Earth Mama Calming Lavender Deodorant

This stick deodorant is made with sensitive skin in mind, including use during pregnancy and breastfeeding. It features a calming lavender scent and a simple formula free from many common irritants. It’s packaged in an Eco Smart® container designed to break down faster than traditional plastic.

Ingredients:

Cocos nucifera (coconut) oil* • Zea mays (corn) starch* • Euphorbia cerifera (candelilla) wax • Magnesium hydroxide • Cera alba (beeswax)* • Maranta arundinacea (arrowroot) powder* • Tocopherol (vitamin E) • Calendula officinalis flower extract* • Lavandula angustifolia (lavender) flower oil*
(* = organic)

What I like:

• EWG Skin Deep rating: 2 (low hazard)
• Uses simple plant-based oils and powders like coconut oil, arrowroot, and corn starch instead of heavy synthetics
• Free from aluminum, propylene glycol, artificial fragrance, and parabens
• Lavender and calendula support a more soothing, gentle feel rather than an overpowering scent
• Packaged in an Eco Smart container, which aligns with a lower-waste, more mindful approach

Things to consider:

• The lavender scent is noticeable, so those who are highly fragrance-sensitive may still find it too strong
• Contains beeswax, making it unsuitable for a strictly vegan lifestyle
• This is a deodorant, not an antiperspirant. It helps neutralize odor but does not stop sweat

Sensitivity & Pregnancy Considerations:

This formula is generally well tolerated by sensitive skin, but it does contain lavender essential oil. If you are prone to fragrance sensitivity, eczema, or underarm irritation, patch testing is recommended.

Essential oils can carry trace contaminants depending on sourcing and processing. Feather & Nest prioritizes brands that emphasize ingredient transparency and purity whenever possible.
