Our Deodorant

We believe in the power of nature-based ingredients because they are the most gentle option for our bodies and the planet. Your armpits are very close to your lymph nodes, which means that what you put on your skin in this area has a high likelihood of impacting your internal system. We carefully select every ingredient for its benefits, sustainability, and harmony with our bodies.

Not sure what natural really means? For us, it’s all about using safe minerals, plants, and fermented ingredients that work with your skin microbiome, not against it. Find Out More.

While our Brightening Probiotic Deodorant has moisture-absorbing ingredients, it is not an antiperspirant. In order to qualify as an antiperspirant, a deodorant must contain questionable ingredients like aluminum and parabens. These ingredients physically block your sweat glands from releasing moisture and have been linked to some unwanted health side effects. Sweating is a natural process that helps keep your body cool and comfortable. Biotic allows your body to do what is natural, while preventing body odor with the power of good bacteria.

Yes! We only test products on ourselves and our friends, never on animals.

No! While baking soda is an amazing food additive, it has no place in your deodorant. Often used in natural deodorants to absorb moisture and prevent odor, baking soda can cause extreme skin sensitivity including redness, peeling, and painful irritation. Instead, we use tapioca starch to absorb moisture and probiotics to prevent odor.

We make every effort to prioritize the planet and minimize wasteful packaging wherever possible. That’s why our deodorant comes naked—without an outer box. We use post-consumer recycled plastic in our packaging, which helps keep plastic out of landfills and waterways. We’re constantly looking for new ways to improve the sustainability of our products, and recognize that we can always do better.

If you’ve been using a standard antiperspirant from the drugstore, you may experience an adjustment period when switching to a nature-based deodorant like Biotic. Antiperspirants physically block your sweat glands so that you sweat less. When you stop using an antiperspirant, your body may go through a 2-4 week transition period of increased sweating as your sweat glands get used to not being blocked anymore. Our Brightening Probiotic Deodorant will help counteract stink-causing bacteria so you can sweat without the smell. During the transition period, apply twice a day or as often as needed to feel fresh.
