Primal Pit Paste ~ Deodorant Stick (Lavender)
$ 10.95
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
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.
