A handcrafted, plant-based deodorant with shea and mango butters, magnesium hydroxide and a bright blend of sweet orange, lemon and patchouli essential oils. It glides on smoothly and keeps you feeling fresh and comfortable.

Bright, clean and energising, Citrus Zest is a natural deodorant that wakes up your morning routine. Zesty sweet orange and lemon are grounded by a touch of earthy patchouli, so the scent feels fresh without being sharp.

Each batch is handcrafted in small quantities with shea butter, mango seed butter, jojoba oil, almond oil and coconut oil, which keep underarm skin soft and conditioned. Candelilla wax, a plant-derived wax, gives the balm its smooth, firm texture. Arrowroot powder and kaolin clay absorb moisture and help skin feel dry and comfortable, while magnesium hydroxide helps neutralise odour without the harshness some people experience with baking soda. Vitamin E conditions skin and helps keep the formula fresh.

It contains no aluminium, no baking soda, no parabens, no synthetic fragrance and no animal-derived ingredients.

Note: This is a deodorant, not an antiperspirant. It helps control underarm odour, but it does not block sweat.

Who it’s for: anyone looking for an aluminium-free, plant-based deodorant with a fresh, uplifting citrus scent.

How to Apply

1. Apply to clean, dry underarms, ideally after a bath or shower.
2. Glide a thin layer under each arm, or warm a small amount between your fingers and smooth it on. A little goes a long way.
3. Allow a few seconds to absorb before dressing.
4. Reapply during the day if needed, such as after exercise or on very hot days.

Tip: Less is more. A thin layer is enough and prevents any greasy feel.

Storage & Safety

• Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat. In hot weather the balm may soften, since natural butters and coconut oil melt at warm temperatures. If it softens, keep it in a cool place or refrigerate briefly to firm it up.
• For external use on underarms only.
• Contains almond (tree nut), coconut and essential oils. Not suitable for anyone with a nut allergy or sensitivity to essential oils or fragrance.
• Citrus oils can make skin more sensitive to sunlight. [Include if your lemon oil is cold-pressed: “Avoid direct sun exposure on the application area.”]
• Do a patch test before first use. Stop using it if irritation occurs.
• Avoid applying on broken, cut or freshly shaved skin.
• Best used within 3 months of opening.

Is it an antiperspirant?
No. It’s a deodorant, so it helps control odour but does not stop sweating. This is normal for aluminium-free formulas.

Is it aluminium-free and baking soda-free?
Yes. It uses magnesium hydroxide for odour control instead of aluminium salts or baking soda.

What does it smell like?
A fresh, zesty blend of sweet orange and lemon with a soft, earthy patchouli note.

Will the citrus scent last all day?
Natural essential oil scents are lighter than synthetic fragrances and fade gradually, so reapply if you’d like a fresher scent through the day.

Will it leave marks on clothes?
Apply a thin layer and let it absorb for a few seconds to help avoid residue on clothing.

Does it contain nuts?
Yes. It contains almond oil, so avoid it if you have a nut allergy.
