What's inside?

It's all about the ingredients. Learn what ingredients we use in our Tallow Deodorant and why we use them.

  • 100% Grass-Fed Irish Beef Tallow

    AKA the best moisturiser in the world. It restores and retains the skin's natural moisture and deeply nourishes and hydrates the skin.

  • Cocoa Butter

    Natural butter extracted from cacao beans growing on the cacao trees. It is one of the best natural ingredients to use in skincare as it's deeply hydrating and prevents the skin from drying out.

  • Organic Castor Oil

    Castor Oil has antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties. It's extremely effective in cleansing, purifying and detoxifying while nourishing the skin.

  • Magnesium Hydroxide

    Mineral that is a natural alternative to aluminium in deodorant. It neutralises odour-causing bacteria and ensures an inhospitable environment for them to grow. It is also a non-irritating alternative to baking soda as it's extremely gentle on the skin.

  • Arrowroot Powder

    Made by grinding up the roots of the Maranta Arundinacea plant (aka. Arrowroot plant) and has an amazing ability to absorb moisture and sweat ensuring dry feeling pits all day.

  • Kaolin Clay

    A gentle clay that absorbs moisture and has strong detoxifying properties.

  • Non-nano Zinc Oxide

    Neutralises odor-causing bacteria, prevents irritation and soothes the skin.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

FAQ

How does Ancestral Cosmetics Tallow Deodorant work?

Our deodorant works by neutralising bacteria that are the main cause of body odour. Gentle ingredients like magnesium hydroxide and non-nano zinc oxide neutralise bacteria that are causing body odour and ingredients like arrowroot powder help to absorb the sweat instead of stopping the body from sweating.

Does Tallow Deodorant contain aluminium?

No, tallow deodorant doesn’t contain aluminium. It also doesn’t contain any parabens, preservatives, triclosan, artificial fragrances, refined seed oils or petroleum-based ingredients.

Is Tallow Deodorant an antiperspirant?

No, Tallow Deodorant is NOT an antiperspirant. Antiperspirants usually contain aluminium that completely prevents the sweat, blocking the pores and trapping the sweat (and toxins) in your body.

This prevents the natural detoxification process and can cause health issues. Tallow deodorant neutralises odour-causing bacteria and helps to absorb sweat, keeping you smelling good while not disrupting the body's natural detoxification processes.

I am still sweating while using deodorant, is this normal?

Yes, sweating is a normal and healthy way for our body to detoxify itself and it shouldn’t be prevented. Our deodorant won’t stop you from sweating but active ingredients inside will help to absorb the sweat keeping you dry most of the time.

However, everybody sweats differently and some people sweat more than others so they may need a different approach or more regular application. If you struggle to stay dry or if you just prefer drier pits, we recommend applying 2-3 swipes every 3-4 hours.

How often can I apply my deodorant?  

We recommend 2-3 gentle swipes 1-2 times per day but if you want drier pits, you can reapply it every 3-4 hours.

Does tallow deodorant contain baking soda?

No, our tallow deodorant doesn’t contain baking soda.

Do you use perfume (fragrance) in your formula?

No, we don’t use perfume or fragrance oils in our deodorant.

Our scented deodorants are made with a blend of 100% pure essential oils and our unscented deodorant is essential oil free.

I am sensitive to essential oils, what deodorant should I choose?

Our Unscented Deodorant has been created for people sensitive to essential oils or looking for a neutral scent in their deodorant. It is formulated without any essential oils and has a natural scent.

How to apply tallow deodorant?

  1. Hold to pit to soften for 5-10 seconds with your hand (or hold the deodorant on your armpit).
  2. Swipe down 2-3 times
  3. Smell great

For external use only. Skin sensitivities may occur. Do not apply directly after shaving. Do not over-apply or use on broken skin. Keep out of reach of children.

How long will one deodorant last?

One deodorant tube should last between 2-3 months depending on the use.

My deodorant is too hard, what do I do?

Our deodorant is made from only natural ingredients and as such can be more susceptible to temperature changes. It is normal for tallow deodorant to be slightly harder during colder months. To soften it, hold it on the pits for 5 seconds or longer if needed and then give it a swipe.

Is this deodorant going to stain my clothes?

Our deodorant won’t stain clothes if applied correctly. We recommend applying the deodorant after putting on your clothes. 2-3 swipes is all it takes so don't overdo it.

Store it at room temperature, away from sunlight to make sure your deodorant has the right structure to use.

Why are you using plastic packaging instead of cardboard for your deodorant?

While cardboard deodorant tubes are being touted as a sustainable alternative they come with some significant drawbacks.

The cardboard is not waterproof nor oilproof which means the product would leak out unless the tube is lined from the inside with a water/oilproof liner. So cardboard tubes come with a thin plastic (or soy paper) liner on the inside, similar to paper coffee cups.

This hair-thin liner has a much higher potential to melt and leak into the product when a hot deodorant is poured in than hard plastic containers do.

Manufacturers of these cardboard tubes often try to hide the contents of the liner itself, which often contains questionable chemicals like BPA or BPS, even though they are promoted with nice sounding names such as "soy paper liner".

At the same time, those cardboard containers are just a pain to use as deodorant needs to be pushed up with a finger, leading to overusing or wasting deodorant, and messy containers that get banged up when travelling or taking your deodorant to the gym.

So our conclusion was that cardboard tubes are neither healthier nor more sustainable in the long run compared to virgin plastic tubes we use.

How to switch to Tallow Deodorant?

Transitioning from commercial deodorant to a natural one is more than just a swap—it’s a way to let your body breathe and return to its natural state.

Best unscented, natural deodorant

I have tried several natural, odorless or subtle-smelling deodorants, but this deodorant by Ancestral Cosmetics surprised me for several reasons. On the one hand, the fact that it doesn't contain sunflower oil or similar, since many natural deodorants use this type of ingredient. On the other hand, the scent is practically unnoticeable. Even though at first it took me a while to adapt to the texture, after a few days you get used to it. Overall, a great deodorant.

Love this product! It’s a standout in a market flooded with tallow product! This is by far my favorite and I’ve tried 20 plus. It’s cleared my rosacea and leaves my skin glowing!❤️👍🏻

Forgot I was even sweating!

The tallow deodorant just absorbed into my skin and did its thing. I literally forgot I was sweating. Didn’t even feel it. Fabulous product! I will be purchasing again!

A SENSITIVE SKIN WIN!!!

I’ve had A LOT of trouble finding deodorant that doesn’t cause rashes, but with this tallow deodorant I’ve had ZERO ADVERSE EFFECTS. Which is unheard of for me. You do have to warm it up in your palm before applying, but I’ll gladly take that over rashes!! I don’t need to reapply through the day and the best part is I DONT STINK!! Even with it being unscented. In the future I’ll try one of the scented ones. I usually have a bad experience with fragrance so I opted out of that for my first purchase. All in all I absolutely love it, and have been recommending it to people with sensitive skin!!

Armpit rash eliminator.

You advertise that by using your natural derived deodorant that armpit rash would be gone and sure enough you were right. Mine disappeared after only a few days! In this day and age how refreshing it is for a product to live up to its commercial comments. Well done.
