Your sweat isnāt what smells. The bacteria on your skin eats the proteins inside of your sweat and secretes the stuff that smells, aka body odor.
For years deodorant companies have scared their customers into using antiperspirants (aka aluminum⦠yes the metal) loaded with artificial fragrances (aka endocrine disruptors) to stop the sweating altogether out of a valid fear of smelling bad. How is that healthy? Itās not! Thatās why Papabear focuses on the root problem and only uses ingredients that work with your body to balance the microbial environment on your skin and eliminate the odor.

Organic Ingredients
Grass-Fed & FinishedBeef Tallow
Derived from grass-fed cattle, organic beef tallow is a nutrient-rich ingredient containing essential fatty acids, vitamins (such as A, D, and E), and antioxidants. Its deep hydration and skin cell regeneration properties, along with anti-inflammatory effects, make it effective for moisturizing, soothing, and supporting the skin's natural protective barrier.
Shea Butter

Rich in vitamins A and E, shea butter delivers deep moisture and supports elasticityāhelping to soften, smooth, and protect.
Vitamin E Oil

Vitamin E is a potent antioxidant that helps neutralize free radicals, protecting against damage that can lead to premature aging. It also supports healing, improves elasticity, and promotes overall resilience.
Magnesium Hydroxide

Gentle on the skin, magnesium hydroxide balances pH levels and fights odor-causing bacteria without irritation, especially ideal for sensitive skin.
Arrowroot Powder
Helps absorb excess moisture from the skin, keeping underarms dry, comfortable, and reducing the conditions that promote bacterial growth while also aiding in the natural detoxification process. Its gentle nature makes it suitable for sensitive skin, providing a soft texture to the deodorant without causing irritation.
Non-nano Zinc Oxide

Non-nano zinc oxide serves as a natural antibacterial agent that helps reduce body odor by inhibiting bacterial growth on the skin. It also provides a protective barrier that soothes the skin and can help prevent irritation, making it beneficial for sensitive underarm areas.
Local Beeswax
Beeswax is a natural emollient and thickening agent. It forms a protective barrier on the skin's surface, and safeguarding the skin from environmental irritants. This is how the deodorant stick keeps itās shape.

I work long hours outdoors so I need a deodorant that can really stand up to sweat and stress. Bear Necessity has been a lifesaver! It lasts all day, even in the Texas heat, and I never have to reapply. Plus, knowing itās free from harmful chemicals and made from organic, locally sourced ingredients makes it an easy choice for me. Support American-made products and grab this deodorant!
