Arrowroot root extract functions as a natural absorbent, helping to control odor by soaking up excess sweat and moisture that bacteria thrive on, essentially acting as a natural alternative to talc, providing a dry and smooth feel under the arms.

Diatomaceous earth is a naturally occurring, fine, sandy powder that's derived from rock and nearly pH neutral, making it safe for sensitive skin. In addition it absorbs moisture and eliminates odors:

• Absorbency Diatomaceous earth is a highly absorbent powder that can help limit perspiration and absorb excess moisture. 
• Odor elimination Diatomaceous earth can help eliminate odors and carry the scents of essential oils. 

Magnesium hydroxide is a naturally occurring compound that's used as an alternative to aluminum, baking soda, and other potentially irritating ingredients. It's used because it:

• Neutralizes odor-causing bacteria Magnesium hydroxide creates an alkaline environment on the skin that's inhospitable to bacteria. 
• Balances the body's natural pH Magnesium hydroxide slowly changes the pH of your skin, giving it time to adjust. 
• Doesn't absorb into the skin Magnesium hydroxide is safe and doesn't absorb into the skin. 
• Less soluble than aluminum Magnesium hydroxide is less soluble than other natural aluminum alternatives, which can help absorb moisture

Saccharomyces ferment filtrate is a yeast-derived probiotic ingredient that helps neutralize odor-causing bacteria and maintain a healthy skin microbiome:

• How it works: Saccharomyces ferment is a yeast enzyme that breaks down compounds in sweat that cause odor, such as ammonia and volatile organic compounds (VOCs).
• Benefits: Saccharomyces ferment is a natural deodorizing agent that nourishes the skin and has antimicrobial and antifungal properties. It's similar to the bacteria and enzymes found in kimchi and kefir. 

Silica is a naturally abundant mineral that's also known as silicone dioxide and helps absorb sweat.

Coco-Caprylate/Caprate is a lightweight, plant-based emollient derived from coconut oil, acting as a softening agent that helps to provide a smooth, non-greasy feel on the skin without clogging pores, making it suitable for most skin types, including sensitive skin.

Our proprietary essential oil fragrance blend of Rose, Patchouli and Vetiver is 100% natural.

Nannochloropsis oculata extract is derived from a type of marine microalgae. It contains omega-3 fatty acids, amino acids, proteins, and vitamins B12 and C.

It is known for its skin-tightening and rejuvenating properties and can help protect skin from oxidative stress, improve skin elasticity and firmness.

Jojoba esters are a complex mixture of esters derived from jojoba oil, and are another name for jojoba wax. Jojoba is the only botanical source of liquid wax esters, and is similar to the sebum on the skin and scalp.

Jojoba esters can improve the oxidative stability, color, and odor of deodorants. They can also help make skin feel soft and smooth.

Caffeine is a natural astringent that can help reduce sweat production by constricting sweat ducts, acting as a mild antiperspirant alternative to aluminum compounds commonly found in traditional deodorants; however, the amount of caffeine present is very low and is not considered to have systemic effects like consuming caffeinated beverages would.

Tocopherol, also known as vitamin E, is a natural preservative and antioxidant:

• Preservative: Tocopherol prevents the degradation of natural ingredients in deodorants. 
• Antioxidant: Tocopherol protects skin cells and membranes from environmental damage.

Glycerin is a clear, colorless, odorless liquid that's derived from vegetable oils.

Glycerin helps hydrate the skin and absorb excess moisture.

"Aqua," which simply means water, is used as a solvent to dissolve other ingredients, allowing for a smooth, easy-to-apply consistency and to create a base for the other components like active ingredients and fragrances to be mixed into; essentially, it acts as the primary liquid medium in the deodorant formulation.

Acacia decurrens is a wax extracted from the Mimosa plant flower.

It has the ability to create a protective barrier on the skin, helping to prevent moisture build-up and odor by trapping sweat, while also providing a smooth, non-sticky feel due to its moisturizing properties and natural soothing effect on the skin.
