Probiotic Deodorant Bar

This is the natural deodorant that actually works — even on the sweatiest missions. Whether you're tramping deep in the New Zealand bush, chasing kids on the skifield, tackling hard days on the job site, or getting sweaty at the gym, this probiotic deodorant bar delivers serious results.

Back to the Wild’s deodorant bars are zero-waste and come wrapped in organic cotton. They’re easy to use: simply peel back the cotton from the top, rub the exposed end like a stick deodorant, and hold the rest with the fabric wrap. Once finished, compost the wrap — no plastic waste, no nasties.

Formulated with shelf-stable probiotics for extra odor-fighting power, these bars are tougher than most natural options and ideal for those wanting to ditch chemical deodorants without sacrificing performance. The formula is gentle enough for pre-teens starting out with deodorant and a great low-tox choice for the whole family.

Choose from regular or sensitive skin options, and from a variety of essential oil blends — all naturally antibacterial, antifungal, and mood-lifting. Some love baking soda for its strength; others prefer the gentler sensitive version. Either way, you’ll be protected and fresh, naturally.

Made from natural butters & oils that are naturally antibacterial, antifungal, antimicrobial, and antiseptic. The 100% pure essential oils, not only help with reducing smell & bad bacteria, they also work to help your mood & immune system! Studies have shown:

• Lavender & peppermint are great for stress reduction.
• Lemon is has been shown to help support your immune system, and wake you up + clarify your mind!
• Lemon Eucalyptus also helps provide immune support, and refresh the mind.
• Cedarwood has a grounding & calming effect. 

55gm in size.

Note: All bars are hand-poured and hand-cut, so expect slight variations in shape. We guarantee each bar is at least the stated weight.

Regular: Organic Cocoa Butter, Organic Virgin Coconut Oil, Organic Shea Butter, Organic Unrefined NZ Beeswax, Olive Oil, Sodium Bicarbonate (Bicarbonate Soda) (Not included in sensitive), Tapioca Flour, Shelf Stable Probiotics, Melaleuca Alternifolia (Tea Tree) Oil (Not included in unscented). Each scent also has 100% pure essential oils of that scent.

To use, simply peel back the organic cotton wrap from the top of the deodorant bar and rub the exposed end directly onto clean, dry underarms - just like a regular stick deodorant. Use the cotton wrap to hold the bottom of the bar, keeping your hands clean and your bar tidy.

Apply sparingly - a little goes a long way. One swipe per underarm is usually enough for all-day protection, even on sweaty adventures.

Store out of direct sunlight. These bars will soften slightly in warm weather but remain solid and easy to use if kept cool and dry.

Once your bar is finished, the organic cotton wrap can be popped into your home compost bin. Fully natural, zero waste, and kind to your skin and the planet.

For those who prefer a baking soda free version, we also have a 'sensitive skin' option.
Refreshing Citrus Eucalyptus only comes with baking soda, and Unscented Essential Oil free only comes in the Sensitive skin option.

Some people prefer baking soda as they find it to be stronger, and others find the baking soda irritates their armpits. Choose the option better suited to your needs.
