Natural Deodorant Stick: Palo Santo

The team at Monks features an innovative deodorant stick formula with a blend of AHAs, including Mandelic and Lactic Acid, to regulate skin pH. There is no aluminum, baking soda, or other toxic additives. The proprietary blend also includes Zinc Ricinoleate to neutralize odors by capturing and eliminating odor-causing molecules without disrupting the skin’s natural microbiome, Arrowroot Powder to absorb moisture and keep underarms dry, and plant-derived Sunflower Wax to provide a soothing, non-drying texture without leaving a greasy residue.

Scent: Grounding and refreshing, this blend combines the smoky warmth of sustainably sourced Palo Santo with the crisp, green notes of Cypress Leaf. The result is an earthy, invigorating aroma that balances soothing woodiness with a fresh, forest-like vitality—perfect for centering the mind and uplifting the senses.
