Our take
Why We Trust This Brand
PiperWai pioneered the activated charcoal deodorant category and has remained independent despite Shark Tank fame and numerous acquisition offers. The formula is EWG Verified, the ingredient list is short and recognizable, and the company is still owned by its founder.
What's inside
Ingredients & Safety
Activated charcoal (odor absorption), shea butter, coconut oil, cocoa seed butter, vitamin E, tapioca starch, and essential oils. No aluminum, no baking soda, no propylene glycol, no parabens. EWG Verified. Scored 9 rather than 10 because essential oils are used for scent, which can cause sensitivity in some users.
