Primally Pure Vanilla + Citrus Deodorant

This aluminum-free stick uses a blend of grass-fed tallow, naturally mined baking soda, arrowroot powder, and antibacterial essential oils (vanilla, wild orange, and sandalwood) to help neutralize odor, reduce buildup, and support healthier underarm skin while still allowing the body to sweat naturally.

Ingredients:

Organic Arrowroot Powder • Organic Coconut Oil • Baking Soda • Organic Tallow from Grass-Fed Cows • Organic Beeswax • Non-Nano Zinc Oxide • Wildcrafted Orange Oil • Organic Sandalwood Oil • Kaolin Clay • Benzoin Resin Extract • Peru Balsam Resin Oil • Vanilla Fruit Extract • Non-GMO Vitamin E

What I like:

• EWG Skin Deep rating: 1 (low hazard)
• Made with mostly plant- and animal-derived ingredients like tallow, coconut oil, and arrowroot instead of heavy synthetics
• Free from aluminum, artificial fragrance, and parabens per the brand’s ingredient transparency standards
• The vanilla + citrus scent is uplifting if you enjoy scent, and the formula focuses on odor control rather than blocking sweat entirely
• A solid low-tox option with clear ingredient disclosure and fewer unknowns

Things to consider:

• Contains baking soda, which can cause irritation for some people with very sensitive underarms. Patch testing is recommended, especially for reactive skin
• Uses grass-fed tallow, which may not align with a strictly vegan lifestyle

Sensitivity & Pregnancy Considerations:

This formula contains essential oils and baking soda, both of which can be irritating for very sensitive skin. If you are prone to underarm reactions, eczema, or dermatitis, patch test first or consider a baking soda–free option.

Essential oils can carry trace contaminants depending on sourcing and processing. Feather & Nest prioritizes brands that test for purity and work to minimize impurities whenever possible.
