Written by the company
We create design-led products with a purpose that challenge behaviours around sustainability. Sustainability isn’t a handful of people living perfectly. It’s millions of us doing it imperfectly every day. Every swap to a more positive choice makes a difference. That means making more positive choices accessible by offering innovative swaps to new products that support a fulfilled life - made as sustainably as we can and always working hard to improve by listening to you, our community. Sustainability shouldn’t be an exclusive club, it should be inclusive, which is why we have made both natural and antiperspirant deodorants.

Great product
Great product - simple to use. Have recommended to all my friends and family
This is the superior product
Tried a couple now and Make Waves is by far the superior product. Great scent, and more importantly a really great anti perspirant.
Good value also with the subscription.
The best antiperspirant I’ve ever used!
To be frank, I’m a sweaty person and most antiperspirants (even those that supposedly last 72hrs) don’t work that well for me. I tried Make Waves as while the one I was using previously worked (relatively) well, it was irritating my underarms. To my surprise and great relief, this is the best antiperspirant I’ve ever used. I had dry armpits for the first time in forever, and even on the hottest days, while I could feel a bit of sweat, it was still a lot more manageable. It also comes with the bonus of not being irritating at all. Thank you!
Extreme good customer service
Extreme good customer service, refills arrive as per agreed schedule. It is easy to skip a delivery. Not quite so easy to navigate to scent changes.
Smells are lovely, very natural and support feeling better mentally too!
Great product. Thank you so much

I really like the antiperspirant
I really like the antiperspirant, and it works. It’s great to know it’s all natural, but I’m not having to sacrifice the effectiveness. It’s also priced in line with other similar brands
Brilliant product
Brilliant product, I have been using for a number of years now. I use the deodorant in the winter months and the antiperspirant in the summer months when I need a little more protection. Great company, who actually answer questions that you may have. Products come on subscription so I dont even have to think about it.
Love this brand….
Love this brand….. I thought I’d give them a try as I have to use very strong deodorant because I do sweat excessively in all weathers and standard brands just don’t stop the smell. Make waves anti-perspirant smells amazing and stops the smell even the next day!! Would defo recommend!!!
I wanted to use toiletries that were…
I wanted to use toiletries that were more sustainable, and after trying fussy first, and finding their products both ineffective and irritating to my skin, I tried make waves, not expecting much better.
I was so wrong! Their product works very, very well, smells great and is kind to my skin. Just wish I'd tried Make Waves first.
Excellent product and service that I'll be sticking with.
Been using Make waves for a few years…
Been using Make waves for a few years now and i can't be happier. I love the vastity of the fragrances as well as how good this deodorant works. It's also good for the planet as its refillable and the best thing is that you can now find it at boots, love it!
Tried so many deodorants and this is…
Tried so many deodorants and this is the only one that works for me. Love it, thank you
I just love this product
I just love this product,I have used natural roll ons before, but make waves is a total game changer.
Great product, does what it says on the tin. Fabulous fragrances that leave you smelling fresh all day no matter what you are doing.
I’m not “Fussy”
Having used Fussy for a long time now I was nervous about changing to a new product.
My issue with Fussy was as follows:
1. Delivery service was abysmal. Order on subscription and wait up to two weeks for fulfilment and delivery via Royal Mail.
2. It simply didn’t work well when I was exercising.
3. Despite all the media ads the fragrance does NOT replace aftershave, absolute rubbish. The fragrances are so subtle that they are almost not existent which frustrated and annoyed me.
Having made the change I would add:
1. Delivery was great, a few days
2. It actually works.
3. The fragrances are good and you can smell them. They are not long lasting I admit but way better than before.
In summary I would give it go. I’m all for the sustainability and none aerosols but I get annoyed by the claims of some brands that simply don’t stand up to test.
Really enjoying this product
Really enjoying this product. After switching from fussy as it wasn't working for me, even after months of persevering, I made the switch to Make Waves and I'm very impressed by it.
I've only bought one scent so far and that is Apricot and Mandarin, which is OK but not my favourite, so I'm looking forward to trying the other scents.
The applicator is very easy to use, the product will last ages and it stops sweat in it's tracks.
The only criticism would be that there's not enough scent variety, like fussy for example but I'm sure as the product grows so will the scents.
With that said I will be sticking with this product now 😊
Excellent antiperspirant!
Make Waves is an excellent antiperspirant. Worked incredibly well during the summer heat waves! I love the different choices of smells and ordering new refills online is easy. Thank you.
This is the antiperspirant that really works!
This antiperspirant is amazing. It is easy to apply with no stickiness or white patches on clothes and it lasts all day no matter what the weather is doing. Ordering and using refills is as easy as applying the wonderfully scented antiperspirants. I have been converted from sprays ......and I wish I had done it sooner.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Absolutely converted!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Absolutely converted!
I’ve tried a few natural deodorants before and, if I’m honest, I’ve never been completely convinced by them — until I tried Make Waves!
It smells absolutely gorgeous, goes on really smoothly and, most importantly, it actually works. I still feel fresh at the end of a long, busy day, which is exactly what I wanted. I also love that it doesn’t leave that horrible thick, sticky feeling that you can get with some natural deodorants.
The refillable case is such a great idea too. It feels good knowing I’m cutting down on waste without having to compromise on a product that actually does its job.
Really impressed with Make Waves and definitely won’t be going back to my old deodorant. Highly recommend! ❤️
It really works
I’ve tried other sustainable deodorants and Make Waves is way above them. The antiperspirant really works and the smell is amazing

I have been using Make Waves for several months now. Just received my second 3 pack of refills.
I am really happy with the product. I'm uding coconut and vanilla at the moment which smells really good.
Great smelling product which suits my…
Great smelling product which suits my hubbys sensitive skin. Sent quickly and packaged beautifully. When we first tried Make Waves he was sensitive to the antiperspirant version (like all the others off the shelf) but after a short email their customer services couldn’t have been more helpful. Wonderful product and customer care. We use the deodorant version now and love it! Highly recommend.
Fab product
