Baking Soda Free Deodorant That Actually Works
Have you experienced redness, itching, or irritation from natural deodorant? You’re not alone—and baking soda could be to blame. While it works for many, others find it too harsh for daily use. The good news? You don’t have to sacrifice odor protection just to stay comfortable.
Why Baking Soda Can Cause Problems (for Some)
- High pH: Can occasionally disrupt your skin’s natural balance
- Irritation potential: May lead to redness, dryness, or rash in more sensitive individuals
- Overuse: Some formulas pack in too much baking soda, which raises the risk of a reaction
Our Baking Soda Free Solutions
- Sensitive Formula: Completely baking soda free—uses magnesium and zinc oxide instead. Great for ultra-sensitive skin, though not equally effective for everyone (we offer a money-back guarantee!). It also goes on white due to the zinc oxide.
- Extra Strength Sensitive: Uses just 1/3 the usual amount of baking soda for better tolerance—and tends to work well for more people.
- Effective and gentle: Both deliver odor protection without the discomfort.
Not sure which one to try? Start with our baking soda free formula. If it’s not strong enough, you can layer your baking soda deodorant on top—which helps many people tolerate it. If that combo works, chances are our Extra Strength Sensitive will be a great long-term fit.
And don’t worry—we offer a money-back guarantee (or replacement) on your first stick if it doesn’t work out.
Who It’s For
- Known sensitivity: Anyone who knows they’re sensitive to baking soda
- Past irritation: Those who’ve experienced burning, stinging, or rash with other natural deodorants
-
Preventive approach: People who prefer to avoid baking soda just in case—
though we don’t suggest skipping it by default. Our Original formula works well for most, and if you react to it, we’ll gladly send you a baking soda free version under our guarantee.
