Activated-charcoal deodorant; the original jar contains baking soda and essential oils.

Our take

Why We Trust This Brand

PiperWai publishes a product-specific ingredient list and identifies its ownership publicly. The original jar is an option for readers who want a cream and tolerate its baking soda and fragrance. We have not measured odor duration, staining or skin tolerance.
