A completely natural and gentle deodorant for sensitive souls and sensitive skin. My quest to create a natural deodorant that didn't dry out my skin and cause itchy red bumps lasted several years. I finally reached Valhalla by creating a deodorant using zinc oxide, sage extract, and a combo of antibacterial essential oils that smell delicious, while preventing the body odor from developing. This deo smells delightfully fresh, is crazy long lasting when applied, and keeps armpits happy & healthy. Out of all the products I have made, I am truly most proud of this recipe.



The Science  🧪

When you sweat, the sweat itself doesn’t really smell—it’s mostly water with a little salt. The bad smell happens when tiny bacteria on your skin break down parts of the sweat, like natural oils and proteins. This makes smelly chemicals such as fatty acids (which can smell sour) and sulfur compounds called thioalcohols (which smell sharp, like onions or garlic). Zinc oxide helps fight body odor in two ways: it stops many of these bacteria from growing, and it react with the sulfur compounds so they turn into forms that don’t smell. That means zinc oxide doesn’t just cover up odor—it actually keeps the stink from forming in the first place.

 




 

Rich, creamy, and smooth to spread.

This deo is scented with a deliciously fresh, lemony and herbaceous blend of essential oils that smell like a fragrant summer bouquet of lemons and herbs. All of the essential oils inside are antibacterial, which make them useful for preventing unpleasant body odors.

For all ages and genders. Suitable for shaved and unshaved armpits, alike.

Apply and spread a pea-sized amount of deo into each armpit.

Sage extract adds to the deodorant in several ways. It contains compounds like thujone and rosmarinic acid that slow down the growth of bacteria on your skin, which are the main cause of body odor because they break down sweat into smelly chemicals. Sage also has a mild astringent effect, which can slightly reduce sweat production and help keep you feeling fresh. On top of that, it’s gentle on the skin and adds a pleasant herbal scent, making deodorant both effective and soothing.


Baking Soda is also a useful ingredient, but in tiny amounts. I use the teeniest tiny bit in my recipe, but not much, because it can be very rough on the skin, and I am personally very sensitive to it. Why baking soda works for deo? Bacteria that cause body odor like to live in a slightly acidic environment on the skin. When they break down sweat, they release acids and other smelly compounds that make sweat stink. Baking soda works in deodorant by changing that environment. Because it is alkaline, it raises the skin’s pH, making it less acidic and less comfortable for bacteria to grow. With fewer bacteria around, there are fewer odor-causing reactions happening, which helps keep the skin smelling fresh. But here’s the catch: baking soda is pretty rough on skin because it can change the skin’s natural balance too much. That’s why some people get redness, dryness, or rashes when they use deodorants with a lot of baking soda.

Formula logic

No water.
More of the nutrients

Most creams are up to 80% water, so they need preservatives and additives to stay stable. Skin Fluff skips the water and keeps it simple — just ingredients that actually nourish your skin.

  • A rich, concentrated formula with more butters, oils and botanicals — so less product is needed for skin that feels fed, soft and glowy.

  • Instead of water taking up most of the jar, Skin Fluff is packed with shea butter, mango butter, aloe vera butter and botanical oils.

  • Because the formula is concentrated, you only need a small amount for lasting moisture. One jar goes further.
