Sensitive Clear: Baking Soda Free Deodorant That Goes On Clear

If you’ve been searching for a baking soda free deodorant that actually works—and goes on clear—you’re going to love Sensitive Clear, our newest formula.

We designed it for people with sensitive skin who want serious odor protection without irritation and without white residue. Whether you’ve struggled with baking soda rashes or just want something gentle, this might be your new favorite.

Why Sensitive Clear?

Island Deodorant has long been known for clean ingredients and effective protection, but Sensitive Clear takes things a step further:

• ✅ Baking soda free – no irritation, even for sensitive skin
• ✅ Goes on clear – no more white streaks or residue from zinc oxide
• ✅ Smooth, creamy texture – easy to apply
• ✅ Gentle ingredients – including zinc ricinoleate, the key ingredient in this zinc ricinoleate deodorant, along with magnesium hydroxide, arrowroot powder, and jojoba oil

It’s Not Just for Sensitive Skin

Even if you’ve never had issues with baking soda, you might love this formula. Testers who normally use our Original formula have reported great results with Sensitive Clear, too. It works beautifully across the board — even in Florida humidity and summer heat!

How It’s Different from Our Other Formulas

Our Sensitive and Extra Strength Sensitive deodorants are great options for many people. But there was a need for a baking soda free deodorant that also goes on clear.

Zinc oxide in those versions adds fantastic odor protection, but it also leaves a noticeable white cast on skin and clothing.

Sensitive Clear uses zinc ricinoleate instead, a plant-derived ingredient used in zinc ricinoleate deodorant formulas that absorbs and traps odor molecules without irritating skin. Many people specifically look for deodorant with zinc ricinoleate because it neutralizes odor without blocking sweat.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Sensitive Clear good for sensitive skin?

Yes. Sensitive Clear is completely free of baking soda and is designed to be ultra gentle while still offering strong odor protection.

Does it leave a white residue?

No. Sensitive Clear uses zinc ricinoleate instead of zinc oxide, which means it goes on smooth and clear with no white streaks or powdery finish.

Is Sensitive Clear available now?

Yes. Sensitive Clear has now soft launched and is available on our website following a successful testing phase. You can visit the product page to see the full formula and available options.

What does zinc ricinoleate do in deodorant?

Zinc ricinoleate works by binding to odor molecules and trapping them before they can evaporate into the air. This allows deodorant to control odor effectively without blocking sweat glands like antiperspirants.
