Pit Putty (natural ‘stink-proof’ Deodorants!)

Pit Putty was founded by friends, after finding a fellow friend had breast cancer, and had been told that using natural toiletries was beneficial. In fragrance-free or natural scents, these are sold in cardboard tubes or tins, made from shea butter, coconut oil, baking soda, plant waxes and oils, with arrowroot powder.

These were invented in Australia, being ‘stink-tested’ to ensure they work in many temperatures and situations! The mild alkaline reacts with acid from bacteria, to stop body odour in its tracks.

Choose unscented deodorants for pregnancy/nursing and affected medical conditions. Avoid shea butter for latex allergies. 

How to Prevent Body Odour

• A daily shower makes it harder for bacteria to flourish.
• Wear loose breathable fabrics like cotton, linen or bamboo.
• Drink plenty of water, to flush out toxins.
• Eat a balanced diet (go easy on foods that trigger strong body odours like spicy meals, garlic and onions).
