How to use
Apply to clean, dry underarms. Twist the base to the right to dispense. Hold the stick against your skin for a few seconds so your body heat softens the butters, then glide it on. If you are coming off an antiperspirant, allow two to three weeks. Your body needs that time to adjust, and how it settles varies from person to person.
Full ingredient list
Magnesium Hydroxide Powder, Beeswax, Cocoa Butter, Coconut Oil, Arrowroot Powder, Grapeseed Oil, Wheat Germ, Lemongrass and Lavender Essential Oil Blend, Zinc Oxide, Vitamin E, Lactobacillus.
Description
Formulated for bright, early mornings. This blend balances the sharp, uplifting citrus of natural lemongrass with the grounding, herbaceous calm of lavender. The base is a cocoa butter and coconut oil balm. It softens against your body heat and glides on without dragging. We use magnesium hydroxide to gently raise the pH at the skin surface, which makes it harder for odor-causing bacteria to grow. Arrowroot powder absorbs excess moisture. The formula contains no baking soda, which is the most common cause of underarm irritation. Every batch is made by hand and packed in an eco-friendly mineral tube made to be refilled and reused.
Key ingredients
What is in it, and what each part does
The full formula, in the order it appears on the pack. Nothing is here for the label alone.
-
Magnesium Hydroxide Powder The odor ingredient.
It gently raises the pH at the skin surface, making the underarm less hospitable to the bacteria that turn sweat into smell. Unlike baking soda it dissolves slowly, so the change is gradual rather than a spike — which is why people who react to baking soda often tolerate it.
-
Beeswax Semi-occlusive: it is what sets the stick.
It also leaves a breathable film that slows water loss from the skin without sealing it in.
-
Cocoa Butter The emollient that gives the balm its body.
It fills the fine texture of the skin and helps slow the moisture loss that leaves underarms feeling tight after shaving.
-
Coconut Oil Around half lauric acid, a fatty acid studied for its antibacterial activity.
It also softens at body temperature, which is what lets the balm go on without dragging.
-
Arrowroot Powder A very fine starch that absorbs moisture, so skin feels dry rather than damp.
It does not tackle odor by itself — it keeps the underarm drier, which is the condition the rest of the formula works best in.
-
Grapeseed Oil Light, non-greasy and high in linoleic acid, which supports the skin barrier.
It thins the butters so the stick glides rather than sitting on top of the skin.
-
Wheat Germ One of the richest plant sources of vitamin E.
It conditions the skin and helps keep the oils in the formula from oxidising on the shelf.
-
Lemongrass and Lavender Essential Oil Blend Scent, and nothing structural.
Lemongrass supplies the citrus lift and lavender rounds it off so it never turns sharp. No synthetic fragrance.
-
Zinc Oxide A mild mineral chosen for how calm it is on skin — the same one used in nappy creams.
It is here for comfort on freshly shaved skin, not as an odor blocker.
-
Vitamin E An antioxidant.
It conditions the skin and protects the oils in the balm from going rancid, which is what keeps an unscented formula smelling of nothing.
-
Lactobacillus A skin-friendly culture.
Early research into applying lactobacillus to the underarm is encouraging, but the evidence base is still small — we include it on that basis, not as a promise.
Disclaimer
For external use only. Do not apply to freshly shaved, broken, or irritated skin. Discontinue use if irritation occurs. Store in a cool, dry place.
Deodorant, not antiperspirant
This is a deodorant, not an antiperspirant: it is formulated to help manage odor, not to reduce perspiration. It is a cosmetic product and is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease. How well a natural deodorant works varies from person to person with body chemistry.

We do not promise you a result
How a natural deodorant performs varies with body chemistry. We would rather explain how it works and let you judge than make a claim we cannot keep for everyone.
