Faqs

All of our products are made using powerful, effective, truly natural ingredients — and nothing else. Pure, minimally processed, and nutrient-dense.

Ingredients

Magnesium Oil, Rose Hydrosol, Witch Hazel, Clary Sage Essential Oil, Sage Essential Oil, Bergamot Essential Oil

MAGNESIUM OIL (made from magnesium chloride & distilled water)

Quality Standard:

Pure magnesium chloride extracted from Dead Sea water salt brine from Israel. Dried, then rehydrated with distilled water to make magnesium oil.

Ingredient Benefits:

Helps naturally neutralize odor, control bacteria, support healthy sweating, and provide gentle, topical magnesium exposure — a simple way for your body to access this essential mineral*.

*Topical magnesium offers one pathway for the body to take in this vital mineral. No medical claims are made.


ROSE HYDROSOL

Quality Standards

Steam distilled extraction from non-GMO, ethically sourced rose damascena flower petals. 100% pure and free from preservatives, alcohol, and emulsifiers - no infusion, no blend of essential oil and water; and no condensed water.

Ingredient Benefits

Rose Otto Damascena Hydrosol, aka Rose Hydrosol, and Rose Water, Rose Flower water, comes from the beautiful pink, flowering fields in Bulgaria. Rose Hydrosol adds a soft, floral aroma and many skin-healing properties. Emotionally and energetically, Rose Damascena Hydrosol is both invigorating and calming and may help balance hormones.


WITCH HAZEL

Quality Standards

Pure witch hazel extract with 14% alcohol (ethanol). Alcohol is used to distill “witch hazel” from shrubs (twigs and bark). From the USA.

Ingredient Benefits

Native to the Northeastern United States, Witch Hazel, Hamamelis virginiana, is a shrub that produces distinctive yellow blossoms. Known for many health benefits, witch hazel is naturally deodorizing, balancing, astringent, and soothing to the skin. The antioxidants, including flavonoids and polyphenols, may help counteract oxidative stress by neutralizing harmful free radicals.

Folk history suggests that the branches were used in ancient times as divining rods to find water and minerals by “water witches,” hence the name.

 

CLARY SAGE ESSENTIAL OIL

Quality Standards

Steam-distilled, non-GMO, ethically sourced essential oil from France

Ingredient Benefits

Clary Sage Essential Oil, Salvia sclarea, is extracted from the pastel purple flowers and green leaves of the perennial plant. With its fresh, warm, sweet-herbaceous scent and tea and soft tobacco undertones, Clary Sage Essential Oil is calming and can help soothe stressed nerves and jangled emotions that may be provoked by hormone imbalances or stress. It may also help minimize bad bacteria.


SAGE ESSENTIAL OIL

Quality Standards

Steam distilled, non-GMO, ethically sourced, essential oil from Croatia

Ingredient Benefits

Sage Essential Oil, also called Common Sage Oil and Dalmatian Sage Oil, is extracted from the fresh leaves of the Salvia officinalis perennial herb native to the Mediterranean region. Also known as Garden Sage, True Sage, and Culinary Sage, this herb gets its name from the Latin word salvere, which means 'salvation' and is best known for its therapeutic properties and culinary prowess. It offers a natural defense against bad bacteria, and the drying nature of the oil makes it an ideal choice for alleviating dampness resulting from excess perspiration. Emotionally, Sage oil is relaxing and may aid in cognition.

 

BERGAMOT ESSENTIAL OIL

Quality Standards

Cold pressed, non-GMO, ethically sourced, essential oil from Italy

Ingredient Benefits

Bergamot Essential Oil is extracted from the fresh, green rinds of Citrus aurantium var. bergamia fruits grown in orchards on the southern Italian coast. Bergamot Oil has a refreshing, sweet, and balanced blend of citrus and green notes with light floral and bitter undertones, and is used extensively in perfumery. Emotionally and energetically, it is deeply relaxing, restorative, and calming. It can also help minimize the growth of bad bacteria.

Directions

Directions: Shake well. Spray 1 - 2 pumps per armpit. Let dry. Use as often as you’d like.

