It is essential that PitROK is applied to freshly cleaned skin, therefore always use immediately after your bath or shower. Apply to underarms or feet. Do not apply to broken skin. A 45g jar lasts two months, so it's reasonable value for money, plus the availability of mini sizes is useful so you can try it before committing to a bigger size. The base ingredients include tapioca starch for moisture absorption and sodium bicarbonate for odour control. It also contains a range of natural fragrances including patchouli oil. There are several scents to choose from.
As your hands should be clean, this might not be so practical with a deodorant you want to take on the go. However, these particular salts only have a deodorising effect, and sit on the skin, whereas aluminium chlorohydrate and aluminium zirconium are antiperspirant ingredients that plug pores to prevent sweating. There's a range of unisex scents available, largely based on essential oils such as peppermint, citrus, rosemary and bergamot, as well as gender-specific options.Some might react to the bicarbonate of soda. One user told us: 'My girlfriend said it was really good, but it irritated her skin after a few months due to the bicarbonate of soda in the ingredients.' Another user told us they found it effective, and that the initial itchiness from the bicarb settled down after a few months. So you might need to give it a trial to see if it works for you. Dr Olioso says: 'I suspect this is more a case of people becoming more aware of and getting used to their own smell and how much they sweat - things they may have become dissociated from because of many years of using conventional products.' Subscription deodorant might seem a bit unusual, but you can pause, edit or cancel the subscription at any time, and adjust deliveries or swap scents to suit you. It told us: 'Some people have questioned whether aluminium in some deodorants and antiperspirants can affect cancer risk. But the scientific evidence doesn't currently support a link, so we don't want people to worry.' One day in my regular supermarket while browsing the products I stumbled across something I hadn’t seen before. A deodorant called PitRok.
PitRok Crystal Natural Spray Deodorant gives the power of PitRok crystal in a natural spray. It is an effective spray deodorant which is kind to your skin and provides day-long protection. It works by suppressing bacterial growth - the cause of body odour. I had been bought a Lush deodorant bar a long time ago. I found it sludgy and awkward, with a strong smell as if you’d just walked into a hippy shop – it just felt like a step too far! It sat in our bathroom cupboard unloved for a long time before the stench made us bin it. In hindsight my experience put me off the idea of natural deodorants a little and I didn’t do much further investigation. Key ingredients include magnesium oxide and bicarbonate of soda (except in the Gentle range) to help prevent odours, as well as arrowroot for the sweat and shea butter to moisturise. Ingredients: Aqua (Water), Ammonium Alum, Aloe barbadensis leaf juice, Hydroxyethylcellulose, Citrus grandis (grapefruit) seed extract, 2-bromo-2-nitropropane-1, 3-diol, Phenoxyethanol, Polysorbate 20, Potassium sorbate, Sodium benzoate, Parfum, Limonene, Linalool, Citronellol, Alpha-isomethyl iononeOur top selling product. A sensitive skin deodorant based on pure natural mineral salts that provides day-long protection without causing irritation. The company says its products are 100% natural, free from preservatives, alcohol, artificial fragrance and palm oil, and are registered with The Vegan Society. Some people might still prefer to opt for aluminium-free products, and if you're keen on plastic-free deodorant you might not have any choice, as most are aluminium-free. We've rounded up the key players, costs, eco and ethical claims, and some insights from users to help you decide. Users of Fit Pit in the office had mixed opinions on it. Some told us it was 'effective and long lasting' but 'can be a bit messy to apply'.
Similar to the Natural Deo Co offering, it contains bicarbonate of soda and arrowroot to help prevent odours by altering the skin's natural pH.

PitRok is based on pure natural mineral salts that provides day-long protection without causing underarm irritation. Vegan and Cruelty Free and always has been since it first went on sale in 1995. Nuud says one application is effective for between three and seven days. The active ingredients include antibacterial microsilver, which neutralises bacteria.
Either use this refill crystal to replenish your PitROK original holder or use it 'naked' as a deodorant. None are true antiperspirants, so you will have to make your peace with a certain level of wetness. This fragrance-free vegan deodorant (or 'anti-odorant' as it calls itself) comes in the form of a tube of cream that you apply to the underarms by hand. Salt of the Earth says a 1-litre spray refill uses 70% less plastic than buying 10 individual 100ml sprays. This product is a crystal made from potassium alum - a natural mineral salt - and sits on the surface of the skin in a microscopic layer, where it kills bacteria. Ammonium alum is another one you'll commonly find in this type of product.For example, crystal products such as Salt Of The Earth contain potassium alum, and PitRok is made from ammonium alum - both aluminium salts. The deodorant is applied using your fingers, although you can also buy a small bamboo spatula (50p) to get it out of the jar. If you're choosing to avoid aluminium out of personal choice, bear in mind that some natural deodorants that use 'natural mineral salts' still technically contain it. Ingredients: Aqua (Water), Ammonium Alum, Aloe barbadensis leaf juice, Citrus grandis (grapefruit) seed extract, Glycerin, 2-bromo-2-nitropropane-1, 3-diol, Phenoxyethanol, Potassium sorbate, Sodium benzoate, Limonene* A gentle but effective deodorant based on pure natural mineral salts that provides day-long protection against body odour without causing underarm itching and skin irritation.
