Natural Deodorant (Baking Soda Free)

Our natural deodorant packaging has had a glow-up! ✨ It's still made with the same recipe and packaged in the cardboard tube you love and expect, but with new and improved labels. We'll get our photos updated as soon as we can, but in the meantime, please note that the tube you will receive will have different labels than the ones pictured here.

Have you struggled with the endless search to find a plastic-free, aluminum-free, and baking soda-free deodorant that actually works? Yeah, we did too.

Then we discovered Bai-Li natural deodorant.

In her pre-zero waste days, A Drop in the Ocean's founder +CEO, Krystina, used exclusively clinical-strength deodorant, and refused to sell any deodorant in her shop that didn't meet her standards.

After three years of searching, Bai-Li finally did.

Size

While the label on each cardboard tube of natural deodorant says it contains 2.5oz of deodorant, we compared a full tube to an empty tube and actually found there's about 3oz of deodorant in each tube! The tube itself measures about 3.75" tall by 1.5" wide.

Ingredients

Coconut Oil (organic), Shea Butter (organic), Arrowroot Starch (organic), Magnesium Hydroxide, Candelilla Wax (organic), Essential Oils (organic)*, Jojoba Oil (organic), Shelf-Stable Probiotics

*Unscented does not contain any essential oils

To Use

Remove the top and gently push the bottom of the tube up. Apply desired amount onto clean, dry underarms. Store in a cool location.

Note that if this is your first time using a natural deodorant, it may take some time for your underarm microbiome to balance. Give yourself 2-4 weeks.

One tube should last 1-3 months. On average, with daily use, one tube lasts Krystina 3-4 months.

Packaging + End of Life

This deodorant is packaged in a cardboard tube with a sugarcane label. When you've run out of deodorant, the whole tube can be backyard composted.

🌎 You care about the planet. So do we.

Look. I get it. It’s HARD to be an EcoWarrior. Someone who cares about the planet and wants the most sustainable products available - from the ingredients to the packaging to the way that product gets to your hands.

It seems like everywhere we turn, someone, somewhere, is greenwashing us.

But our superpower at A Drop in the Ocean is sorting through the BS, calling it out, and making sure our products are the absolute most sustainable and truly zero waste products we can find.

So on top of all the things we mentioned above about what makes our natural deodorant so sustainable, here’s a few other things you should know:

• We’re actually practicing what we preach behind the scenes. In 2022, we saved all of our trash for four months, and wrote a whole blog post on it. The tl;dr version is this: in four months, we only produced two pounds of trash. Everything from the packaging our products come in down to the Sharpie we use to write “Fragile” on your box is zero waste to its core.
• We’re an online-only zero waste store - which is highly intentional. It may seem counter-intuitive, but online shopping is actually more sustainable than in-person. I’m a data nerd at heart and I love diving into the research, and there are countless studies that have shown that online shopping is the most sustainable way to get your everyday essentials. Don’t believe me? Check out our whole blog post on the sustainability of online shopping.
• We ship ugly boxes. Your order from A Drop in the Ocean is not going to arrive in a pretty, branded box. It’s gonna show up in a reused tea box, or a donated Amazon box, or maybe even an inside-out Girl Scout Cookies box. All of our shipping materials are always 100% plastic-free and reused as much as possible, with curbside-recyclable paper tape and a post-consumer recycled paper shipping label. It won’t be pretty, but it will be zero waste.

Got more questions about our zero waste products or our practices behind the scenes? Just send us an email! I’m always happy to chat all things eco.
