How about putting on a natural deodorant in the morning that also helps your body defend against the stresses of the day?
Our 1.3-oz De-Stress Deodorant contains only natural & organic ingredients – no synthetic fragrance – and features adaptogens, oils, and herbal and flower infusions that offer stress support.
How Does It Stop Body Odor?
Active ingredients in this deodorant that work together to prevent and neutralize odor include:
- Magnesium hydroxide (food grade) – a form of magnesium derived from magnesium-rich mineral, from hydration of magnesium oxide, or from precipitation of seawater; its antimicrobial actions are believed to be responsible for neutralizing human body odor. Magnesium also plays important roles in cardiovascular health, bone health, brain + nervous system health, DNA repair mechanisms, anti-inflammatory defense, and wound healing (see References)
- Bentonite clay (cosmetic grade) – naturally occurring volcanic rock ash that: absorbs moisture; has been shown to help heal dermatitis, rashes, and wounds; has also demonstrated antimicrobial and antiviral activity, showing a 99.99% adsorption rate of bovine coronavirus and a 78.74 - 99.89% adorption rate of bovine rotavirus, as one example (see References)
- Organic arrowroot – a vegetable root that helps absorb water content
Other ingredients that offer supportive deodorizing action include:
- Organic kokum butter – derived from the Garcinia indica evergreen tree; demonstrated to offer antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antidepressant, and anti-anxiolytic benefits (see References)
- Organic jojoba oil – has been shown to exhibit antioxidant, antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and antifungal activity
- Organic beeswax – another natural antimicrobial & anti-inflammatory agent – also valuable in wound healing
Natural Ingredients That Support the Body's Stress Response
This deodorant also features special ingredients that help support your body's stress response (see References), including:
- Ashwaghanda (organic) – a natural adaptogen shown to exhibit anti-stress and anti-anxiety activity, with potential to improve symptoms of depression and insomnia
- Brahmi (organic) – another natural anti-stress adaptogen that has also demonstrated significant improvement of Generalized Anxiety Disorder symptoms
- Arnica flower infusions (organic) – anica contains a compound called helenalin, known to exhibit powerful anti-inflammatory, anti-cancer, and anti-parasitic activity
- Lavender & hops flower infusions (organic) – both lavender and hops have demonstrated significant improvement of stress symptoms
- Indigo (organic) – Indigofera tinctoria has been shown to exhibit free radical scavenging antioxidant activity, anti-epileptic activity, and even anthelmintic (anti-parasitic / specific to worms) activity

How to Apply
Apply to underarms to avoid and/or neutralize odor.
If you are newly transitioning from a different deodorant or from commercial antiperspirants, allow your body chemistry a few weeks to adjust to a different mechanism of preventing and neutralizing underarm odor.
If you are allergy-prone, we advise reading the ingredient list first and doing a small patch-test before using on the whole body.
