The OG of Natural Freshness: Meet the Classic Deodorant Crystal! 🌿💎

Some things just stand the test of time. A cup of tea on a rainy day. A favourite pair of well-loved jeans. The satisfaction of popping bubble wrap (don’t pretend you don’t love it). And when it comes to natural deodorants, nothing beats the Classic Deodorant Crystal—the

original, the legend, the one that started it all. 🎉

Long before ‘natural deodorant’ was a thing, back in 1993, we introduced this simple yet effective deodorant to the world. And guess what? It’s still one of our best-sellers today! That’s three decades of keeping pits fresh, naturally.

So, what makes it so special? Let’s dive in.

A Deodorant That’s Truly Timeless

💎 100% Natural Mineral Salt – Made from pure potassium alum, a natural mineral salt that helps control body odour by forming an invisible salt layer on the skin, creating an environment where odour-causing bacteria struggle to thrive.

💎 Unscented – Perfect for those who prefer a fragrance-free option.

Crafted from pure mineral salt, it remains a simple and effective option for modern skincare.

💎 Long-Lasting & Cost-Effective – A single crystal can last for months (sometimes even a year or more!). That’s not just good for your wallet—it helps cut down on packaging waste, too. 🌍

💎 No White Marks, No Sticky Residue – Unlike many deodorants, the crystal doesn’t leave any residue or stain your clothes (goodbye, white streaks on black tops!). It sits on the surface of the skin rather than forming a barrier, allowing your body to sweat naturally—just without the odour.

How to Use the Classic Deodorant Crystal

If you’re new to crystal deodorants, using one is super easy:

1️⃣ Wet the crystal with a little water.
2️⃣ Apply directly to clean, dry skin, covering the underarm area thoroughly.
3️⃣ Let it dry, and you’re good to go!

It works by leaving an invisible layer of mineral salt that helps prevent odour from developing. For best results, apply to freshly washed skin.

Why People Still Love It

Despite the rise of scented deodorants and high-tech formulas, this simple, natural product continues to be a fan favourite. Why? Because it just works—without unnecessary extras.

🌱 Plastic-free version available – Our crystal deodorant is available in a plastic-free option, helping to reduce waste.

🌱 Travel-friendly – No risk of leakage in your bag, and because it’s solid, you can take it in your hand luggage without any problems.

🌱 Unisex & Suitable for kids 6+ – Whether you’re a teen just starting out with deodorant or someone looking for a natural alternative.

A Classic for a Reason

It’s no surprise that the Classic Deodorant Crystal has been a go-to for natural freshness for over 30 years. It’s simple, effective, and has stood the test of time—a true deodorant icon!

So, if you haven’t tried it yet, what are you waiting for? Your pits deserve a classic. 😉
