Ingredient Breakdown

Skin conditioners: Shea butter, Coconut oil, vegetable glycerin, candelilla wax

These four ingredients help to nourish and condition the skin in order to prevent irritation, flaking skin, rashes and other symptoms of a harsh, ineffective deodorant. Edens Garden deodorant not only makes your pits odor-free and fresh, but also keeps your underarms healthy, happy and looking their very best.

Antiperspirant: Arrowroot powder

Unlike traditional antiperspirants such as baking soda which clog sweat glands, arrowroot powder gently absorbs moisture without clogging glands.

pH balancer: Magnesium hydroxide

A product with too high or too low of a pH can irritate skin. The optimal pH of skincare products matches the pH of sweat, which is 4- 5.5. Magnesium hydroxide helps to balance the pH of our deodorant in order to further prevent skin irritation.

Deodorizers: Alpha-glucan oligosaccharide, sage oil, essential oil synergy blend

Through the use of natural prebiotics and essential oils, each deodorant is superbly capable of eliminating B.O., and replacing it with clean, aromatic freshness all day long. Switching to natural deodorant is no longer a compromise, because the use of innovative prebiotics and bacteria-fighting EOs makes these deos some of the most effective in the industry.

Stabilizers: Triethyl citrate, sodium caproyl/lactylate, vitamin E

To maintain the shelf life of our deodorants, we’ve included triethyl citrate and vitamin E. The use of sodium caproyl/lactylate also ensures that the ingredients do not separate. Combined, these ingredients make our deodorants resilient to the decaying effects of heat, dampness, extreme weather and other environmental factors.
