Deodorant usually takes one of two approaches: block sweat or cover up odor.

We went a different direction.

The Microbiome Reset + Deodorant Balm Duo is a two-step underarm system designed to address odor from multiple angles—without aluminum, baking soda, or an overpowering cloud of fragrance.

Microbiome Reset goes first, creating a lightweight foundation with ferment-derived ingredients, triethyl citrate, persimmon tannin, and zinc PCA to help manage the underarm environment and neutralize odor as it develops.

Deodorant Balm follows with magnesium hydroxide and triethyl citrate for an additional layer of odor control, while arrowroot and kaolin help absorb excess surface moisture.

Together, they keep things fresh without trying to shut down a perfectly normal biological function.

Why two steps?

Because body odor isn't actually caused by sweat itself.

Odor develops when components of perspiration interact with microorganisms on the skin. Instead of relying on a single ingredient—or simply masking the result with fragrance—this system targets the conditions behind odor while supporting the skin itself.

Step 1: Microbiome Reset

Balance + Neutralize

A fast-absorbing underarm serum featuring:

• Saccharomyces Ferment to condition and support a balanced skin environment

• Triethyl Citrate to help interfere with the processes involved in odor formation

• Persimmon Tannin to help bind and neutralize odor-causing compounds

• Zinc PCA to help manage odor while supporting skin balance

• Niacinamide, Aloe, Panthenol + Allantoin to hydrate, soothe, and support delicate underarm skin

Apply to clean, dry underarms and allow to absorb completely.

Step 2: Deodorant Balm

Protect + Control

Follow with a thin layer of Deodorant Balm for:

• Magnesium Hydroxide to help control odor without the high alkalinity of baking soda

• Triethyl Citrate for another layer of targeted odor protection

• Arrowroot + Kaolin to help absorb excess surface moisture

• Squalane + Shea Butter for soft, conditioned skin

• Bisabolol to help soothe skin exposed to shaving and friction

One Signature Scent

Both formulas share the same botanical blend of bergamot, ho wood, litsea cubeba, cardamom, frankincense, and neroli.

Bright citrus gives way to soft woods, warm spice, resin, and a subtle floral finish—fresh and sophisticated without screaming deodorant.

What the Duo does

• Provides multi-layered odor control

• Helps neutralize odor rather than simply masking it

• Helps manage excess surface moisture

• Supports comfortable, balanced underarm skin

• Allows normal perspiration rather than blocking it

• Provides an aluminum-free and baking-soda-free alternative to conventional underarm products

How to use

Start with clean, dry underarms.

Apply Microbiome Reset and allow it to absorb and dry completely. Follow with a small amount of Deodorant Balm, massaging it evenly into the skin. Works best if bathing in the morning.

Or, alternatively, apply Microbiome Reset to clean underarms before bed. Apply Deodorant Balm in the morning. Works best if bathing in the evening.

Use daily.

Who it's for

Anyone ready to rethink deodorant, especially those who haven't had great luck with conventional antiperspirants or baking-soda-heavy natural deodorants.

Use the products individually when that's all you need, or layer them for the complete system.

A quieter truth

Sweating is normal. Smelling like it doesn't have to be.

Two formulas. Different jobs. One smarter approach to staying fresh.
