Three compostable tubes of Citrus Grove Natural Deodorant, one with the cap off, on a warm cream background

How to Use

① Twist cap to break the compostable safety seal. Push the deodorant up slowly from the bottom.
② Apply a thin layer to clean underarms before dressing. Rub in if needed to minimize transfer.
③ Store at room temperature. In hot climates, product may soften—this is normal. A little goes a long way!

Note: Natural deodorant isn’t an antiperspirant. If you’re switching from one, allow a few days to adjust. We recommend pairing with our Charcoal Bar Soap to support your transition.

Handy Tips + Tricks

Apply, Then Dress

For best results, apply to clean, dry underarms before getting dressed. Move your arms like you're mid-sprint to help it melt in—no hands required.

No Stains, No Stress

Our deodorant won’t stain clothes, but buildup can happen (especially on synthetics). A quick pre-wash with dish soap takes care of it easily.

Earthy and Refreshing

During my self-care journey, I've tried numerous deodorants and decided to make the switch to something natural. I admire the earthy scent and how refreshing it is. I enjoy the quality and natural ingredients. I appreciate the team for creating a safe self-care product.

Simple, effective, and smells nice.

I’m normally an unscented kind of gal, but I love the forest scent of this deodorant. Want a traveling hack (which is also great when you’re starting to run low on this deodorant stick)? Cut the bottom (empty) portion off the cylinder (a serrated bread knife work great). Voila… a cute little mini stick!

Best natural deodorant I've tried!

I stumbled upon this brand in a little shop in Bend, thought it looked cute and smelled nice! I got the Orange one first! Turned out to be my new fave deodorant, when I've tried so many and they fail after a while. This one lasts! I finally got around to googling the brand to order more, and one for my bf!

Highly recommend if you’re searching for a natural deodorant

Natural deodorants are a tough path to go down, but this deodorant makes it all worth it! It makes me smell good, so I don’t have to worry about walking around with a stench. I love the forest and the citrus scents. I highly recommend! Plus it’s a great company — personable and friendly owners, great eco standards, and quality products!

Truly works.

It took a few weeks for my body to get used to the switch. I’ve now been using this deodorant for a few months and it’s been amazing! The scent is pleasing but not overwhelming and the skin on my underarms is so smooth!

Unscented Solid Dish Soap is our most minimalist, skin-loving formula—crafted without fragrance, dyes, or unnecessary fillers.
