Commonly used in aromatherapy, Lavender exudes a floral and sweet scent that is revered for its calming effects. As an adaptogen, Lavender naturally relaxes the nervous system, making it the perfect companion for your wind-down ritual before bed or any time you need a moment of peace and clarity. Characterized by the delicate purple hue of its flowers, Lavender may seem airy and light, but the plant is actually complex and resilient — which reminds us of our gentle, but effective Goat Milk Natural Deodorants.

Natural Deodorant Benefits

When our teenage children first started using personal care products, we searched for a natural deodorant but couldn’t find any deodorants on the market that weren’t stacked full of nasty chemicals.

Knowing that ingredients like aluminum, parabens, and sulfates have been linked to everything from skin irritation to hormone disruption, we just didn’t want our children rolling these chemicals under their arms.

So we got to work creating our own. Once we’d perfected the deodorant for our use, we created the Natural Deodorant line with you in mind!

Our Natural Deodorant contains:

• NO aluminum
• NO petroleum-based chemicals
• NO parabens or phthalates
• JUST Simple, natural ingredients

Natural Deodorant is not an antiperspirant, which means it doesn’t clog your pores to stop your body’s natural process of sweating. The process of clogging pores is often created by unhealthy chemicals like aluminum. Instead, our natural deodorant works to minimize odors caused by sweat. So if you have a big day of sports or outdoor work in the hot sun, we recommend you reapply after a few hours to keep that fresh scent.

The Lavender Natural Deodorant will prevent embarrassing odor without the use of unsafe and unhealthy chemical ingredients.

How to Use Natural Deodorant

Natural Deodorant is designed to help you smell fresh, but it’s slightly different from chemical-based store-bought deodorants or antiperspirants and you don't want to use too much.

To use our Natural Deodorants:

1. Dab the deodorant onto your armpit rather than swiping or rubbing it. This will prevent you from using too much.
2. Reapply after a few hours if you have a really busy, hot day ahead of you.

It's that simple and can even be used right after shaving.

Do You Need to Detox Before Starting a Natural Deodorant?

If you've been using antiperspirant for many years, the sweat glands in your armpits have been regularly blocked from sweating and removing toxins. When first switching to a Natural Deodorant, your body may have a detox reaction as these glands begin removing toxins that have built up.

If you have a reaction that shows up as a light rash, it could be an allergic reaction to ingredients or it could be a detoxification reaction. This can happen when you switch to other natural skincare and body care products too — it’s your body’s way of getting rid of nasty chemicals that have built up.

If you try to detox your skin and the reaction continues, discontinue use. Please remember this is not medical advice and has not been approved by the FDA.

How to Pick the Right Deodorant for You

Our Natural Deodorants are available in two distinct categories to meet your unique skin and needs:

• Natural Deodorant with baking soda (a well-known antimicrobial)
• Natural Deodorants that are baking soda free (for those with baking soda sensitivities)

Most people are able to handle baking soda without difficulty. But if you know your skin is incredibly sensitive, you may wish to begin with the baking soda free version.

Lavender Natural Deodorant Ingredients and Details

One Size. Each of our Natural Deodorants comes in a 3.2 oz twist-up tube for easy application.

If you have any redness, irritation, or itching you could either be having an allergic reaction to the deodorant ingredients or you could be having a detoxification reaction. There is no easy way to tell which is the cause. Please stop use immediately. If you would like, you can try and then try the deodorant again to see if you have another reaction.

If you try to detox your skin and the reaction continues, discontinue use. Please remember this is not medical advice and has not been approved by the FDA. Avoid getting any Natural Deodorant in your eyes, and use as directed.
