Due to the delicate nature of the botanicals and oils in our products and the fact that we do not harsh incorporate synthetic preservatives, the shelf life of our products is typically 10 - 24 months. We use ECOCert preservatives, when required, or Vitamin E to ensure we are keeping our products as safe and natural as possible. We also make our products in small batches to ensure that what is going out is freshly made. To insure your product lasts long it is important to store it correctly (see next question for directions). If you purchase a product that you think is past its prime, please contact us and we will get to the bottom of it.  

We suggest storing our products in a cool environment (room temperature or below) and out of direct sunlight with the cap on securely in order to keep them at their best.

No. No way. We test our products on friends & family, not animals ;)

We are also Leaping Bunny Certified as of 2019 :)

YES. I know it's hard to believe with all the natural deodorants out there that just try to mask odors and don't really do the job. Our amazing formulation using a vast array of natural ingredients gets the job done for you, and it lasts 24 hours for most people, like the conventinal aluminium filled junk, without the junk!

Our deodorant will not leave any yellow stains in the underarm area of your clothing.

Our deodorant should not stain your clothes if applied correctly. If too much product is applied or if deodorant is not given enough time to absorb thoroughly, some product may transfer to clothes and cause temporary staining - which is typically easily removed by washing the clothing with warm water. Soaking in hot soapy water if required will help get it out. When our deodorant is applied correctly, staining is very rare. If you're having any issues, the best thing to do is to rub it in with your hands before applying your clothes. Use it as an opportunity to get in touch with yourself :)

Yes. But, you will feel more dry than if you weren't wearing our deodorant. The Arrowroot powder and the synergistic unique blend of clays will help absorb the moisture. Remember, sweating is good! Especially when it doesn’t smell bad. Sweating is the natural way your body rids itself of toxins and cools itself. Using our deodorant is a win-win, for your body and your social life.  

Yes the container is recyclable. The biodegradable containers are safe to put into your green bin :) It uses FSC certified paper. For it to fully compost quickly it's best in a municipal composting facility than in your backyard heap because of the layer of wax paper that lines the inside to ensure your deodorant can glide up/down easily.

We recommend stopping use if any irritation occurs as we are not doctors, we don't pretend to be and it's the safest thing for us to say. You are welcome to do your own research into Armpit detoxing and how it can cause temporary inflammation of lymph nodes or a rash. Some individuals are sensitive to Baking soda, if that is the case for you, we recommend trying out baking soda free deodorant! You can read more about the difference here.

In really hot weather it can go soft, just stick it in the fridge for a bit and it will re-solidify.

You've most likely been experiencing what's known in the natural deodorant industry as 'pit detox'
Give the Deodorant up to 1 month of regular use. To speed up the process ensure you drink plenty of water, get enough regular exercise to break a sweat, be mindful of your diet and even consider dry brushing the area. If no results after 1 month just let us know and we can work something out!

To avoid any white marks, either wait a few minutes before putting on clothes, or apply the deodorant under your clothing.

If you do get white marks they will come out with soapy water.
