The natural deodorant
you loved, Reworked.
One scent. A more refined formula. The same commitment to keeping you fresh.
After years of making my original deodorant in small batches — and hearing from customers who absolutely loved it — I knew changing it would be a little scary.
But I also knew I could make it better.
Why change something that already worked?
Honestly? This wasn't an easy decision.
My original natural deodorant had some wonderfully loyal customers. People who had been using it for years. People who bought it again and again. When I announced that I was going back to the drawing board, some of them were genuinely worried that their favourite deodorant might disappear.
​
And I understood why.
It worked.
​
But behind the scenes, I was finding it increasingly difficult to make it in a way that made sense for a small, growing business.The original deodorant came in six different scents. One month the citrus would fly off the shelves while the spice barely moved. Then suddenly the sales would reverse. Different shops had completely different favourites, and I was constantly trying to predict what to make next.
​
As a mum of two young children, my time is precious. Making six different versions in small batches meant more time spent producing, cleaning, labelling and managing stock — and smaller batches also meant I couldn't always achieve the consistency I wanted from one batch to the next.
​
So I made a decision:
One beautiful formula.
One beautiful scent.
Bigger, more efficient batches.
​
But there was another reason I wanted to start again.
Over the years, I've continued studying natural ingredients, and I'm now completing my Diploma in Natural Cosmetic Formulation with Formula Botanica. I've learned so much since I first created the original deodorant.I now understand ingredients differently. I understand formulation techniques differently. I know more about creating a formula that feels beautiful on the skin, works effectively, is gentler, and uses essential oils thoughtfully and within appropriate limits.
So I started asking myself:
What if I could take everything people already loved about the original... and make it even better?
That's what this new formula is about.
Not replacing something that didn't work.
Refining something that did.
So, what's actually different?
🌿
More refined
A carefully balanced combination of oils, butters, waxes, starches, clays and functional ingredients, including some powerful NZ native extracts
✨
Improved skin feel
A lighter, more comfortable skin feel was one of the things I specifically wanted to improve. This formula is creamier to apply and less greasy with a reduced wax content
🌸
Thoughtfully scented
A single signature scent, formulated with careful attention to essential oil usage.
Balanced for sensitive skin and designed to be unisex and not overpowering
💪
Made to work
The goal wasn't simply to make a natural deodorant. It was to make one that genuinely performs, without relying on fragrances or aluminum antiperspirant salts
You asked me not to change it
I haven't forgotten the people who loved the original.
