Shea-Based Natural Deodorant
Less Funk, More Freshness.
Handcrafted in small batches in Muskoka, Canada, Pit Paste melts effortlessly into the skin with a soft, balm-like texture that glides on smoothly without tugging or residue. No stinging. No gritty feeling. No harsh ingredients disrupting your skin barrier.
Made with nourishing shea butter, sweet almond oil, magnesium hydroxide, arrowroot powder, bentonite clay, and grounding essential oils, this formula helps support your skin while naturally keeping odours at bay.
The experience is more than daily deodorant ~ it's small grounding ritual woven into everyday care.
Apply a small (really small) amount to your arm pit. A gentle massage can encourage lymphatic drainage.

Frequently asked questions
What makes pit paste different from regular deodorant?
Pit Paste is free from baking soda, synthetic fragrances, and harsh chemicals, making it an ideal choice for those with sensitive skin. Our shea-based formula nourishes your skin while keeping you fresh.
How do I apply pit paste?
Simply swipe a small amount onto clean, dry skin. You only need a thin layer, and it will melt into your skin for all-day freshness! If the product feels hard, warm it into the skin by gently rubbing circles around your armpit (this is awesome for lymphatic drainage).
Will this deodorant stain my clothes?
Pit Paste is designed to absorb quickly and not leave residue. However, as with any natural product, we recommend letting it absorb fully before dressing. If you notice any marks, they should come out easily with a quick wash.
Is Pit Paste safe for sensitive skin?
Yes! Our formula is specifically designed for sensitive skin types. It’s free from irritating chemicals, and we use natural ingredients that nourish and protect your skin. (Please note: we use almond oil which may not be safe for those with nut sensitivity)
How long does one jar last?
One jar of Pit Paste lasts around 3-4 months, depending on your daily use. It’s compact and travel-friendly, so you can take it anywhere!
