Lemon Basil Tallow Deodorant – Aluminum-Free, Baking Soda-Free

A clean, herbaceous tallow deodorant with bright lemon and grounding basil. Made without aluminum or baking soda for people who want odor control without a heavy synthetic fragrance.

What Is Lemon Basil Tallow Deodorant?

Lemon Basil Tallow Deodorant is a farm-made deodorant designed to help neutralize underarm odor while allowing your body to sweat naturally. It is made with grass-fed tallow rendered on our North Carolina ranch, plus magnesium hydroxide, moisture-absorbing powders, zinc oxide, and lemon and basil essential oils.

This is deodorant, not an antiperspirant. It is designed to address odor, not stop the body's natural sweating process.

What Does Lemon Basil Deodorant Smell Like?
