Natural Deodorant

A little goes a long way. Just scoop out a pea sized amount, which is usually more than enough for one underarm. Warm it between your fingers to soften the texture, then gently massage it under your arm, just like you would with a moisturiser. The paste melts in smoothly, absorbs quickly, and won’t leave behind any greasy residue.

It really depends on your body and which deodorant paste you’re using. Everyone is different. Some people find that our bicarb free natural deodorants (formulated for sensitive skin) keep them fresh all day, while others prefer to reapply once more in the afternoon. These gentler formulas tend to offer medium coverage, so a second application can be helpful if needed. You don’t need to wait until you shower — just scoop out a little more and gently reapply to stay fresh.

Our bicarb based natural deodorants generally offer longer coverage, and for many people, one pea sized amount in the morning is all they need. But it’s important to keep an eye on how your skin reacts. While bicarb can be incredibly effective, it may cause irritation for some. If you notice any discomfort over time, we recommend switching to the bicarb free version. Your skin will tell you what it needs — just listen to it.

Yes, you will still sweat when using our natural deodorants, and that is a good thing. Our formulas do not contain any sweat blockers like aluminium, which is exactly what we are trying to avoid. Sweating is a natural and healthy way for your body to regulate temperature and release toxins.

Many of our customers also find that over time their body adjusts and they begin to sweat less. While natural deodorant will not stop perspiration, it does help to neutralise odour, so you can feel fresh and comfortable even when you sweat.

Yes, for some people there is a bit of an adjustment period. Many of our customers find that it takes around two to four weeks for their body to adapt. During this time, you might notice that your sweat smells stronger or more noticeable than usual. This is completely normal. It is your body adjusting and beginning to release what has been blocked by antiperspirants.

The good news is it does settle. As your body finds its natural balance, odour usually becomes less noticeable and your natural deodorant begins to work more effectively.

If your skin is sensitive, we recommend starting with our bicarb free natural deodorant. It is made with calming, skin loving ingredients and is much gentler than deodorants that contain bicarb soda.

While bicarb can be very effective at neutralising odour, it is not suitable for everyone. For some people, especially those with delicate or reactive skin, it can cause irritation, redness or dryness. That is why we usually suggest avoiding bicarb based formulas if you are prone to sensitivity.

For very reactive skin, we also offer an unscented version with no essential oils. It is the gentlest option in our range and a beautiful place to start if your skin needs a little extra care.

Yes, some of our natural deodorants do contain bicarb soda, as it is a natural and effective way to neutralise odour. These include our May Chang and Lime Mint options.

However, if you have sensitive or reactive skin, we recommend choosing one of our bicarb free natural deodorants. These are made without bicarb soda and are formulated with gentle, soothing ingredients like magnesium and nourishing plant oils. Our bicarb free range includes Unscented, Lemon Myrtle, and Lavender — all designed to be kind to delicate underarms while still keeping you fresh.

Yes, our natural deodorants are made from 100% natural ingredients. They are formulated with organic, skin nourishing oils like coconut oil, shea butter and olive oil, all chosen for their gentle and moisturising properties.

Our deodorants do not contain aluminium or any sweat blocking chemicals. In fact, avoiding aluminium was one of the main reasons we created the deodorants.

For scent, we only use pure essential oils, never synthetic fragrances. There are no added preservatives either, as the natural oils in the formula preserve themselves for up to twelve months.

If you are sensitive to essential oils or simply prefer a scent free option, we also offer an unscented bicarb free deodorant. It is ideal for very sensitive or reactive skin, or for anyone who wants a completely fragrance free alternative.

When used in the right amount and applied properly, our deodorants should not stain your clothes or leave white marks. Make sure to massage the paste in well and give it a minute or two to absorb before getting dressed. Less is more.

Yes, absolutely. Our natural deodorant is still perfectly fine to use if it softens in warmer weather. Once the temperature climbs above 30 degrees, you might notice the texture becomes a little softer, sometimes more like toothpaste. That is completely normal. Natural ingredients like coconut oil and shea butter soften with heat, and since we do not use any stabilisers or hardening agents, the consistency can naturally change with the seasons.

This is all part of the beauty of a truly natural product. If it gets too soft for your liking, simply place the tin in a cooler spot or in the fridge for a little while and it will firm back up.

We have not found it to leak or spill, even when it softens, but on very hot days, especially in temperatures around 40 degrees or more, we recommend storing it somewhere slightly cooler, like in a drawer or on bathroom tiles. Just a little care helps keep it in perfect condition.

Yes, this is completely normal. A grainy texture can sometimes happen in natural deodorants made with ingredients like shea butter and coconut oil. When these oils melt and then slowly set again, especially if this happens more than once, they can form small granules. This is simply how these ingredients behave in natural conditions and it does not affect the quality or effectiveness of the deodorant.

The deodorant will still work just as well, but the texture may feel less smooth. To help prevent this, we suggest storing your deodorant in a cooler place so it does not go through repeated melting and setting.

If it has become grainy and you would prefer a creamier texture, you can gently melt the deodorant, stir it, and place it in the fridge to set. Let it cool quickly and the grains should disappear. Or if you are happy to use it as it is, the small granules will melt easily with the warmth of your fingers during application.

A single 100g jar can last up to three to six months with daily use. The formula is naturally preserved and stays fresh for up to twelve months. Always store it in a cool, dry place.

Our natural deodorant bicarb free formula is very gentle, and most people find it does not sting after shaving. If you want to be extra cautious, we recommend using the unscented version, which contains no essential oils. It is our most soothing option and is ideal for freshly shaved or very sensitive skin.

Deodorants that contain bicarb soda can sometimes cause a slight stinging sensation if applied right after shaving. This is because bicarb can be a little abrasive on delicate skin. If you are using a bicarb based natural deodorant, it may be best to wait a little while after shaving before applying.

Yes, many people choose natural deodorants during pregnancy to avoid synthetic chemicals. For extra peace of mind, we suggest using the unscented bicarb free version, which contains no essential oils.

Our scents are soft, natural and never overpowering. We only use pure essential oils and no synthetic fragrance. If you prefer no scent at all, our Unscented bicarb free deodorant is completely fragrance free and ideal for sensitive skin.

Yes, many of our customers use our deodorant during workouts and on warm summer days. If you are especially active or tend to sweat more, our bicarb based formulas usually provide longer lasting protection.

If you are using our natural deodorant bicarb free formula, it is perfectly fine to reapply during the day or just before a workout for extra freshness. Many people also like to use it at night as part of their evening routine. Just listen to your body and apply as needed. That is the beauty of a gentle and natural formula.

Some people may experience underarm darkening with bicarb based natural deodorants, especially if the skin is irritated. If this happens, we recommend switching to a bicarb free formula to calm and soothe the skin.

Absolutely. You are allowing your body to sweat naturally, avoiding synthetic chemicals, and supporting your overall wellbeing. It may take a little time to find the formula that works best for you, but once you do, it is a beautifully simple and healthy daily ritual.
