Learn about Hannah & Rachel’s underarm care routines, and all the health-supporting natural deodorants we have available online.
You’ll also get a few extra tips for balancing underarm bacteria and choosing products that support breast health.
What makes a good natural deodorant?
To make it on our shelves, a deodorant has to be cruelty-free as well as free of alumnium, parabens, petrochemicals, and any potentially harmful synthetic ingredients and preservatives.
We look for deodorants that contain nourishing plant-based ingredients that are sustainably sourced.
The deodorants we choose have to do more than just reduce odour and promote freshness. They have to nurture the skin in some way.
Instead of forcing the underarms into submission, as conventional products do, all of these deodorants work with the body, leaving the skin in better condition than it was before.
What Hannah uses
Hannah likes the neutral but powerful simplicity of this natural deodorant spray. Its sensitive formula doesn’t irritate her skin, and it keeps her feeling fresh all day.
The combination of witch hazel and rose essence is cleansing and light.
As with all of these natural deodorants, it doesn’t block the pores (unlike most conventional deodorants) so it assists in the elimination of toxins.

What Rachel uses
Pit Putty Lemongrass & Tea Tree
Rachel loves the invigorating scent of this natural deodorant. It’s one you apply with your fingers, which, she points out, allows you to get to know your body.
There are so many lymph nodes, glands, and ducts in our armpits. A deodorant like this allows you to feel if anything has become swollen, tender, or infected and to keep a check on any changes in your underarms and breasts.
Rachel uses this beautifully scented natural spray after applying the Pit Putty deodorant.
She finds the combination works for her even after hours at work, moving quickly through the shop putting together orders for online customers.

More products that support underarm health
About once a week, it’s a good idea to gently exfoliate your armpits to loosen the plugs in clogged pores and soften the skin.
This organic body scrub comes from an eco-friendly company we love—think plant-based packaging and water-fueled electricity.
It’s filled with probiotics that help balance beneficial underarm bacteria while reducing odour-causing bacteria.

This naturally antibacterial spray can provide extra protection against odour during times where you’re more active than usual, under more stress, or on your period.
Spray a bit of the scent-free liquid onto each armpit, then apply your deodorant of choice for a double layer of protection.

Whole body wellness
When cared for, our armpits serve as an important location for detox. It makes sense to use underarm products that aid in this process, rather than products that try to stop it.
If you have any questions about these products, or you’re looking for something in particular, get in touch ([email protected]) and we’ll help you out.
