Deodorant

Antiperspirants work by temporarily blocking sweat glands, typically with aluminum-based compounds, to reduce how much you sweat. Natural deodorants, like Plantish's bars and sticks, don't block sweat at all - they work by neutralizing the bacteria that cause odor, so your body continues to sweat naturally while staying fresh.

No. Because it's a deodorant rather than an antiperspirant, it doesn't block sweat glands or reduce perspiration. It's designed to control odor while letting your body sweat as it normally would.

Baking soda is a common ingredient in natural deodorants, but its alkalinity can irritate sensitive underarm skin, causing redness or a rash for some people. Our deodorants use magnesium hydroxide and arrowroot powder instead, which neutralizes odor-causing bacteria and absorb moisture without the irritation risk that baking soda can carry.

Many people notice a short transition period after switching from an antiperspirant, since your underarms are adjusting to sweating normally again. This typically settles within a couple of weeks. Applying in the morning and reapplying if needed throughout the day can help during this adjustment.

Yes. Because the formula is gentle and non-irritating, the deodorant may also be applied to external skin areas such as the inner thighs, bikini line, behind the knees, and feet. Patch test before use, avoid broken or irritated skin, and discontinue use if irritation occurs.

Both use the same signature formula - they're simply different formats. The bar is a compact cube best paired with a soap dish for easy storage, while the stick comes in a twist-up dispenser for a more traditional application feel.

Yes. Plantish deodorants are vegan, and none of our products are tested on animals - they're tried by our own team, family, and friends instead.