Important:  Do not apply on newly shaved skin, as it may cause irritation.

For external use only.

Can be used to style hair due to the salt content.

Note: This is not an antiperspirant (which no one should use), and if you have a spike in cortisol (from stress, caffeine, or hormones) the odor may power through the Mineral Deodorant. While this is unfortunate, it is actually your body saying “hey, something is wrong”, and it is important to pay attention to it. You need to chill out, take some deep breaths, and then go wash your pits with soap and water, or if you are on the go, a hand sanitizer can do the trick. If you are smelly, more often without the spike, then it is a worth investigating with your doctor - it could be that you have a yeast infection, or something in your diet, personal care routine, or perhaps you need to switch to natural fiber clothing (wool is excellent) that is naturally odor resistant.

What makes this product sustainable?

  • Glass bottle
  • Concentrated
  • All natural ingredients, no petro-chemicals

Replaces these products

  • Aluminum deodorants (sticks, rollerballs, aerosol spray cans)
  • Deodorant wipes 

What's NOT in it

  • Nasty chemicals, such as parabens, PEGs, BHA, Mineral oils, synthetic fragrances, or cheap fillers
  • Irritants found in natural deodorants like Baking Soda, alcohol or synthetic preservatives

We actually talked a lot about NOT making it - you can read why on our (UN)Product PDP.

However, we’ve received many requests from customers (since it is a standard in personal care), AND we’ve been using our own magnesium oil and essential oil combos to spray on our armpits for many years - it feels more like a supplement plus a refreshing odorant that makes us smile in the morning … so why not share it?

We still believe you don’t need it (every day per our UnProduct statement). BUT, hey, everyone stinks sometimes :), so why not just smell good with some protection and magnesium magic?

Studies

This material and these links are intended as an informational guide. The information herein is meant to supplement and not to be a substitute for professional medical care or treatment. This information should not be used to treat a serious ailment without prior consultation with a qualified healthcare professional.

Our formula uses magnesium, plant-based liquids, and essential oils to neutralize odor-causing bacteria — naturally. It doesn’t block sweat glands or disrupt your body’s natural process. Instead, it keeps you feeling fresh while letting your skin function the way it’s meant to.

Antiperspirants use aluminum salts to plug sweat glands and stop perspiration.

Our Mineral Deodorant is aluminum-free. It doesn’t stop sweat — it simply neutralizes odor and helps absorb excess moisture using clean, non-toxic ingredients.

Possibly for the first 1–2 weeks. This temporary adjustment is normal as your body resets after years of aluminum use. We recommend using baking soda with oil to exfoliate and then gentle dry-brushing to help detox. Once your microbiome balances, most people find sweat levels normalize and odor significantly decreases.

Yes. Magnesium is highly effective at reducing odor-causing bacteria, and our essential-oil blend along with witch hazel and rose hydrosol adds an extra layer of freshness. The formula is designed to be long-lasting without synthetic fragrance.

Sweating is a natural detox function. Our deodorant supports that process rather than blocking it. Instead of stopping sweat, it keeps odor under control and helps manage moisture with lightweight, fast-drying minerals.

Generally, yes, but if you have sensitive skin, we recommend that you do a patch test on your forearm to make sure it doesn’t irritate you. Everyone is different. The formula is baking soda-free and made with gentle ingredients that won’t disrupt your skin barrier.

No. There are no heavy waxes or synthetic oils = low residue. Our deodorant goes on clean and dries quickly, reducing the chance of marks on clothing.

Hard to say - some people are fresh all day, others prefer to reapply. If you’re especially active or live in a hot climate, a quick refresh may help — but most users find the formula long-lasting.

Yes, though it may sting a bit due to the salt content (magnesium chloride). If your skin is extremely sensitive, you may prefer to wait post-shave before applying.

Yes. We use pure essential oils and additive free rose hydrosol and witch hazel for a fresh, clean scent — no synthetic fragrance, phthalates, or “mystery” aroma chemicals.

For best results, use within 12–24 months. Store in a cool, dry place to maintain freshness and potency.
