100% Natural Deodorants
Never tried a natural deodorant?
Put off by having to smear it onto your armpits with your fingers?
Looking for a deo that works, but doesn’t come with the plastic
waste?
Don’t want to use a deodorant or antiperspirant that uses
aluminium salts?
Our deo product may well convert you!
Do our deodorants work?
Do they ever!
The combination of nourishing naturally antibacterial oils and
baking soda works hard to keep you smelling fresh all day - even
when you’re working hard too. Your body still does what it should
be doing - sweating (it’s an important natural process).
To be honest, we were initially sceptical that a natural deo could
work. Surely all they do is just mask the smell, right? But after about
a decade of being quite whiffy no matter which roll-on was used,
anything was on the cards for trying. The results were instant and
blew our minds. And THAT is the backstory to developing this deo!
Since then they’ve been used by hundreds, with converts all over
New Zealand. We’ve happy stories of odour-free days from all
manner of people - office workers, people exercising, it’s even
stood up to sunny days working outside concreting and surveying.
What? No messy fingers? No plastic?
Zero plastic. No mess application.
That’s right - we’ve formulated this to be in game-changing
cardboard tubes. They’re compostable and when empty can
simply be put into your home compost or buried in the garden;
even wiped and and put with your cardboard recycling. Or if they do
get thrown into the rubbish, at least they’re not plastic.
To apply you simply push it up a bit, then apply light swipes in your
armpits. It doesn’t take much to be effective.

Two versions
That our original range of deodorants were vegan-friendly was a
complete accident. It was simply a decsion to use candelilla wax (a
plant wax) because of its characteristics. To be able to cater to a
group that often struggle to find suitable products was great.
After many requests for a range with beeswax too, we began
testing new formulations and fragrance combinations, before
bringing our new range out, in 3 lovely new scents too!
