Best-selling natural deodorant available at Woolworths: No Pong
Helping to reduce odors when you're excessively sweating, natural deos are free from nasties such as parabens and aluminum.
There's one brand Aussies keep stocking up on during their Woolies shop; No Pong.
The fastest-growing, best-selling deodorant of its kind, shoppers are loyal supporters and fans of the brand, saying they would 'definitely recommend,' to fellow customers.
Founded back in 2015 by Aussie duo Chris and Melanie, they are proud to have created an effective, plastic-free natural deodorant that shoppers actually love to use daily.
Currently on sale for just $6.95 (usually $9.95) there's a wide range of refreshing scents to choose from in this cream formula.
No Pong prides itself of being a brand that listens, learns, and improves.
Constantly looking for new ways to give back to their loyal fan base, the Aussie brand is committed to surprising and rewarding customers with something extra special.
Whether it's the launch of a new and exciting product, a gift in the mail or supporting a great cause, No Pong is determined to give back to shoppers.
' Biggest fan of No Pong over here! Their customer service is the best I have ever encountered. I purchased three different scents and liked two of them, but one didn't work for me at all,' one shopper recalls.
'I emailed No Pong and let them know what was happening, and they listened, valued my experience, and sent me a new tin of a scent that worked for me at no charge.'
No Pong is a cream product, generally applied with your fingers.
Midwife and Co-Founder of No Pong, Melanie McVean, says although many think it's strange to touch their armpits with their fingers, she is 'encouraging everyone to make touching their armpits part of their daily routine'.
'We apply moisturisers, sunscreens and many other products with our hands, so why not touch our armpits to apply deodorant the same way?' she tells Best Picks.
Over the years, many customers say they have discovered lumps as a result of checking their armpits, thanks to No Pong.
'They've found lumps that they otherwise wouldn't have found,' Melanie says.
'Some of these turned out to be sliding door moments.'
Melanie says lymph nodes play an important role in our body's immune system.
'Normally you can't feel them but when they're swollen, they're more noticeable,' she says.
'It is a great marker that our body is fighting or reacting to something and if it persists, it is a sign that it should be checked out by a healthcare professional.'
Shoppers are loving No Pong's line of natural deodorants, calling them 'absolutely amazing'.
'Great product, lovely scents and convenient tins to carry in your bag,' one shopper commented.
'I am grateful I discovered No Pong as I do not like the nasties in commercial deodorants. It's amazing,' another added.
amazing stuff,' a third shopper wrote.

RBA backing 'gradual and modest' rate cuts, ANZ chief economist Richard Yetsenga declares after Michele Bullock's speech
Aussie mortgage holders waiting for a flurry of interest rate cuts could have their hopes dashed after Reserve Bank of Australia governor Michele Bullock stood firm on the central bank's controversial rate hold. Ms Bullock addressed the annual Anika Foundation event on Thursday where she said the RBA had expected the unemployment rate to rise in June and noted inflation was declining alongside its forecast. "Last week brought us the latest labour market data, which confirmed that the unemployment rate increased in the June quarter," Ms Bullock said. "Some of the coverage of the latest data suggested this was a shock, but the outcome for the June quarter was in line with the forecast we released in May.' The Australian Bureau of Statistics revealed unemployment jumped 0.2 per cent to 4.3 per cent in June, exceeding market expectations and leading some to question the recent hold. ANZ chief economist Richard Yetsenga was in attendance, and said the RBA governor would likely deliver near term rate relief, but this would not be the start of a cutting spree. 'You would say almost certainly we'll get a cash rate cut next month,' Mr Yetsenga told Business Now on the sidelines of the event. 'But the tone of the speech today I think was consistent with easing still being pretty gradual and modest. 'The market's pricing three, nearly four rate cuts. I don't think the speech was consistent today with that many.' Ms Bullock backed in the rationale behind the central bank's shock rate hold, telling reporters the call came down to 'timing' of inflation data. 'We expect trimmed mean inflation to fall a little further in the June quarter in year-ended terms,' the RBA governor said. 'However, the monthly CPI Indicator data, which are volatile, suggest that the fall may not be quite as much as we forecast back in May. 'We still think it will show inflation declining slowly towards 2.5 per cent, but we are looking for data to support this expectation. 'Encouragingly, as inflation has slowed, the labour market has eased only gradually and the unemployment rate is relatively low.' Every major bank predicts the RBA will cut rates in August and forecasts at least one other cut this year. Westpac predicts the RBA will drop rates four times up until 2026, bringing the cash rate down a full per cent, while CBA and ANZ forecast the cash rate to drop to 3.35 per cent by November. NAB is tipping three more cuts to bring the cash rate down to 3.1 per cent by February. The RBA held the cash rate at 3.85 per cent in July after cutting twice since the beginning of the year.

