How to Use Solid Deodorant

If you’re new to solid deodorant, the first question is usually: how do I apply it?

The good news — it’s simple.

Hold the bar directly against clean, dry underarms and glide it on like you would a roll-on. Your natural body heat softens the surface slightly, allowing it to apply smoothly.

A few gentle swipes are enough.

How Much Should You Apply?

You don’t need to overdo it. Solid deodorant is concentrated, so a light, even layer works best.

Why Natural Deodorant Feels Different

Our solid deodorants are not antiperspirants.

Antiperspirants use aluminium salts to block sweat glands. Natural deodorant works differently — it allows your body to sweat while helping to neutralise odour and absorb moisture.

In our bars:

  • Arrowroot powder helps absorb moisture

  • Butters and waxes allow smooth application

  • Essential oils provide natural scent

  • Bicarbonate (in our standard version) helps neutralise odour

Because they work with your body rather than blocking sweat, they can feel different at first — especially if you’re switching from conventional antiperspirant.

Bicarb or Bicarb-Free?

We offer two versions:

  • With bicarbonate of soda

  • Bicarb-free (for those with more sensitive underarms)

Some people find bicarbonate works brilliantly for odour control. Others prefer to avoid it if their skin feels sensitive.

Both versions are designed to be effective — it’s simply about choosing what suits your skin.

Will It Stain Clothes?

Our deodorants are formulated not to mark clothing when used in a light, even layer. Allowing it to settle for a minute before dressing can also help.

Our Solid Deodorant Scents

We currently offer:

  • Patchouli & Lime

  • Spearmint & Lemon

  • Lemongrass

  • Floral

Each one is scented with essential oils — no artificial fragrance.

We also have Mineral Salt Deodorant Stones available on our website as an extra option for you.

A Simple, Plastic-Free Alternative

Our solid deodorants are a plastic-free alternative to conventional roll-ons and aerosols. They’re designed to be easy to use, gentle on skin and effective at keeping you fresh throughout the day.
