Citrus Tea Natural Deodorant

The Citrus Tea essential oil blend is a powerful, fragrant, and invigorating treat for the nose. Citrus, herbal, and tea tree essential oils are blended together, with the notes of orange, lavender, and tea tree shining through. Each essential oil plays a beneficial component in the blend, in addition to their wonderful scents. For example, orange and tea tree essential oils are both antimicrobial, which means they actually help fight odors by preventing bacterial growth! Citrus Tea is refreshing, bright, and a wonderful pick-me-up first thing in the morning or any time of day.

Contains 3.0 - 3.2 ounces of natural deodorant. Comes in a plastic twist-up tube for easy application.

When our teenage children first started using personal care products, we searched for a natural deodorant but couldn’t find any deodorants on the market that weren’t stacked full of nasty chemicals.

Knowing that ingredients like aluminum, parabens, and sulfates have been linked to everything from skin irritation to hormone disruption, we just didn’t want our children rolling these chemicals under their arms.

So we got to work creating our own. Once we’d perfected the deodorant for our use, we created the Natural Deodorant line with you in mind!

Our Natural Deodorant contains:

• NO aluminum
• NO petroleum-based chemicals
• NO parabens or phthalates
• JUST Simple, natural ingredients

Natural Deodorant is not an antiperspirant, which means it doesn’t clog your pores to stop your body’s natural process of sweating. The process of clogging pores is often created by unhealthy chemicals like aluminum. Instead, our natural deodorant works to minimize odors caused by sweat. So if you have a big day of sports or outdoor work in the hot sun, we recommend you reapply after a few hours to keep that fresh scent.

The Citrus Tea Natural Deodorant will prevent embarrassing odor without the use of unsafe and unhealthy chemical ingredients.

Coconut Oil
Coconut oil is a natural moisturizer that can make your skin feel soft and smooth. Coconut oil has antimicrobial properties, antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties that can help treat skin conditions like acne, eczema, and psoriasis. Coconut oil has a small amount of natural SPF, so it can provide some minor sun protection for your skin. Coconut oil contains vitamin E, which can help even out your skin tone and reduce dark spots.

Arrowroot Powder
Arrowroot Powder acts as a natural drying agent because it is highly absorptive. Bacteria that cause body odor thrive in damp environments, so arrowroot helps fight body odor because it absorbs sweat and moisture. It also contains many beneficial minerals and vitamins such as zinc, iron, potassium, and Vitamin B6. It is very gentle on skin and can soothe skin irritations originating from rashes, acne, or skin sores.

Baking Soda
Baking soda acts as a natural drying agent because it is highly absorptive. Bacteria that cause body odor thrive in damp environments, so it helps fight body odor because it absorbs sweat and moisture. It is also a deodorizing agent that neutralizes the acidic compounds in sweat thereby preventing the growth and proliferation of odor-causing bacteria. It also reduces wetness and discomfort because it absorbs sweat and excess moisture.

Beeswax
Beeswax contains natural emulsifiers, which help to seal in moisture and protect the skin from dryness, making it an excellent natural moisturizer for chapped lips and dry skin. It has natural antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties, which can help to soothe irritated skin and promote healing. Plus, natural beeswax is non-comedogenic, meaning it won't clog pores or cause breakouts, making it ideal for use in skincare products.

Shea Butter
Shea butter is packed with fatty acids that help hydrate, nourish, and keep your skin soft. It helps balance sebum production which prevents the build-up of oil on your skin. It contains cinnamic acid, which has anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial properties that can help to promote healing and prevent infection. It is rich in vitamins A and E, which can help improve skin elasticity and reduce fine lines and wrinkles. It also contains antioxidants which help to protect skin from damage caused by free radicals and oxidative stress.

Dehydrated Goat Milk
When making lotions, lip balms, and deodorants, it’s not safe to use liquid goat milk because bacteria could grow in the liquid environment. So we source dehydrated goat milk from a reputable supplier for the safety of these items.

Orange Essential Oil
Orange essential oil is believed to be anti-inflammatory, antiseptic, and an aid in the digestion process. It has also been suggested that it can help make your skin smooth and healthy, whiten your teeth, relax muscles, deliver antioxidants (which support your immune system), and flush toxins out of your body. One verified positive effect of orange essential oil is that it can act as an antidepressant as well as an anxiolytic, which means it helps to inhibit anxiety. Simply smelling the orange aroma will likely serve to improve your mood.

Lavender Essential Oil
Lavender is an adaptoge that contains a 'normalizing effect' which counteracts stressors. As such, it may help with difficulty sleeping, anxiety, stress, nervous tension, emotional stress,  mild cases of depression, and tension headaches. It’s antiseptic and antifungal properties may help alleviate acne, psoriasis, skin inflammations, and even wrinkles. It can help keep mosquitoes away and some have even used it in the treatment of head lice and nits.

Tea Tree Essential Oil
Tea Tree essential oil contains compounds with powerful antibacterial, antifungal and anti-inflammatory properties. Studies show it may be as effective as benzoyl peroxide, a common acne medication, in treating acne. Its antifungal properties can disrupt the growth of fungal spores, paving the way for healthy skin and nails free of fungal infections. Tea tree oil can soothe itchy scalp and help relieve dandruff. Its antibacterial properties can prevent infection, while its anti-inflammatory action can reduce redness and swelling in cuts, scrapes, and burns.

1. Dab the deodorant onto your armpit. If you swipe or rub the deodorant, you will most likely use too much.
