Axilla™ Natural Deodorant Paste Original - Plastic Free - 60g

Your armpits work hard every day, regulating body temperature and expelling toxins through sweat. It's time to give them the care they deserve with a natural deodorant that truly works.

Our potent formula is suitable for everyone - women, men, non-binary folks, and teenagers. It’s safe for the whole family, thanks to pure essential oils and botanical extracts. These natural ingredients effectively combat odours while being gentle on your body and keeping you fresh without harm.

Applying our deodorant paste is just like moisturising your armpits. Grab a pea sized amount with your finger and gently rub it into your armpits until it warms and dissolves. Simple! A little goes a long way. Don’t rub too hard or apply too much, apply directly after shaving.

Extra bits:

• Keep your Axilla out of direct sunlight.
• We suggest not putting Axilla Deodorant Paste™ on right after shaving. Because shaving creates hundreds of tiny cuts to your skin your armpits become highly sensitive – especially to Sodium Bicarbonate, which we use to neutralise odour. So if you can, wait a day or shave at night so your little pits have time to heal. 
• As this is handmade, consistencies across batches may vary. Products may melt or harden due to weather conditions and appear grainy in texture - this is perfectly normal and won't affect performance. Once melted pop in the refrigerator to harden again.

What is Axilla™ Natural Deodorant Paste?
Axilla™ Deodorant Paste is a natural, aluminium-free deodorant that works to neutralise odour and absorb moisture without blocking sweat glands. It’s applied by hand and is loved for its long-lasting protection and skin-friendly ingredients.

How do I use Axilla™ Natural Deodorant Paste?
Scoop a pea-sized amount using clean, dry fingers or an applicator and gently massage it into your underarms until fully absorbed.

What’s the difference between Axilla™ Original and Axilla™ Barrier Booster?
Axilla™ Original contains natural bicarb soda and is ideal for most skin types. Axilla™ Barrier Booster is bicarb-free and designed specifically for sensitive skin.

Can I use Axilla™ Natural Deodorant Paste after shaving?
Yes, you can. However, if your skin is freshly shaved or sensitive, we recommend using the Barrier Booster formula, which is gentler and free from bicarb. Shaving creates microcuts so the Original can cause some discomfort if applied directly after shaving.

Is Axilla™ Natural Deodorant Paste safe during pregnancy or breastfeeding?
Yes, it’s safe to use during pregnancy and breastfeeding. The natural ingredients are non-toxic and the essential oils used are in safe concentrations. We recommend a patch test, as skin can be more sensitive during this time.

Is Axilla™ Natural Deodorant Paste suitable for sensitive skin?
Yes. If you have sensitive or reactive skin, Axilla™ Deodorant Paste Barrier Booster is the best choice as it is bicarb-free and contains soothing, barrier-supporting ingredients.

How long does a jar of Axilla™ Deodorant Paste last?
A 75g jar typically lasts 2–3 months with daily use. Our concentrated formula means a small amount is all you need.

Will it leave marks on my clothes?
When applied correctly and given a moment to absorb before dressing, Axilla™ Paste should not leave marks. Apply sparingly to avoid residue and allow it to fully absorb before putting on clothing.

Does Axilla™ Deodorant Paste stop sweating?
No. It allows your body to sweat naturally while neutralising odour and absorbing moisture. Sweating is a healthy and essential bodily function.

Is there a detox period when switching to natural deodorant?
Some people experience a short adjustment period as the body releases built-up toxins. This can include increased odour or wetness for a few days but usually settles quickly. We recommend pairing it with our Detox My Pits – Armpit Detox Mask.

Can Axilla™ Deodorant Paste be used on other areas of the body?
Yes, some customers use it on areas prone to body odour or chafing (e.g., feet, under-bust). Always patch test on delicate areas first.

Is Axilla™ Deodorant Paste vegan and cruelty-free?
Yes, all Axilla™ formulas are 100% vegan, cruelty-free, and made in Australia with natural, ethically sourced ingredients.

Do you offer a travel size?
Yes, Axilla™ Original and Barrier Booster are available in mini sizes — perfect for travel, trial, or keeping in your gym bag.

What is the difference between Original Signature and Barrier Booster Signature?
The key difference between Axilla™ Deodorant Paste Signature and our other formulas (Original and Barrier Booster) is the essential oil blend.

They all use the same effective base formula to neutralise odour and absorb moisture — the difference lies in the scent and skin compatibility:

– Signature features a luxurious blend of essential oils including ylang ylang and sandalwood, designed to promote feelings of sensuality, calm, and intuition. It shares the same scent as our Love Your Body Oil, Love Your Body Polish, Signature Essential Oil Blend, and Essential Oil Perfume #1 – Transcendence. This is paired with either the Original or Barrier Booster base formula.

– Original includes a clean, unisex essential oil blend and contains bicarb soda, making it ideal for most skin types.

– Barrier Booster is bicarb-free and infused with soothing ingredients like chamomile and zinc oxide, making it the best choice for sensitive skin.

All formulas are 100% natural, vegan, cruelty-free, and deliver long-lasting freshness — your choice simply depends on your scent preference and skin’s sensitivity.
