Works well for most—not just for sensitive skin!
Testers who normally use our Original, Sensitive, and Extra Strength Sensitive formulas had great results with Sensitive Clear too. Most said they’d use it regularly. It held up beautifully—even in Florida summer heat.

This deodorant goes on clear—no white streaks! If you’ve struggled with the white residue from zinc oxide in other formulas, this is a game-changer.

Clean, simple ingredients you can trust:
organic coconut oil, magnesium hydroxide, wild-crafted candelilla wax, organic arrowroot powder, zinc ricinoleate, kaolin clay, organic jojoba oil, lactobacillus ferment

Why this formula is different:
Sensitive Clear isn’t just a variation of our other deodorants — it’s an entirely new formula built around zinc ricinoleate, a powerful odor absorber we’ve never used before. This unique ingredient works differently than magnesium hydroxide or baking soda, which means that even long-time Island Deodorant customers are likely to experience this one differently.  
In tester trials, 80% of people experienced little to no odor throughout the day. 64% reported no odor at all, while another 16% noticed only a slight odor by evening. Sensitive Clear’s odor protection comes from zinc ricinoleate, a powerful ingredient that works differently than baking soda or magnesium alone.

Are you New to Natural Deodorant? If you’re switching from conventional deodorant or antiperspirant, your body may go through a short adjustment period as it adapts to aluminum-free deodorant. Many people notice no issues at all, while others may experience temporary changes in odor as their body chemistry balances out. This adjustment phase looks different for everyone and usually resolves on its own.

Helpful Tips

-Because this deodorant is made with natural oils and waxes, it can soften in warmer temperatures and firm up in cooler ones. This is completely normal and doesn’t affect how well it works.

*Important note about compostable containers:
Because these tubes are made from paperboard rather than plastic molds, they don’t always behave exactly the same from unit to unit. Some tubes may feel harder to push up, while others may slide more easily or push back down during application. Temperature also plays a role — cooler environments can make the deodorant firmer, while warmer temperatures soften it. This variability is part of choosing compostable packaging over plastic.

What’s the difference between zinc oxide and zinc ricinoleate in deodorant?
Both are zinc-based ingredients used in natural deodorants, but they work a bit differently. Zinc oxide helps control odor by creating an environment that’s less friendly to odor-causing bacteria while also soothing and protecting sensitive skin. Because of its natural color, it goes on white. Zinc ricinoleate focuses specifically on odor control by binding to and trapping odor molecules rather than killing bacteria, and it goes on clear.
