Our take
Why We Trust This Brand
This is about as independent as it gets: a single founding herbalist, small-batch and self-manufactured, with no corporate parent, no acquisition, and no VC funding. The formulas are plant-based, aluminum-free, and use organic ingredients. We score the ingredients an 8 because the standard cream uses baking soda and essential-oil fragrance (black pepper, clary sage, bergamot), both of which can irritate sensitive skin — the Sensitive Pit Cream is the workaround.
What's inside
Ingredients & Safety
Coconut oil, baking soda, and arrowroot in a beeswax base, scented with essential oils. Aluminum-free and made from American-grown organic ingredients. Baking soda and the essential-oil blend are the two things to watch for reactive skin.
