Do You Make A Baking Soda Free Deodorant Formula?Updated 23 days ago

All of our deodorant formulas contain baking soda and are aluminum free. While baking soda has gotten a bad rap in natural deo for sensitive pits, naturally mined baking soda contains a finer grain, is less abrasive and has less potential of causing irritation – while still providing the pure odor protection you need. Plus, it's fortified with vitamin-rich coconut oil to nourish and protect sensitive pits.

Here are our tips for avoiding irritation:

Application tips:
  • Apply only 1-2 swipes (less is more!): While you might be used to swiping several times with antiperspirants, concentrated ingredients without any fillers or chemicals means you only need a couple swipes for all-day odor protection – and to prevent any potential rashes or residue on your clothing.
  • Shave at night, apply in the morning: Don't apply deodorant directly to skin after shaving – your delicate pores are exposed and more susceptible to rashes and irritation!
  • Dab instead of swipe: The “dabbing method” minimizes friction for those with sensitive pits. Less friction = less inflammation.
  • If irritation pops up at any time, try gently cleansing pits with a gentle cleanser, dab with apple cider vinegar or Everything Spray and then apply a moisturizer to pits. This usually clears things up within a few nights!
