Switching to natural deodorant has a rougher reputation than it deserves. There's a real adjustment period, but it's shorter than most people expect. We make our deOdor Sticks aluminum-free, with a gentle amount of baking soda rather than the heavy dose that can leave sensitive underarms irritated.
The formula leans on baking soda and arrowroot to neutralize odor and keep moisture in check. It won't block sweat the way an antiperspirant does, and we'd rather be honest about that — what it does is handle odor at the source without leaving you red and raw. The folks who tell us about decades of conventional use and finally making the switch talk more about relief than sacrifice: calmer skin, a product they feel good reaching for every morning, and a scent range that makes the routine something to look forward to.
Lemongrass Bergamot and Rosemary Mint are the two we hear about most. Original is unscented and works just as well for anyone who wants clean protection without fragrance. Flannel and Rugged round out the warmer, woodsier end — a favorite with the men in your life and with anyone who'd rather skip the florals.
The collection also includes gentler options for anyone still working through the transition. Heather formulated these in Monroe, Georgia with one goal: a natural deodorant that didn't ask you to lower your expectations. After more than twenty years of making things by hand, that's still the standard we hold it to.
