BENEFITS OF BIOACTIVE DEODORANT
As you begin your journey of switching to organic ingredients in your deodorant, it’s normal to experience a detoxing phase where it will appear as though the product might not be working. You might notice excessive sweating and/or stronger than usual body odors. This is due to the full on release of built up toxins that have been trapped in your sweat glands. Commercial deodorant brands use anti-perspirants that contain heavy metals such as aluminum or zirconium in their products because they block sweat glands and thus prevent sweating. This is harmful & counterintuitive to the body’s natural detoxing mechanism. Sweating not only is the body’s cooling system, although it serves a function of removing unwanted contaminants. Located deep within the armpit are axillary lymph nodes. The function of the axillary lymph nodes, like that of the rest of the lymphatic system, is to defend against foreign particles, provide immunity against microorganisms, and return excess interstitial fluid back to the systemic circulation. Clogging your pores with anti-perspirants not only stops the axillary lymph nodes from draining the detox cycle, but also adds toxins such as aluminum & triclosan back into your body. The axillary lymph nodes are of particular clinical significance as they are often the first site of breast cancer metastasis. Since Bioactive Organic Deodorant doesn’t contain any anti-perspirants or aluminum your body can continue the detox phase and should normalize within 1-2 weeks of use.

STAY DRY NATURALLY
We use arrowroot powder that comes from the rhizomes of a plant to help keep you dry. Arrowroot powder helps with sweat by not blocking it, but instead absorbing it. Keep in mind because your pores are still open that they still need to drain sweat therefore, you won’t get the total toxic & harmful pore blocking effects of industrial aluminum, although arrowroot will help wick away the moisture.

DISTINCTITIVE & SIGNATURE SCENTS
We spared no expense at sourcing the highest quality & most unique botanical extracts in order to bring our craftsmanship to life. As artisans, our scents needed to be equally as special as the blends themselves.

LONG LASTING SAVINGS
Our deodorants are concentrated & one stick can last two months with once daily use!

Q: I have sensitive skin. Will the deodorants cause me to break out?
A: No they shouldn't. We have purposefully eliminated known irritants often found in natural deodorants such as sodium bicarbonate (aka baking soda) and ozokerite. We also don't use any heavy metals such as aluminum or synthetic anti-microbials such as triclosan. If you are concerned that our botanical ingredients might cause an allergic reaction then it's always best to perform a spot test before use.

Q: I work outdoors & every natural deodorant has failed to neutralize my body odor. How do I know yours works?
A: Great question & believe me, we've been there once upon a time which is what prompted us to make our very own! As farmers & all out plant enthusiasts, we spend an enormous amount of time working the land, tending to our plants, harvesting, & working on soil regeneration projects which makes for a good amount of sweating. Being that we're located in South Florida, that add's extra humidity so if our deodorants can pass our work load along with the work load of delivery workers, construction personnel, athletes, fishermen, landscapers & so many more laborious professions, then we're certain they can work for you!

Q: Can I get 24hr odor protection?
A: Yes you can!

Q: Is "The Classic" truly "Fragrance-Free"? A: Yes it is! It's as neutral as neutral gets.

Q: How long does a stick of deodorant last?
A: From our experience of once a day daily use, we have found that one deodorant stick can over a month!
