We wanted to formulate an all-natural deodorant that’s both effective and gentle. In doing so, it seemed important to feature ingredients that support a healthy skin biome and a robust immune system, while eliminating ingredients that cause irritation or potential harm.

After lots of trial and error over the past few years we've landed on a formulation that we love!  Our Tallow Deodorant absorbs wetness, neutralizes odor, and promotes a healthy skin biome, without clogging lymph nodes and sweat glands that help rid our bodies of toxins. Our active powder blend is suspended in a highly emollient, animal based combination of grassfed tallow, grassfed ghee, and beeswax.  

Baking soda deodorants are popular these days, but many people experience skin irritation caused by its high pH. As a result, we include only a tiny sprinkle of baking soda to our active powder blend, just enough for an odor neutralizing boost.  Any irritating effects of the high pH are offset by the lower pH, skin-friendly animal fats in which our powder blend is suspended.  An array of other actives such as magnesium, zinc, and goldenseal also work synergistically to combat odor.

Coconut oil is also a very popular ingredient in natural deodorants that we omitted because many people report a sensitivity to it.  Instead, we use ghee as a secondary fat for our deodorant.  It has less slip than coconut oil so if you find that it feels a little hard or "grabby", simply warm your Deodorant on your skin in one place for a full 5-10 seconds, and then swipe!  

We hope you'll give it a try!

This nourishing Deodorant is free of aluminum, alcohols, parabens, and synthetic fragrance.  One or two swipes of the biodegradable cardboard applicator and you're on your way.  Re-apply as needed.  When switching to a natural product such as this, you may experience a transition period that may include excessive odor or sweating.  If this happens, you may benefit from a detoxifying mask for your armpits.  

Currently available in Unscented, Citrus, Floral, and Antibacterial (Thieves).

Natural Ingredients for Skincare and Their Benefits

Unrefined 100% Grassfed Tallow — Dry rendered in house, this exceptionally nutritious fat is the basis of all our products. In our Deodorant, its added benefits include moisturizing sensitive skin and supporting healthy sweat secretion.  Read more about our tallow here. 

Grassfed Ghee -- Free of lactose and casein, ghee is clarified butter that has been cooked longer for a shelf-stable, nutty smelling healthy fat.  It is a good source of Vitamins A and D and has antibacterial properties. 

Beeswax - Gives body to our formulation and is also antimicrobial by nature.

Bamboo Powder - Aborbs 500 times its weight in moisture, bamboo powder is a natural choice for a natural deodorant.  It does not block sweat glands, but instead absorbs excess sweat once it has secreted.

Goldenseal — This incredible herb is antimicrobial, anti inflammatory and strongly astringent. It also soothes underarm rashes.

Banana Powder —  An electrolyte complement to magnesium, this Potassium and Vitamin A-rich powder helps our deodorant absorb wetness while moisturizing and soothing your pits.  Unlike other starches we've tried in natural deodorants, banana powder does not clog glands in armpits.

Zinc Oxide (non-nano) - When combined with magnesium hydroxide acts as an effective odor neutralizer.  It boasts many, many benefits for skin!

Magnesium Hydroxide - We can all use a little more calmness from magnesium and when combined with zinc oxide it is a natural odor fighter!

Sodium Bicarbonate - Powerful odor neutralizer, naturally mined and naturally aluminum free.
