Less funk. More freshness.

Meet the natural deodorant your pits have been waiting for. This shea-based formula is completely baking soda-free, ultra-gentle, and shockingly effective. No stinging, no rashes, no “detox period” drama — just smooth, comfortable underarms that stay fresh all day.

Why It Works

We replaced irritating ingredients with skin-loving butters and oils that support your microbiome instead of fighting it. The texture is soft, easy to spread, and melts on contact for a smooth, nourishing finish.

Who It’s For

Anyone who’s given up on natural deodorant.
Anyone with reactive, sensitive, easily-irritated underarms.
Anyone who wants something that actually works without the harsh stuff.

Ingredients: Organic Shea Butter, Sweet Almond Oil, Magnesium Hydroxide, Arrowroot Powder, Bentonite, essential oils: Tangerine, Frankincense, Sandalwood.

Fair Trade Organic Shea Butter - high in fatty acids and vitamins A and E which can deeply nourish irritated or inflamed skin and promote healing, making it perfect for sensitive skin like the underarms.

Almond Oil - packed with vitamins E, A, and D. This oil forms a protective barrier that locks moisture into the skin without clogging pores, which is especially important in deodorants to prevent dryness or irritation.

Magnesium Hydroxide - helps neutralize odor by balancing the pH of the skin and reducing bacterial growth that causes body odor. Soothing properties can reduce inflammation, which is beneficial for those prone to underarm irritation

Arrowroot powder - Absorbs moisture without clogging pores. It helps prevent the feeling of stickiness or wetness under the arms.

Bentonite - known for its ability to detoxify the skin, absorb toxins, and reduce inflammation.

Essential oils - not just for their refreshing scents; they also offer specific therapeutic benefits for skin health and overall well-being.

Tangerine - mildly astringent
Frankincense - healthy skin cell turnover
Sandalwood - bacteria fighting

Apply a small (really small) amount to your arm pit. A gentle massage can encourage lymphatic drainage. If you ever feel slippery after your application, use less next time. Since there's no water in this product a little goes a long way.

Does it leave residue? No. There won't be any grey left on your shirt. It won't feel gritty under your arms.

Other uses

Chaffing companion. This moisture wicking ultra-nourishing paste can be used anywhere you need less funk and more freshness.

Moment for Yourself

The Story Behind our Deodorant

This deodorant was truly a community creation. After so many of you asked for a natural option without baking soda, I felt honoured to try my hand at it. You shared your frustrations — the rashes, the stinging, the disappointment — and I wanted to give you something different. Something gentle. Something that actually works.

What began as a simple request turned into a product I’m deeply proud of. The feedback has blown me away, and your repeat orders mean the world. This little jar is proof that when we listen, iterate, and stay grounded in the needs of real people, magic happens. If you’ve been hesitant to try another natural deodorant, this might be the one that surprises you.

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.
