The same set-up is used to bevel the edges and corners to make sure nothing is too sharp for the little ones.

Anti-Bug Balm Stick ~ Organic Insect Repellent
$ 11.99
Visit product page →
Good for the skin, bad for the bug ~ and it really works! Badger's Anti-Bug Balm Stick uses organic citronella, cedar and lemongrass essential oils, which have been used for centuries to naturally repel insects. The base of extra virgin olive and castor oils makes this unique balm both soothing and moisturizing to the skin.
Even better, the smell doesn’t repel people. In fact, when Badgers wear Anti-Bug Balm to summertime events, not only do they not offend, people often ask them what the delightful scent is!
Unlike most other brands on the market, Badger's tried and true formulation contains no DEET, petroleum products, or synthetic chemicals. Also, it's been independently lab tested for efficacy against mosquitoes, with results of 3-4 hours of maximum protection. This means it's safe and effective for the whole family.
Features
- 1.5 oz twist-up stick
- Also available as a liquid Shake & Spray or Anti-Bug Balm tin
- Repels insects naturally with the pleasant aroma of citronella, rosemary, and wintergreen essential oils
- Powerful antioxidants from rosemary essential oil help to prevent cellular damage
- Laboratory tested to repel mosquitoes and stable flies
- No synthetic chemicals, DEET, or petroleum products
- 100% Natural and Certified Organic
- Safe for the whole family
Directions for Use
Apply to entire area of skin to be protected, and remember to reapply frequently for best protection against biting insects. For sensitive skin, apply a small amount of the product to test before full use. This natural mosquito repellent contains a high concentration of natural essential oils, so contact with eyes and broken and/or unhealthy skin should be avoided. While this product is safe to use on children, please keep out of their reach and supervise application.
Where's the USDA Organic Logo?
The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regulates all bug repellents and they only allow products to reference a single federal agency on their labels as they are concerned that consumers will not know who to go to if they have a problem with the product. Badger's Anti-Bug Balm Stick is still certified organic, but they just can't reference the USDA on the labels.

Primal Pit Paste ~ Deodorant Stick (Thyme & Lemongrass)
$ 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.
