Add in some organic extra-virgin coconut oil and organic extra-virgin olive oil. So it's extremely rich, sinking deep into the skin and staying there.

Maybe it's the organic sweet orange oil, or perhaps the pure organic beeswax and shea butter… Whatever the secret, this fresh squeezed sweet orange lip balm is better than anyone ever imagined. It’s true moisture that doesn’t leave you high and dry.
House Blend’s sweet tasting puckering perfection goes on oh-so smooth, and smells just like pure organic Florida oranges. The icing on the cake? All the fixins are derived from mother nature and safe for even the littlest of smoochers.

Primal Pit Paste ~ Deodorant Stick (Lavender)
$ 10.95
Visit product page →
The best thing about organic Primal Pit Paste deodorant is it actually works! Baking soda kills the bacteria that causes odor, and organic arrowroot powder helps you to feel dry while allowing you to still sweat and release toxins. These powders are mixed in a base of moisture rich and anti-microbial organic coconut oil and organic shea butter to soothe skin, along with organic beeswax to create stability.
Features
- Convenient 2 oz roll-on stick
- Testimonial ~ "This is the only deodorant I have ever found that allows me to wear a shirt more than one day in a row in the hot, hot Phoenix summer. I'm excited each day to use this fantastic product, thank you!" ~ Ann-Marie
- Handcrafted to ensure that every stick only contains only the finest organic products. NO aluminum, parabens, toxic chemicals, fragrances, corn, gluten, GMOs
Details
All Go Primal products are handcrafted from organic and natural ingredients. In fact, they're so natural you could eat the stuff (but we suggest rubbing it on your smelly pits, not your morning toast). While Pit Paste is not an antiperspirant, you wouldn't know it since it keeps you pretty dry.
That said, it's important to sweat and release toxins. Most deodorants and antiperspirants not only keep the toxins in by preventing you from sweating, they're also designed to absorb into the skin. And what are you absorbing? Oftentimes it's aluminum and parabens, just a few of the harmful chemicals linked to hormone disruption and cancer.
Application
- Hold the open stick directly on your pit for a few seconds to allow your natutral body heat to soften up the paste. This ensures a smoother, more consistent application. 2 or 3 swipes with the stick on each pit should work great.
- Because the organic nature of coconut oil is to melt at certain temperatures it can become liquid when exposed to extreme heat. All it takes is a quick pop in the fridge or freezer to firm back up to paste consistency to remain that way in your bathroom cabinet.
- Best if used within 12 months after opening.
Converting to Natural
While some people may have detox reactions or a sensitivity to baking soda, we believe most people can work through it. Here are some quick tips:
- Irritation ~ Baking soda can be a skin irritant to some, and while most people can work through it everyone’s body chemistry is different. If it's just not working out for you, or in case of severe reaction, discontinue use.
- Shaving ~ Usually if burning occurs it's associated with the salt-like nature of baking soda. Our suggestion is to shave at night and apply Pit Paste in the morning. It can eventually go away as your body acclimates to the pH balancing as you wean off traditional antiperspirants and deodorants.
- Pit Detox ~ After years of wearing conventional chemical and aluminum-laden deodorants, it's possible to need to detox your pits from toxic build-up. Tips: lightly dry brush your pits in the shower, sweat, and clean up your diet (after all, what goes in must come out!). For more information, here's a detailed blog with all you need to know.
