ANNOUNCMENTS
**Price Change Info**
The new glass jars we are using hold almost double the amount of deodorant. While this creates an immediate price increase, it should save you money in shipping as this will probably decrease how often you will need to order from us.
**Refill Info**
Additionally, refills are potentially going away for good. I hate to blame "supply chain disruptions" as I am sure most people are sick of hearing that phrase, but long story short, we just don't have a reliable supplier that can provide consistent sizing.
We did purchase a small lot of biodegradable containers to test out. These containers will not contain a removable amount of deodorant like the refills. They will arrive filled with deodorant like our glass jars, but they can be used and then discarded without guilt.
These new containers are biodegradable and home compostable, containing inks and coating that are vegetable wax based. These containers are meant to offer an environmentally friendly option to those who are interested.
**********************************
Our natural deodorant is handcrafted in small batches. Every ingredient is specifically selected for its property to prevent unwanted odor. You will still sweat with this deodorant. Sweating is good for the body and the skin. However, with our deodorant you will not have embarrassing odor.
Unlike traditional deodorants, less is more with this deodorant. A very small amount goes a long way. If you feel your pits are oily or you have any residue on the pits of your shirt, you are using too much. This deodorant contains approximately 2.5 oz of deodorant that should last a single user approximately 60-75 days (possibly longer).
We are committed to providing non-toxic products that feed the skin. We use ingredients you know and can pronounce. We only use essential oils to scent our deodorant, and do not use any fragrance oil. When possible and to the max extent possible we use unrefined, organic and non-gmo ingredients.

Lavender & Palmarosa has a light gender neutral smell. Originally we chose to use palmarosa and lavender essential oil because of the benefits palmarosa offers. It is an antiviral, antibacterial and antiseptic essential oil. In our opinion is smells similar to geranium but we have also heard from other that they think it has a rose-like smell.

Timber & Rosemary is a blend of various spruce and pine, peppermint and rosemary essential oils. This combination was choosen because of the benefits of the essential oils. Pine needle, peppermint oil and rosemary are all noted as being antimicrobial, antiseptic and anti-inflammatory. All also are known to be effective in helping with conditions such as dermatitis, psoriasis, itching, pimples, eczema, skin diseases, scabies, and sores.
