It’s not here to stop your body from sweating.. it’s here to keep you from smelling like you wrestled a swamp monster by 2pm 😅\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e🚫 WHY I MADE THIS ONE “NO BAKING SODA”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA lot of “natural” deodorants use BAKING SODA because it can help with odor…\u003cbr\u003eBUT it’s also very alkaline (high pH), and for some people that can seriously irritate underarm skin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnd I’m not even saying this dramatically I bought a tallow deodorant that had baking soda in it and it LITERALLY burned my underarms!!! I have a scar from it. That’s when I decided: never again😅\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e✅ SO WHAT MAKES MINE WORK (WITHOUT THE BURN)?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI built this deodorant around MAGNESIUM HYDROXIDE because the whole goal is to help stop odor at the source (that bacteria\/sweat situation). Magnesium hydroxide is commonly used in baking-soda-free deodorants for odor control.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnd I made the base smooth + creamy (because I’ve tried the gritty ones too… the ones that pill up into little balls in your pits… absolutely not 😩).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e🥩 AND NO… YOU’RE NOT GOING TO SMELL LIKE BEEF 😂\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHOW TO USE (SO IT WORKS THE BEST)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eApply to clean, DRY underarms\u003cbr\u003e1–2 swipes is plenty\u003cbr\u003eLet it set for a few seconds before you throw on a black shirt\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003ealuminum-free\u003cbr\u003ebaking-soda-free\u003cbr\u003esmooth (not gritty)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Willow \u0026 Wick","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52555478466927,"sku":null,"price":22.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0917\/0868\/6703\/files\/IMG-7535.jpg?v=1767630374","url":"https:\/\/shoppuddlesandlace.myshopify.com\/products\/tallow-deodorant","provider":"Puddles \u0026 Lace ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
