin type, I would STILL recommend No Pong due to their fantastic customer service.

This is the best stuff I’ve ever used in my life deodorant. I went out all day to the zoo 29* I went out last Friday all day all night dancing you do not sweat you do not smell. It is fantastic. Show details · 1
I admit I was dubious about the effectiveness of an all natural product & had resisted trying for years. Finally I decided to give it a go & OMG…..this stuff is AMAZING & I’m sorry I waited so long and I’m now working my way through the other varieties. Show details · 1
I love my No Pong, I’m a sweaty bloke, I work in the Gym. No Pong gets me through even the sweatiest days. I love that I don’t smell like perfume or b.o. So good. Show details · 1

I used No Pong Original and thought it was amazing. Did everything they advertised ie no smell, all day long. That was until I experienced a severe eczema reaction not long after using it. My pits (and the surrounds) have been red, uncontrollably itchy and and inflammed ever since the reaction. My pit area now looks absolutely terrible. I stopped… Read more
using No Pong Original 4 months ago. Obviously not everyone's skin will react as badly as mine did, with most having no allergic reaction at all. Just be cautious. I am hopeful that one day soon, my pits will go back to normal.... fingers crossed!!

60+ man with a lifetime of using 'traditional' anti perspirants and deodorants - generally whatever is on discount shelves! Never any issue or reactions. 45 years+ First used No Pong a couple of months ago. Okay for a few 'pea sized' applications. Shortly thereafter developed a nasty red rash in my armpits. Hot to touch - like a scalding? (no… Read more
shaving - just normal hair insitu !) Discontinued product and it cleared up after 10 days. Recommenced and then nasty lymphodematous swelling lumps! Took over a fortnight to settle down... Clearly this product is not for me so I looked it up. Most concerning to find similar signs and symptoms from other reviewers. Something not right with this product...

I’ve been using No Pong for over a year now. I work with horses and not only does the product last but the scent is much more natural. I also like the fact that each day I apply it I can check my armpits for any lumps or changes. Show details · 1

I have been using No Pong for a while now and it is honestly such a relief to find a product that actually works for both my active teenager and myself. The smell is very pleasant and not at all overpowering, which we both appreciate. It is wonderful to find a deodorant with no nasties that can still keep up with a busy lifestyle and exercise.

are both very happy with the results and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for an effective, clean alternative.
I was delighted to get this deodorant at our Catchball tournament this year. I’ve been using it for some time, including during training and at the tournament itself and I never smell bad anymore. I’ve tried so many natural deodorants that either didn’t work or left marks on clothes but this one is the best! Show details · 1
I have tried almost every natural deodorant on the market and most don't last all day and almost all leave white marks on my clothes. Finally I have found something that doesn't leave white marks, lasts all day (I live on a farm so am doing a lot of manual work all day) and even though it's a small tin it feels you barely need any and it gives… Read more · 1
this almost powdered dry feeling. Really love the soft scent. Finally feel like I can stop looking for the right brand.
Have just started using no pong and I really like the concept but... as I have bad arthritis in both hands I have great difficulty opening the container which is worse if my hands are damp. Wonder if there is another container that would be easier to use? Show details · 1
It actually works. I was sceptical at first, but it really works well. I have very sensitive skin, and this does not irritate my skin at all. I would definitely recommend No Pong. Show details · 1
I bought this product initially for when I was going to fly to Europe and was a bit sceptical about how good it would be - this product beats spray deodorants hands down! Show details · 4
I’ve been using my nopong original for a few days now and I am absolutely blown away by how effective it is. It works better than any other deodorant I’ve tried, including non-natural ones!!! I am so grateful I found your product and made the swap!!! It feels sooo much better and smoother on my armpits, and I haven’t had a single waft of B.O - even despite making the switch in the peak NZ summer heat!! Show details · 1
I’ve tried many different deodorants over the years including the “for sensitive skin, aluminium free”etc,etc, and all gave me a rash. I was desperate and asked the pharmacist if she could recommend one that would be suitable for me and she recommended giving No Pong a go as she too reacted to deodorants and had found that No Pong didn’t cause her… Read more · 1
any problems. I put my first order into No Pong as soon as I got home and I can’t believe how good it is. I have no more skin reaction and it rubs in really easily and is not sticky at all and the fragrances are amazing.
