Why We Trust This Brand

This is one of the purest independence stories in clean beauty: founder-owned since 2009, never took investor money, and still made in-house. It is vegan and cruelty-free with certified-organic ingredients and a baking-soda-free option for reactive skin.

Ingredients & Safety

Aluminum-free deodorant, not an antiperspirant, free of SLS, parabens, phthalates, petrochemicals, and synthetic fragrance. Original uses shea butter, kaolin clay, magnesium hydroxide, and baking soda; the Sensitive line swaps baking soda for charcoal and clay.

Certifications

Vegan Cruelty-Free Made with certified-organic ingredients
