Our natural deodorant is handcrafted in small batches. Every ingredient is specifically selected for its property to prevent unwanted odor. You will still sweat with this deodorant. Sweating is good for the body and the skin. However, with our deodorant you will not have embarrassing odor.
Unlike traditional deodorants, less is more with this deodorant. A very small amount goes a long way. If you feel your pits are oily or you have any residue on the pits of your shirt, you are using too much. This deodorant contains approximately 1.6-1.7oz of deodorant that should last a single user approximately 30-45 days (possibly longer).
Lavender & Palmarosa (previously known as Fresh Scent) has a light gender neutral smell. Originally we chose to use palmarosa and lavender essential oil because of the benefits palmarosa offers. It is an antiviral, antibacterial and antiseptic essential oil. In our opinion is smells similar to geranium but we have also heard from other that they think it has a rose-like smell.

Timber & Rosemary (previously known as Forest Scent) is a blend of spruce and pine, peppermint and rosemary essential oils. It isn't just meant for the men but it is a more masculine smell than Lavender & Palmarosa. This combination was choosen because of the benefits of the essential oils. Pine needle, peppermint oil and rosemary are all noted as being antimicrobial, antiseptic and anti-inflammatory. All also are known to be effective in helping with conditions such as dermatitis, psoriasis, itching, pimples, eczema, skin diseases, scabies, and sores.

Whichever scent you choose, once applied none will have a strong scent. We use only essential oils because some people are sensitive to fragrance oils. We want to be a product those with sensitive skin can use as well.
We are committed to providing non-toxic products that feed the skin. We use ingredients you know and can pronounce. When possible and to the max extent possible we use unrefined, organic and non-gmo ingredients. If you have already purchase one of our deodorants in a glass jar, or prefer a more environmentally friendly container option please checkout our deodorant refill listing.
Our refill containers are made from bagasse which is a leftover pulp byproduct (from the sugarcane plant) that is both biodegradable and compostable. Our refills contain approximately 1.25 oz of product. (The volume of the refill is limited by the size of the container.) You can simply unpackage the refill and place it into your current jar. Watch our video tutorial above to see how the process works.
*** Tip: To help reduce any mess, place refill in the refrigerator prior to putting it inside of your jar to help make the refill firmer ***
It is highly recommended that jars be washed periodically in between refills using hot soapy water and allowing the jar to dry completely before inserting refill. Any water allowed to remain in the jar can cause bacteria growth.
