Geranium Lime Pit Putty Certified Organic Deodorant (no baking soda)
What's feminine and fresh but still strong enough to prevent odor? Geranium and lime! The geranium is rose's earthy cousin with a beautiful headiness, while the lime balances it out with a refreshing, citrus kick. It's the perfect scent combination to keep you smelling fresh and clean. This particular Pit Putty Stick has no baking soda but it works great! And while it is a more floral scent, it actually works and smells great on men, too!

Anything Else We Should Know?
Who is this made for?
Pit Putty Geranium & Lime (no baking soda) Organic Deodorant is appropriate for everyone! It's safe for kids (barring any personal allergies), adults, men, women, even pregnant and breastfeeding women. The geranium & lime scent is more of a floral and citrus blend, but it has an earthiness to it. While it is a floral/citrus blend, I actually love the smell of it on a man, too. Although all of our Pit Putty Sticks, even those with baking soda, are gentle on skin, this is a good formula to choose if you want to avoid baking soda.
For heavier sweaters
No natural substance will stop you from sweating, as it's a natural process of the body. The next best thing is to use a powder-based deodorant like this Pit Putty Stick *absorb* wetness. It may be more inconvenient, but it’s the best way to keep moisture-related issues under control without having to resort to an antiperspirant.
Apply Pit Putty Geranium & Lime (no baking soda) Organic Deodorant any time you feel wetness and it'll dry you right back up on contact! The formula is mostly powder, so you can safely reapply any time and any *where*. It works great on feet, under breasts, in folds of skin, in the groin area. It works as a body powder, too!
For sensitive skin
Use Geranium & Lime Pit Putty (no baking soda) Organic Deodorant alone, or paired with Geranium & Lime Pit Buddy Deodorant Cream.
How do we make it?
It's just four simple ingredients we mix in a big old Hobart mixer we've affectionally named "Bart." We take organic arrowroot powder and mix it with organic extra virgin coconut oil (it smells so good) and a touch of organic geranium essential oil and a splash of organic lime essential oil. (Ok, we weigh all of our ingredients and use standardized formulas every time.) Blend it together until it's fully mixed and the right consistency. Then we actually stuff the product down in to its tube by hand (wearing gloves always) and then smooth the top on a tempered glass surface. It can't be poured because the mix is so powdery and it can't be made with big machinery. It truly is a putty-like consistency, that's why we named it Pit Putty! When the batch is done, a member of the "bee" team from the labeling department comes and gets it. They clean the tubes, apply the labels, and add a batch sticker to each tube. Once the batch is ready, we put it in our inventory system and it goes in our warehouse and we ship it to you! We do all of this in our own facility. We don't outsource production or shipping to third-party labs or warehouses. We insist on doing it all.
Why use Pit Putty?
Sweating is a natural process of the body! It helps you regulate temperature, remove toxins, such as by-products of metabolism that would otherwise have to pass through the kidneys. When you use an anti-perspirant, you're interfering with this natural process. Organic deodorants help to control odor without disrupting our body's beautiful built-in detoxification pathways.
Pit Putty is USDA certified organic, so you can trust that what's *on* the label matches what's *in* the product. We're inspected every year (sometimes by surprise) by our third-party certifying agency, UDAF.
No mystery ingredients like "fragrance." Organic certification also ensures against the presence of GMO material, artificial colors, petrochemicals (like ozokerite) or other synthetic ingredients.
Most underarm rashes are actually caused by wetness, so using a product that's mostly powder is the best thing you can do for your skin. Pit Putty is a great option to choose if you're experiencing wetness-related irritation like intertrigo or heat rash.
Body odor is actually caused by bacteria. We all have a unique microbiome of bacteria on our skin (aka "body chemistry.") And it can change over time based on a number of factors (environment, hormones, genetics, stress).
Why doesn't my elbow get B.O.?
When we're born, we have eccrine sweat glands all over our body. Eccrine sweat glands release basically just salt water. When we hit puberty, our apocrine glands develop in our underarms and groin. Apocrine glands release more than just salt water. This sweat contains fatty acids, amino acids, hormones and their metabolites, metabolism by-products -- it's a soup of compounds on which bacteria can feed. Different strains of bacteria create different types of body odor that can be onion-ey, sour, cheese-ey, and more. So when we say "body chemistry" that's what we mean. The unique compounds in our sweat and the particular blend of bacteria on our skin.
Holistically Formulated
We formulated Pit Putty holistically to stop odor at the source. First, by absorbing perspiration (bacteria needs moisture to grow) and second by choosing essential oils and scent extracts that stave off bacterial growth. While geranium and lime essential oils have a great scent together, they were chosen for their antibacterial properties. It's all about finding the right blend for your particular body chemistry.
Most companies just load up their formulas with artificial preservatives, too much baking soda, and other harsh ingredients so each one works the same for everyone. That's what you've gotta do to be carried in Target and Walmart. But we're not. We're different. We formulate holistically, understanding that each person is unique. That's why we have so many different formulas and why we have our deodorant replacement guarantee. It's all about finding the right blend for your particular body chemistry.

