Primally Pure Charcoal Deodorant
This aluminum-free deodorant features activated charcoal, grass-fed tallow, and essential oils to help neutralize odor and purify under-arm skin — all while avoiding synthetic fragrances, aluminum, and many of the usual suspects in conventional antiperspirants.
Ingredients:
Organic Arrowroot Powder • Organic & Fair-Trade Coconut Oil • Baking Soda • Organic Tallow (from Grass-Fed Cows) • Organic Beeswax • Non-nano Zinc Oxide • Kaolin Clay • Activated Charcoal • Essential Oils of Organic Eucalyptus & Organic Peppermint • Organic Rosemary Extract • Non-GMO Vitamin E
What I like:
Uses a simple, thoughtful base of plant- and animal-derived ingredients (arrowroot, coconut oil, tallow) instead of heavy synthetics.
Activated charcoal and kaolin clay help control odor and detoxify build-up rather than just masking it.
Free from aluminum, artificial fragrance blends, and common “hidden” toxins that I’m avoiding in my low-tox approach.
The scent is fresh (eucalyptus + peppermint), which feels clean and uplifting — if you don’t mind a light aroma.
Good option for someone shifting toward safer deodorant picks under the Feather & Nest criteria.
Things to keep in mind:
Contains baking soda (in the original version), which can be irritating for ultra-sensitive underarms, so a patch test is wise.
Includes tallow (animal-derived fat) — great for some skin types, but worth noting for vegan readers.
Even though it avoids aluminum and many common toxins, natural deodorant transitions can take time and may perform differently depending on your sweat/odor level.
