Balance Deodorant combines a great natural deodorant with other plant benefits for women.
To make this women’s coconut oil deodorant, we chose essential oils from the geranium and ylang ylang plants. These oils are frequently found in the hormone balance tool kit.
Wherever a woman finds herself in life, geranium and ylang ylang provide support. Both of these oils have been used and studied for their effect on mood. They are believed to ease anxiety and depression, and ylang ylang is considered especially calming.
With balancing power and odor protection, our deodorant works hard for you and still manages to care for your tender skin.

The Core
Our deodorants have a smooth and simple base made of carefully chosen ingredients. Together, they neatly manage underarm odor and its causes.
Coconut oil is the firm foundation for all of our deodorants. This plant oil is a great core because it fights hard against the bacteria that cause odor while still nourishing your underarm skin.
Getting rid of moisture is an important part of a deodorant’s job. First, so that you feel fresh, but also so that sweat doesn’t stay around to grow bacteria or cause irritation. For this, we pack in as much arrowroot powder as our sticks will hold. It is silky and softening and very good at absorbing sweat.
Beeswax works with the coconut oil to create a strong deodorant stick that glides smoothly during application. We also add a tiny amount of baking soda to make use of its deodorizing ability.
What’s missing from our deodorants is just as important as what is included. All of our deodorants are aluminum free, paraben free, and sulfate free.
A Note About Natural
This is not an antiperspirant and will not keep you from sweating. Instead, it works with your body to naturally absorb moisture and keep bacteria from causing the unwanted odor.
Tip for Switching
When switching from an antiperspirant to a natural deodorant it may take several weeks for your body to adjust. Be patient and ready to apply more often as you adjust.
