Traditional antiperspirants, found in supermarkets for as little as £1, often contain cheap and effective aluminum chlorohydrate. This ingredient blocks sweat glands but has raised health concerns, including a potential link to breast cancer.
Our hesitation to trust these products led us to stop using conventional antiperspirants altogether. Most deodorants simply mask body odor without hindering sweat production. While you may still sweat, we provide an alternative that avoids aluminum exposure and embraces a health-conscious approach.
Pit Putty is a unique deodorant—it doesn't merely mask odours; it prevents them. Designed to allow your body's natural sweating process, Pit Putty ensures that while you still sweat for natural detoxification, the resulting sweat remains odourless.
In your underarms, there are specific sweat glands called apocrine sweat glands. When you're hot or exercising, these glands release initially odorless sweat to cool you down. However, the sweat isn't odorless for long. Bacteria on your underarms consume the sweat and produce an acidic by-product, creating body odor.
Pit Putty, being mildly alkaline, reacts with this acidic by-product from bacteria, neutralizing it and putting an end to body odor. Some users also observe reduced sweating with Pit Putty, thanks to the natural plant root powder, arrowroot, which absorbs mild perspiration.
The water-free formula eliminates the need for preservatives, allowing Pit Putty to maintain its natural, preservative-free status with a long shelf life.