Aussie tourist shares Bingin horror: 'They started knocking our hotel down while I was in it'
Don't miss out on the headlines from Lifestyle. Followed categories will be added to My News. Sledgehammers are piercing the air in Bingin, Uluwatu's hippie sister. This beloved beachy community, known for its boho vibes, clifftop shacks, sprawling homestays and local warungs sits just north of Uluwatu. Though it has become more busy in the last twenty years, it's still less busy than Uluwatu, which has beach clubs, luxury hotels and now plans for a great big road carved into the cliff. Bingin is also home to one of the most mesmerising waves in the world. Bingin is one of the easiest barrels on the planet, and because of this it draws thousands of surfers every year to try their luck at it. However, this week authorities started demolishing more than 45 "illegal" businesses on the cliffside. This includes a mix of Western-backed joints and locally-run places that have been passed down the generations since the 1980s - from restaurants and bars to homestays and villas. Footage has emerged of demolition crews smashing down local bars with hammers (parts of the cliff are too steep for bulldozers) as distraught employees look on. As for the tourist experience on the ground, one Aussie surfer in Bali told Escape (under the condition of anonymity for fear of deportation) he was in a hotel with his partner when demolition began. "I was in the first hotel they targeted. No warning they just started knocking down and breaking sh*t while I was in it with my fiance." See also: Incredible photos show what Bali was like in the 1980s Eviction notices were sent a month ago, but due to their strange request that business owners tear their own joints down, locals hoped it was just bluster. Turns out it wasn't. X Learn More SUBSCRIBER ONLY After a few weeks of social media outrage, online petitions and community protest, the Badung Regency Government ignored business-owners' pleas and gave the green light to the demolition crew. Aside from devastating the local culture and economy, this has sparked outrage among surfers all over the world. 11-time world champion Kelly Slater said on Instagram that this detracts from "the culture and beauty of what attracted everyone there in the first place.' Bingin has one of the best waves in the world. Picture: iStock. Mr Slater also said: 'Awful to hear and see that the beachfront at Bingin in Bali has been bought up and all the local (eateries) and other businesses will be demolished to make room for some kind of beach club and not sure what else?' 'Bali has been completely mishandled and ruined by foreign interests in recent years." Bingin Beach is only reachable via super steep staircases plunging and weaving down through the cliffside buildings that are being demolished, so the state of future beach access is unclear, reports. There has been much social media protest, so far to no avail. Pictures via Instagram (@savebinginbeach and @niluhdjelantik) Social media account Uluwatu Community, which is protesting the demolition, also raised the question: 'Rumours are spreading: is this really about law enforcement or about clearing prime land for bigger investors with deeper pockets?' 'It seems the idea of an 'undeveloped' cliff no longer fits into certain visions for the future.' It also said that Bingin residents and business owners have hired lawyers hinting that a legal battle may just be getting going. Social media account Save Bingin Beach wrote: "Why doesn't the government take the side of the locals? Why are family-run warungs and small businesses being destroyed while money-hungry beach clubs are allowed to stay?" They added: "Why does Bingin's natural beauty have to be sacrificed just to make room for unnecessary developments? This isn't progress – it's greed." See also: This once-secret Bali beach is about to get a glass elevator, and tourists are furious Aussie travellers are now scuttling to find new accommodation, with one holidaymaker posting on Facebook: "If you have accommodation on the beachfront / cliff in Bingin I urge you to contact them… hotel / villa owners are dealing with a lot at the moment and some are not being proactive in contacting their guests to let them know they will not be able to stay there…" Bali surf shop @ mourned the demolition on Instagram. Others warned of similar things happening to them in the past at other locations in Bali. "Be careful" one Facebook user wrote in a Bali tourist community page. "We bought really nice accommodation to celebrate our 30th wedding anniversary, got to the resort and the pathway was being built on the beach at Seminyak. No access to the beach at all and the noise kept us awake all night every night!!!" Others guessed authorities were: "Making way for the next new concrete monster" like they did in Dreamland (another nearby beach). "I remember when Dreamland was really a dream in 2007," another Facebook user wrote. "Small local warungs near the shore, in front of a beautiful big wave breaking outside on a big swell and when the tide was low. I really miss so much that little piece of heart." Aussies have also been warned to let the local community do its thing and not get involved, as foreigners caught protesting in Indonesia risk two weeks in jail followed by immediate deportation and a ban from the country. Should a big development now pop up in this prime piece of real estate it could hardly be considered a coincidence. As surf magazine Stab points out, ownership