it was decent
My girlfriend didnt like the smell of it but she also couldnt apply it because it would flake off everytime. I know it says in the instructions your doing it to rough if it flakes, for me i couldnt get it to. It works as a deoderant for a exceptional time when you get it on. Kind of disappointed:( will be buying the almond deoderant cream instead, as that works amazing for me.

Geranium Lime 'Pit Putty Certified Organic Deodorant (no baking soda)
I want to start by saying I absolutely LOVE Bubble and Bee products. I am not sold on this stick as of yet, not because it does not work. The product itself is wonderful. The problem I am having is the stick crumbles and it is hard to apply. However, finding deodorants that actually WORK with no baking soda is hard to accomplish; yet, Bubble and Bee once again knock it out of the ball park. Thank you for selling outstanding products.

Smells lovely
It took me some time to get used to and it smells lovely. This was my first "no baking soda" deodorant and I clearly require the baking soda. This product works well for days when one does not expect to perspire.

Seems like good product but not for me
Caused no reactions to my sensitive skin, loved the ingredients and packaging. However, did not completely stop odor for me, and I found the fragrance too strong.

Effective, but don't love the scent
I was excited to try this product since I have been looking for a natural deodorant for some time now. As far as effectiveness, it seems to work well. I used it for almost two weeks and it held up. However, I really don't like the scent. It's not at all feminine and it is very strong and apparent. It is all I smelled throughout the day. I tried using less (just one swipe each armpit) to see if it would lessen the scent, but it didn't help any. I would love to have a more feminine scent to give this a full five stars because I think it really does work. Unfortunately, I had to stop using this deodorant because I felt like I smelled like a man. And now I have a barely used deodorant....

On the whole great! and I do like the smell!
Great product and i like the smell. it's crumbly some, but i'm guessing that can't be helped. and as longs as i don't role up the stick to high, it's totally fine and no problems. and thankfully i don't have to put it on over and over again, normally putting it on once a day works great!
-
Refreshing!
I love the completely organic nature of this product. Not like a normal deodorant stick -- you have to refrain from rolling up too much at once or it all crumbles apart. I have had no problems with skin reactions or clothing discoloration after 1 month. I love it!

effective, but crumbles easily
got this for my daughter-in-law who has looked and looked for (and tried several) truly natural deodorant. This is the first that has been fairly effective for her, but she does not appreciate the way it crumbles. The weather has not been warm, and she keeps it in a neutral atmosphere. Any suggestions? Reply: Thanks for your review, Mary! It may be that she's just applying it too vigorously. I recommend one to two downward swipes. Don't go hard up and down like with other deodorants or it will flake off or crumble. You can also find more tips here on our Pit Putty Help Page: http://bubbleandbee.com/pit-putty-help-page/

Best natural deodorant ever!
I've tried so many different natural deodorants after deciding to stop using the conventional anti-perspirant/deodorants which contain too many harmful ingredients. Unfortunately, every single natural deodorant I've tried in the past year has failed until I found yours! It actually keeps me dry and does not cause my pits to turn bright red and hurt. I will definitely continue buying this deodorant and recommend it to everyone I know! Thank you for making such a great product!

bubble and bee Best!

from a new customer
I bought 4 deodorant sticks for myself and 3 family members and we are all very satisfied. Your product offers good protection against wetness and the scent is pleasant with being over powering.

im obsessed!
This is the best smelling, best performing deodorant by Bubble + Bee! I've been using it for over a year now and it's changed my life. No more chemicals or bad ingredients in my deodorant. I tell all my friends to buy it. It takes your body a couple months to adjust once you've switched from regular non-natural deodorant, but once it does it works so well. I've tried all of the other natural deodorant brands and none of them worked for me except this one.

Just what I wanted!
I have been looking for an organic deodorant for some time. I have been thrilled with this product. No odor and NO problem! When it starts to break up, following the instructions to reform the putty makes everything better. Great product! Thank you!

Very Effective!
I've been using this for about 2 weeks and I find it very effective. Yesterday I did an intense cardio class so it was going to be the ultimate test: no smell after the class yay! Love this product and glad I found it.
