Bonnie & Clyde · Deodorant
24 Hour Deodorant
Lower concern, standard stick deodorant with no known PFAS triggers, but brand offers no transparency.
Bonnie & Clyde's 24 Hour Deodorant is a conventional stick format with no publicly documented Teflon-family coating coatings, water-repellent treatments, or stain-resist finishes that typically introduce PFAS. The brand makes no PFAS disclosures or claims, which is typical for deodorant but limits verification.

The full breakdown
What it's made of and why it matters
Bonnie & Clyde 24 Hour Deodorant uses a typical wax and starch base formulation common to all stick deodorants, designed to adhere to skin and provide odor control via mineral salts or synthetic antimicrobials. This category of product does not involve heating, water resistance coatings, or synthetic polymers that typically trigger heavy metal or solvent leaching. The absence of a water-resistance treatment (common in antiperspirants but not standard deodorants) reduces exposure to problematic additives like Teflon-type coating or silicone-based coatings.
The brand's record and disclosure
Bonnie & Clyde maintains a silent public stance on ingredient sourcing, safety testing, or third-party certifications; no published safety data sheet, allergen list, or formulation transparency is readily available. The brand has no documented recalls, regulatory actions, or safety controversies on record. This lack of proactive disclosure is typical of smaller deodorant brands but limits independent verification of ingredient quality and sourcing standards.
How it compares in its category
Bonnie & Clyde sits in the mid-market stick deodorant segment, offering no certifications (organic, hypoallergenic, heavy-metal tested) that differentiate premium or safety-focused competitors. Transparent brands in this category typically publish full ingredient lists and third-party testing results; Bonnie & Clyde does not. For hazard risk, this product is equivalent to generic drugstore stick deodorants in material profile, with no documented superiority or deficiency.
If you buy it
Store below 77°F (25°C) to prevent warping or separation of wax base, which can affect product integrity but poses no acute health risk. Replace every 6-12 months or when adhesion or odor control noticeably declines. If skin irritation, rash, or contact dermatitis occurs, discontinue and patch test on inner arm before resuming. Monitor the stick for visible mold, separation, or off-odors, which would signal contamination and warrant replacement.
Beyond PFAS: other things we checked
Established hazard classes for this product type, assessed from public information. These never change the PFAS grade; a Likely flag caps the Verdict at “Buy with care.”
Fragrance allergens and contact sensitizers
Like all deodorants, Bonnie & Clyde likely contains synthetic fragrance compounds; specific fragrance allergens (limonene, linalool, geraniol, etc.) are not disclosed. No independent testing on record; risk is typical for this category and primarily affects individuals with sensitive skin or fragrance sensitivities.
Heavy metals in mineral-based actives
Standard stick deodorants rely on talc, clay, or mineral salts as base; no independent testing of this product for lead, cadmium, or arsenic contamination is publicly available. Risk is not higher than any unbranded stick deodorant, but lack of third-party certification leaves it unverified.
Formaldehyde-releasing preservatives
Stick deodorants (unlike liquid or aerosol formats) have low water content and typically use non-aqueous preservatives; formaldehyde-releasers are uncommon in this form factor. No evidence of use in Bonnie & Clyde products on record.
Skin irritation from alkaline or antimicrobial agents
Deodorants without antiperspirant may use stronger odor-suppressing antimicrobials (triclosan analogues or essential oils); these can irritate sensitive skin. Bonnie & Clyde's specific formula is not publicly detailed, so risk cannot be differentiated from standard deodorants.
Talc contamination with asbestos
If this product uses talc as a base (common but not confirmed for this brand), historical asbestos contamination is a legacy concern for talc mining; modern cosmetic-grade talc is regulated in the US, but independent testing of this specific product is not on record. Risk is no higher than major-brand stick deodorants.
What we don’t know
This grade is a model-based estimate from public materials, coatings, and brand disclosure at 72% confidence. It is not a lab result.
No independent PFAS lab test is on record for this exact product. A lab test could move the score in either direction.
The brand has not made a specific, verifiable PFAS-free statement, so part of this score reflects that missing disclosure rather than a confirmed material.
Formulations and coatings change between production runs. Always check the current label before buying.
