Deodorant Balm

The day's quiet companion.

Freshness needn't mean blocking sweat. Odour can be limited, and the skin left in peace.

The ingredients

Plum kernel oil

  1. The same kernel that opens the night serum. Here as an emollient, at a lower dose than in the serum.
  2. Cold-pressed, rich in oleic acid and natural tocopherols. It spreads thin, with no greasy film.

Zinc ricinoleate

  1. Paired with triethyl citrate: that one limits odour formation at the source; this one binds odour molecules.
  2. A pale, waxy zinc salt of the fatty acid from castor oil, dispersed in hot oil. No blocking of sweat.

Shea butter

  1. The largest share of the jar. It holds the balm in shape and melts on contact with the skin.
  2. From the nuts of the shea tree. Set in the jar, it softens under the fingers like warm velvet.

Cupuaçu butter

  1. A cousin of cocoa, from the Amazon basin. It softens in warm hands, so the balm spreads without resistance.
  2. From the seeds of a fruit with a hard, brown shell. Pale and soft, with a light slip under the fingers.

Squalane

  1. The largest of the balm's liquid parts, from olives. It gives the balm its silky slip in your hand.
  2. Clear and odourless, light to the touch. It glides over the skin with no greasy film.

Tapioca starch

  1. Starch from the cassava root. It absorbs moisture physically and gives a dry, matte finish.
  2. Fine, white and soft as powder. With rice starch, it dries down to matte on the skin.

Colloidal oatmeal

  1. Oats milled into a silk-fine flour. It soothes underarm skin, including after shaving: cumulatively.
  2. A pale, soft powder that also absorbs moisture physically, along with the starches.

Fireweed

  1. The pink flower of clearings and roadsides, the first to return after a fire. Here as an oil macerate.
  2. We macerate the leaves in oil at the atelier. It is here as a plant, not as a promise.

Sage

  1. An old plant of herb gardens, with soft, silvery leaves. No promise of effect.
  2. We macerate the dried leaves in oil at the atelier, just like the fireweed.

The evidence

We don't mask. We limit and bind.

We talk about how it works and what soothes the skin, and for each we show how strong the evidence is.

is the strongest evidence, the weakest. We skip : nothing here rests on it.

  1. Colloidal oatmeal soothes underarm skin, including after shaving (cumulative effect).

  2. Two complementary mechanisms instead of masking: triethyl citrate limits odour formation at the source, zinc ricinoleate binds odour molecules; no aluminium salts, no blocking of sweat.

  3. Hours

    We don't quote hours of protection, 24 or 48, because we haven't measured them in a test of our own.
