For the past few months I've been slowly crafting two new formulations here in the hinterland: a rich castor oil and tallow face cream, and our very first face oil, both slow infused with blue lotus flowers and rose petals.
Organic Tallow Deodorant Paste
Discover a natural, non-toxic deodorant that truly works. Our organic tallow deodorant paste is crafted with two gentle options: a bicarb base for maximum freshness and a diatomaceous earth base designed for those with sensitive skin. Each blend is enriched with medicinal botanicals such as calendula and lavender, renowned for their soothing and skin-loving benefits. The refreshing scent of lemon myrtle essential oil naturally combats underarm odour while keeping you feeling fresh all day.
Unlike conventional deodorants filled with synthetics, our formula is 100% organic, toxin-free, and skin-kind, making it a healthier choice for both your body and the earth.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why choose a tallow-based deodorant?
Conventional deodorants often rely on aluminium compounds and synthetic fragrance to block sweat and mask odour. Ours works with the skin instead, using tallow's natural compatibility with your body's own oils alongside gentle, odour-neutralising botanicals, so you're not applying something your skin has to fight against every day.
Is this deodorant free from aluminium?
Yes, both blends are completely aluminium-free.
What's the difference between the two options?
The Lemon Myrtle blend uses a bi-carb base for maximum freshness. The Frangipani, Eucalyptus and Mandarine blend swaps bi-carb for diatomaceous earth, a gentler option for anyone whose skin is sensitive to bi-carb.
I've reacted to natural deodorants before. Will this be different?
Sensitivity to bi-carb is common and nothing to feel discouraged about. That's exactly why we created the bi-carb-free option. If your skin tends to react, start there.
Will it stop me sweating?
No, and that's intentional. Sweating is a normal, healthy function. This deodorant works by supporting the skin's own balance and reducing odour-causing bacteria, not by blocking a natural process.
Is it safe to use every day?
Yes. It's made the same way as everything else we make, with organic, recognisable ingredients and nothing your body has to process or override.
