We sold out of the first batch of our new Baking Soda-free Botanical Deodorant Balm. We had quite a few people with sensitive skin asking about samples. We've decided to include a mini sample with every order over £50 until next Friday, the 12th of September.
I would like you to try the sample on a day when you sweat a lot, such as during a Hot Yoga class, at the gym, or while running. Also consider gifting it to anyone you know who struggles with underarm odour and has never found a solution, and people who have extremely sensitive skin. Don’t waste it on calm, cool days :).
Here’s what our very first reviewer said after a 10-hour mountain trail run during a heatwave:
"This new formula is a winner!! Tried and tested in extreme conditions: 10h trail run, climbing 2000m up mountains during an amber alert for a heatwave. I did not smell at all 😯 🔮 ✨️ Two noses checked this unbelievable fact >> no stink 👀 😄 The texture is easier to spread, no more residues, and a lovely, delicate natural scent. It is the best 100% natural deodorant out there 😍😍😍"
Let's look at how a natural deodorant balm can be so good without baking soda!
Why Odour Happens
Sweat itself doesn’t smell.
- Eccrine glands (all over your body) produce mostly salty water.
- Apocrine glands (in your underarms and groin) release a thicker sweat, rich in proteins and lipids.
It’s when bacteria feed on that protein-rich sweat that odour forms. Species like Corynebacterium and certain Staphylococcus break down sweat into volatile compounds (sulfur, fatty acids), the very molecules we recognise as “body odour.”
How Plants Keep You Fresh (Without Baking Soda)
Our blend of Calendula, Nettles, Burdock Root, and Cleavers works in harmony with your skin’s microbiome:
Selective antimicrobial action: plant compounds naturally suppress and outcompete odour-causing bacteria.
Microbiome balance, this leaves space for benign bacteria (S. epidermidis, Cutibacterium) to flourish.

Gentle on skin, unlike baking soda, which can be alkaline and irritating, these herbs soothe and support sensitive skin.
Think of it like your gut microbiome: when you eat fibre-rich, plant-based foods, you nourish the good microbes so they crowd out the troublesome ones. Our balm does the same, shifting your underarm ecosystem toward a fresher, friendlier balance.
Why We Don’t Block Sweat
We believe in honouring your body’s natural processes. Sweat is a river of release, an extension of the cleansing work your liver and kidneys are doing every day.
To block sweat is to tell your body:
“Keep my toxins inside me.”
That’s the logic of antiperspirants, which use aluminium salts to form plugs in your sweat ducts. Yes, it reduces odour indirectly, but it does so by shutting down one of your body’s natural pathways of elimination.
Our balm takes the opposite approach: we let the body sweat, but remove the smell naturally.
The Difference You’ll Feel
- No blocked pores.
- No harsh baking soda irritation.
- No artificial masking.
- Just plants doing what they’ve done for thousands of years: supporting balance.
We don’t fight your body. We work with it. Try it for yourself, gift it to someone who has struggled with odour, or put it to the test in your sweatiest, most demanding moments. You might just find it’s the deodorant you’ve been waiting for.
Voice of the plants inside the balm
I am Cleavers: In the wild, I am a natural shield. When deer give birth to their fawns, they seek out patches of me, for I cloak them in safety, masking their scent, protecting them from predators. On your skin, I work the same quiet magic, gently neutralising odour.
I am Burdock: I am a purifier. I help the body release waste freely, guiding sweat and natural oils through the skin so nothing is trapped. With me, inflammation eases, and the risk of underarm breakouts or irritation is lessened.
I am Nettle: I stand at the gateway of balance. I act on the protein-rich sweat before bacteria can turn it into odour, keeping freshness intact where others falter.
I am Calendula: I am the flower of harmony. Within me live natural allies, good bacteria that support your skin’s own defences, helping it stay calm, strong, and odour-free.
We are of divine nature.
Together, we restore balance, protect your skin, and honour the body’s wisdom.
with all my love,
