Pit Putty Spearmint & Tea Tree Organic Deodorant is appropriate for everyone! It's safe for kids (barring any personal allergies), adults, men, women, even pregnant and breastfeeding women. The spearmint & tea tree scent is unisex. Tea tree has a somewhat medicinal quality, but in a unique, not overpowering way. It just smells fresh and clean. The spearmint adds a beautiful sweet mint overtone. All of our Pit Putty Sticks, even those with baking soda, are gentle on even sensitive skin. 

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 Spearmint & Tea Tree 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 Spearmint & Tea Tree Pit Putty Organic Deodorant alone, or paired with Spearmint & Tea Tree Pit Buddy Sensitive Cream. 

Pit Putty is USDA certified organic, so you can trust that what's *on* the label matches what's *in* the product. No mystery ingredients like "fragrance." Organic certification also ensures against the presence of GMO material, artificial colors, petrochemicals (like ozokerite) or other synthetic chemicals. 

Pit Putty is a great option to choose if you're experiencing wetness-related irritation like intertrigo or heat rash. 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. 

Sweating is a natural process of the body! It helps you regulate temperature and even helps kill viruses and bacteria. The body sweats to remove buildup of toxins, such as by-products of protein 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. 

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).

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 spearmint and tea tree 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. A small amount of baking soda (less than 5%) alkalizes the underarm slightly to make it inhospitable to bacterial growth as well. 

Most companies just load up their formulas with artificial preservatives, too much baking soda, and other harsh ingredients so each of their variations work 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.
