Natural Deodorant for Sensitive Skin
'Pit Buddy, The Skin-Friendly Natural Deodorant
When it comes to formulating a natural deodorant for sensitive skin, it's not just about what you leave out, but what you put IN that really matters. Each ingredient in 'Pit Buddy Sensitive Skin Natural Deodorant is formulated with a purpose. There's no one "active" ingredient -- we formulate holistically so ingredients work synergistically to combat odor and keep skin happy.
Zinc Oxide
Skin-soothing zinc oxide helps protect skin from chafing irritation, one of the top causes for underarm rashes. Zinc oxide has been used for years in diaper creams because of its natural astringent, deodorizing, and skin-protectant properties.
Organic Arrowroot Powder
Excess moisture in the underarm can cause a number of problems, like skin-to-skin friction (intertrigo), fungal/yeast rashes, and heat rashes (aka prickly heat.) We add a healthy heaping of arrowroot powder to 'Pit Buddy Sensitive Skin Natural Deodorant for its great moisture-absorbing properties and silky-smooth feel. And because arrowroot is non-toxic and organic, you can reapply the formula as often as needed to reduce moisture. Arrowroot powder absorbs moisture without interfering with your body's own sweat production and works with the formula to stop odors before they start. Free moisture on the skin means more "food" for odor-causing bacterium.
Organic Shea Butter
Organic shea butter makes the formula creamy-smooth without being waxy or tacky.
Organic Sunflower Oil
Organic sunflower oil helps to lubricate the underarm, keep the formula more consistent in temperature fluctuations, and acts as a carrier oil so essential oils can be used at effective, yet skin-safe concentrations.
Organic Essential Oils and Scent Extracts
Organic essential oils and scent extracts work with your body chemistry to block offensive odors.
