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.
