Founded by former pro snowboarder Nima Jalali, Salt & Stone is rooted in a fundamental understanding of the elements and how they affect our skin. Every formula blends naturally derived actives from the sea and the mountains with clean, gender-neutral scents designed to ground you, energize you, or simply make an everyday ritual feel more intentional.
If you have been thinking about making the switch to aluminum-free deodorant, or are shopping for someone who always seeks out cleaner and smarter swaps, Salt & Stone is a smart place to start. Their deodorants have a cult following thanks to their clean bill of health, if you will: they use ingredients like prebiotics, spirulina, and niacinamide that support the skin rather than just mask odor or suppress your body’s natural process. The short version? It lets your skin breathe without sacrificing performance.
And the assortment makes a Salt & Stone set an effortless gift. The brand turns everyday moments like washing your hands, stepping into the shower, or grabbing a mist before heading out the door into aromatic, almost ceremonial rituals that ground you — they make the mundane feel elevated and indulgent. Gifting someone the deodorant to replace their perfume, when they forget to put it on, or a body wash that makes their somewhat unclean shower feel like a spa.
Our Favorites Under $50

Deodorant & Mini Body Mist Duo
This duo is my go-to when I want something simple but still upmarket. You get Salt & Stone’s aluminum-free deodorant and a travel-sized body mist. My favorite is Black Rose and Oud. It smells warm and a little floral, with notes of black rose, lily of the valley, oud, and amber. Use the deodorant for long-lasting freshness, then layer the mist to boost the scent throughout the day.

Mini Deodorant Discovery Set
If you’ve ever wanted to try Salt & Stone deodorant, this set lets you pilot five of their most popular scents — in mini sizes, of course. The scents range from warm Santal and Vetiver to bright Neroli and Basil, with bestsellers like Black Rose and Oud in the mix too. Each formula comprises prebiotics, spirulina, antioxidants, and niacinamide to keep skin unbothered, balanced, and smooth.

These TSA-friendly washes are gym-bag-to-jet-plane staples. Powered by ingredients like vitamin C, niacinamide, hyaluronic acid, and prebiotics, they keep your skin soft and hydrated while you cleanse. The set includes four of the brand’s most popular scents, from the warm, grounded Santal and Vetiver to the bright and uplifting Bergamot and Hinoki. It’s the perfect way to turn your regular shower routine into a spa-like ritual.

Body Mist Discovery Set
With the first spritz, these scents become routine. They’re gentle enough for all-over use and infused with red algae and glycerin to hydrate, all while adding aroma. This set includes four of Salt & Stone’s most-loved fragrances, each with its own distinct profile.
Upgrades Under $100

Hand Cream Trio
A customizable trio of fast-absorbing, bespoke-scented hand creams. You can choose any three from Salt & Stone’s bestselling formulas, which play off prior favorites like Santal and Vetiver, Black Rose and Oud, and Neroli and Basil. Each formula is packed with squalane, snow mushroom, seaweed extracts, and niacinamide to keep hands hydrated and soft.

Full Body Set
If you want to give someone the whole Salt & Stone experience, this is the easiest way to do it. Inside, you’ll find the deodorant, body wash, body lotion, and body mist in the recommended Bergamot and Hinoki scent. Think crisp citrus, warm amber, and a refreshing hit of eucalyptus. It’s bright, energizing, and perfect for daily use.
