Guess what? You have trillions of bacteria in your armpits and they’re not all bad. In fact, even though some might be smelly they’re just doing their job. The collection of bacteria that lives on your skin (and under your arms) is called the skin microbiome and it protects you from external invasion, which could cause infections. When it comes to armpits and underarm odour, there are certain bacteria that smell absolutely fine and others that cling to sweat and cause body odour. (1)(2)

Our unique probiotic deodorant is designed to work with your skin’s own microbiome and support your good smelling bacteria. It contains both Ogliosaccharides from Arrowroot (prebiotic food for your good bacteria) and fermented Lactobacilli ferment (non-live, vegan probiotics). Together these ingredients create the right pH for your good bacteria, leaving you smelling fresh all day. (3)

Our natural deodorant contains nourishing UK Hemp seed oil, rich Shea Butter, Magnesium and an antibacterial blend of Rosemary (4) and Coconut (5) oils. The spreadable balm-to-powder consistency creates a thin barrier on your skin, which also prevents odour.

Sustainability

First, we only source our ingredients, labels, and paper packaging from trusted suppliers based in the UK and Italy. Every one of our ingredients must fit in at least one of these five criteria: Soil Association Certified Organic, Fair-trade, Wild-crafted, Food Grade, or Local Organic (small producer without certification but grows using organic farming methods).

Second, we use UK-grown Hemp Seed Oil across our natural skin care range because it is the most sustainable crop available – and it’s amazing for your skin. Hemp crops require almost no water, pesticides, herbicides and they actually replenish the soil. Our hemp oil is food grade, grown from seed, without the use of chemicals, on a small farm in West Sussex, UK

Third, our packaging is made from recyclable glass, aluminium and card. Our card packaging is made seven miles from our studio, using recycled FSC materials and is printed with biodegradable vegetable inks.

Fourth, we are a certified cruelty-free brand (Leaping Bunny approved). We do not test on animals or use ingredients known to be unhealthy for humans or the planet. We are certified by Leaping Bunny, the best assurance that a company has made a genuine commitment to ending animal testing.

Fifth, we conserve water by leaving it out of our formulas. It doesn’t belong there!

Sixth, we review our environmental impact policy and ethos annually to ensure that we are leaving as little impact on the planet as possible. We are ahead of the curve, as we has a sustainable supply chain.
