No Pong

Cult Australian "anti-odourant" balm from a bootstrapped husband-and-wife team.

Our take

Why We Trust This Brand

No Pong is a bootstrapped, founder-owned Australian company (husband-and-wife team) with no outside investment or acquisition on record. The base is genuinely clean — food-grade coconut oil, starch, and waxes with magnesium hydroxide — and aluminum-, paraben-, and plastic-free. We keep it at 8 because the Original uses baking soda and an essential-oil scent (both possible irritants), each solved by the bicarb-free or fragrance-free versions.

What's inside
