All Natural Himalayan salt deodorant
Use an all-natural Himalayan salt deodorant for a chemical free alternative to commercial deodorants! Wet it and use it as a regular deodorant bar. Odour is caused by bacteria and salt kills bacteria. Therefore no bacteria = no odour!
Many are still unaware of the hidden dangers in the active ingredients of modern day deodorant. They continue to use these potentially hazardous chemicals on their underarms as a way of reducing perspiration and odour. The primary ingredient used in most antiperspirants is aluminium. Aluminium is a metal, which is used in antiperspirants to help block the sweat from escaping the pores.
Parabens are a family of synthetic preservatives that are often found in deodorants as well. Phthalates are another class of chemicals that are often used in deodorants and antiperspirants that you may want to avoid. Triclosan is another common ingredient included in commercial deodorants. It is utilized as the odour killing part of antiperspirants for its anti-bacterial properties.
Himalayan Salt has a rich mineral content that includes over 84 minerals and trace elements such as: calcium, magnesium, potassium, copper and iron. This salt is recognized for its beautiful pink colour, high mineral content, and its therapeutic properties.
Himalayan Salt is a pure, hand-mined salt that is derived from ancient sea salt deposits in the foothills of the Himalayas. Protected from pollution and impurities since their formation 200 million years ago, Pink Himalayan salt is believed to be the purest form of salt available. The high mineral crystals range in colour from sheer white, varying shades of pink, to deep reds, the result of high mineral and iron content.
These versatile bars have multiple uses. Warm in the oven for 15 minutes and use with massage oils for a soothing treatment. The bar can be used in the bath, lightly gliding over the wet skin to benefit from the rich minerals. If looking for a natural deodorant, try using the wet salt bar to provide an invisible layer of salt to deter odours. Sea salt is known for it's stimulating and soothing properties.
Much has been made of the possible contribution of aluminium-containing underarm antiperspirants to the incidence of breast cancer, since the most common location of the breast cancer is the upper outer quadrant of the breast. Aluminium salts, such as those used in anti-perspirants, have recently been classified as metal oestrogens. In research published in the Journal of Applied Toxicology, Dr. Philippa D. Darbre of the University of Reading has shown that aluminium salts increase oestrogen-related gene expression in human breast cancer cells grown in the laboratory.

Here’s everything you need to know about getting your order to you safely. We’re a small, independent company and everything we make is handmade with care — so we take shipping just as seriously as we take the making!
📦 When will my order be dispatched?
We’re a little different from most online shops. We’re a small team of real people, and every single culture we sell is handmade and grown naturally by us. That means we can’t always predict exactly when something will be ready — nature sets the pace, not us. When a culture needs more time to grow, we wait, because sending it before it’s ready just isn’t something we’re willing to do.
Our current dispatch time is 3–5 working days, and we dispatch Monday to Thursday only. We avoid Fridays so that live cultures don’t spend the weekend sitting in a courier depot. We know waiting can feel frustrating, but every order leaves us in the best possible condition — and that’s what matters most to us.

📍 Please double-check your address!
This is a really important one — please make sure your delivery address is correct before you place your order. Once our fulfilment process has started, addresses generally can’t be changed, even if you contact us. We’ll always do our best if you get in touch early, but we can’t guarantee we’ll be able to help once things are underway. So please do take a moment to check before you hit that order button!
❓ What if something goes wrong?
Delayed order? Get in touch via our contact page and we’ll chase it with Royal Mail. Please note they don’t class an item as late until 10 working days after posting.
Damaged on arrival? Please use our web form to let us know within 7 days, and include photos of both the item and the packaging. Without photos we can’t raise a courier claim — and we genuinely can’t, it’s a Royal Mail requirement, not our choice! Please hold onto everything until we give the all-clear.
Tracking says delivered but you can’t find it? Check the delivery photo, ask other household members, and check the letterbox. Still nothing? Contact us via our web form and we’ll investigate with Royal Mail on your behalf.
Something missing or wrong? We’re a small team and we pack every order by hand — occasionally we make mistakes. Use our web form or WhatsApp us on 01323 730091 (Monday–Thursday) and we’ll put it right as quickly as we can.
💸 Royal Mail return charges
If an item comes back to us due to an incorrect address, non-collection, or refused delivery, Royal Mail charge us £5.95 which we’ll need to deduct from any refund. This is a Royal Mail charge that we have no control over, so please do double-check your address details before ordering!
📧 Lost or non-delivered items
Since January 2024, Royal Mail have introduced new rules requiring proof of non-delivery before they’ll consider any claim. We know it can feel like a lot of hoops to jump through — and honestly, we agree — but these are Royal Mail’s rules and we have no option but to follow them. Without the required evidence, we simply can’t pursue a claim on your behalf, no matter how much we’d like to.
If your tracking is inconclusive, we’ll need supporting evidence such as: no delivery photo being taken, the photo not being of your property, or the item being left in an insecure location. If your item has been stolen, you’ll need to report it to the police and share the crime reference number with us. Please use our web form to get in touch so we have everything we need in writing to support your case.
