Little Seed Farm’s Deodorants are super effective. Here’s why.

It’s all in the mix when you’re talking about Little Seed Farm’s non-irritating, super effective deodorants! What do we need them to do? Stop wetness and keep odors down. And feel good and smell great. And not break the bank. Done. Done and done. And here’s how.

No baking soda. Baking soda is alkaline, with a pH of about 9, while your skin is naturally acidic, with a pH of about 4.5–6.5. Baking soda can disrupt your skin's natural pH balance, which can lead to irritation like dryness, redness, itching, and a painful rash. It may not happen all at once, but repeated exposure to baking soda deodorants can leave you feeling almost like you have a burn, if you’re sensitive to them.

Instead of baking soda, Little Seed Farm uses Arrowroot powder mixed with magnesium hydroxide. Very clever. Arrowroot powder is a natural sweat absorbent, perfect for deodorants, It’s really the ingredient that’s keeping you dry. Magnesium hydroxide is a common ingredient in natural deodorants because it can neutralize odor-causing bacteria on the skin's surface without reducing skin moisture. It's also a good option for people with sensitive skin because it's gentler than baking soda, too.

A little addition of plant based Glycerin derived from sunflower, coconut or flaxseed oils help soothe and hydrate your skin while absorbing excess moisture—cause sweat is going to happen! A sprinkle of essential oils and you have our cult favorite deodorant.
