Initially, we made our own deodorant paste, concocted from Baking Soda, Shea Butter, Coconut Oil, Beeswax, Arrowroot Powder, and Essential Oils.  We jammed it into used deodorant tubes and went to town.  I actually switched to chemical-free deodorant the week that we moved apartments in the middle of a hot July (which might be the best test of a non-antiperspirant deodorant) and haven’t looked back.

“So why promote a commercially made deodorant if you made your own…?” you may ask.

Primal Pit Paste follows the same methods of making deodorant as we did – with, you guessed it, Non-Aluminum Baking Soda, Organic Shea Butter, Organic Coconut Oil, Organic Beeswax, Organic Arrowroot Powder, and Essential Oils as their ingredients.  They just happen to be much better at making deodorant than either of us ever could be.

Plus, their scents are relatively unisex and Nicki and I have been known to share sticks in a pinch or when traveling.  Lately, I have been using the unscented, but have used many of the varieties made by P3. They make a stick version and a tub version (apply it with your fingertips), as well as other body care products.

You can find Primal Pit Paste products on Amazon, Thrive Marketplace, on the Primal Pit Paste Website, and at many retailers and grocery stores like Whole Foods.