of nearly all of the Bukit has emerged in an informal and at times legally-ambiguous fashion. So why single out Bingin? Stab reports: "The developers lean heavily on the thin reed that these businesses are violating spatial planning laws and building regs. In plain terms: the land families have occupied, built homes and businesses on for generations, back when Bingin was still jungle, is officially not theirs. It's always belonged to the state. The government, after decades of apparent disinterest, has decided to enforce that technicality." Bingin locals like Mega Semadhi have urged the government to involve the community in the reshaping of the land - or at least keep the land a truly protected green zone. "I realise coastal land belongs to the state," Semadhi said. "But these buildings have been standing since the 1970s, long before current laws and regulations existed." "For years, they've been trying to engage in dialogue, urging the government to regulate development to prevent excessive growth and maintain Bingin's authenticity. But this is the result: unilateral evictions, with no real protection for the local community." "If demolition must be done, I beg you: Give the Bingin community the opportunity to collaborate with the banjar/traditional village/government agency to continue managing this area, as they are the ones who have developed, maintained, and made Bingin known internationally." "Or, if not, make Bingin a truly protected green zone. Let only coconut and pandanus trees grow, not the new beach clubs that are mushrooming in Bali." "Bali is Island of the Gods not Island of Beach Club," he added. Footage of locals and tourists gathering together for one last time to watch the sunset yesterday before yet more demolition occurs provided a shred of hope for some. Lucky Fish Lounge, a Bingin bar, posted the following from @tropicamuse on Instagram: "A day after the demolitions began, I walked down to the beach. I wasn't sure what to expect. But what I found surprised me: Locals had gathered for a sacred ceremony - not to celebrate, but to pray, to hold on, to hope for the best." "Tourists, too, had come - maybe for one last time, to sit, to watch the sunset, to soak in the beauty before it's gone. Yes, some businesses are already leaving. Furniture being carried out. Doors closing. Others are staying, still hoping, still standing." "Traces of demolition are there. But so is the beauty. So is the spirit. If this place means something to you - go. Support the local businesses while they're still standing. Let the memory stay with you." The fight to reverse the decision (or at least involve the local community more in its transformation) is apparently ongoing. The petition to save Bingin from forced demolition has 18,141 signatures and counting at the time of writing, and can be signed here. The petition page claims that reports that local businesses are unwilling to pay local government taxes are inaccurate and says: "On the contrary, local businesses have demonstrated a high level of cooperation and a willingness to comply with all applicable requirements." According to the petition page, the local government has not issued the necessary permits to allow these businesses to register and fulfill their local tax obligations. "Meanwhile," the petition page alleges, "a well-known property developer and operator of one of Canggu's most famous beach clubs has begun promoting property investment opportunities using the image of Bingin Beach, despite the lack of official development approval, let alone consultation with the local community."

After jumping on the opening bell, shares subsequently fell after RBA governor Michele Bullock made her speech at the Annika Foundation lunch. IG market analyst Tony Sycamore said the market's confidence in a rate cut in August slipped after the speech. 'The RBA governor has elected to look through the recent criticism and, in her speech, downplayed the rise in employment saying it wasn't a surprise,' he wrote in a market note. 'She also noted that monthly inflation data suggests the inflation rate may not fall as fast as forecast in May.' Ten of the 11 sectors finished in the red. NewsWire Christian Gilles Credit: News Corp Australia Following Ms Bullock's speech the markets knocked off about five basis points or RBA rate cuts by the end of the year. In company news earnings results disappointed on Thursday. Macquarie shares dived 5.08 per cent to $213.84 after telling the market longstanding chief financial officer Alex Harvey will retire mid-2026 as well as announcing its first quarter data. Macquarie, which is broken up into four business segments, said its banking and financial services and Macquarie capital improved performance over the three months until June 30. But its Macquarie Asset Management and Commodities and Global Markets segments slipped. Overall Macquarie Group reported a $3.7bn profit for FY25. It was also a disappointing trading update for Bapcor with shares slumping to a five-year low after the Autobarn and Midas owner said statutory net profits after tax would lie between $31 to $34m. Shares in the company slumped 28.38 per cent to $3.66 on the announcement. In a positive trading update Fortescue shares jumped 4.34 per cent to $19 after the investing giant announced its fourth quarter update showing it shipped a record-breaking annual shipment of 198.4Mt in FY 2025. Lynas Rare Earths gained 5.03 per cent to $10.65 after its shipment jumped 38 per cent compared to the prior quarter.
