Your sweat isnā€™t 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 aluminumā€¦ 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? Itā€™s not! Thatā€™s 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 & Finished
Beef 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.

Organic Coconut Oil

Coconut Oil moisturizes and nourishes the skin with antimicrobial and antioxidant properties. This leaves the skin feeling refreshed, smooth, and balanced.

Naturally Mined Baking Soda

Baking soda helps neutralize odors by balancing the pH of the skin, creating an environment less favorable for bacterial growth.

Magnesium Hydroxide

Gentle on the skin, magnesium hydroxide balances pH levels and fights odor-causing bacteria without irritation, especially ideal for sensitive skin.

Kaolin Clay & Arrowroot Powder

Kaolin clay and arrowroot powder help 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. Their gentle nature makes it suitable for sensitive skin, providing a soft texture to the deodorant without causing irritation.

Non-nano Zinc

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 itā€™s shape.

Organic Serenity Essential
Oil Blend

This essential oil blend includes: Copaiba, Lime, Cedarwood, Vanilla, Ocotea, and a hint of Lavender for a well-rounded refreshing scent. Additional benefits from the essential oils include: anti-inflammatory, antiseptic and antibacterial properties.

Lasted all day in the sun, 10/10

Iā€™ve tried so many natural deodorants, but nothing worked as well as Bear Necessity. Not only does it keep me smelling fresh through long workdays and workouts, but my skin feels softer and healthier too. No irritation, no synthetic fragrancesā€”just clean, long-lasting freshness. I love that itā€™s made right here in the USA with ingredients I can trust. Papabear has a lifelong customer in me!

Perfect for Sensitive Skin

Iā€™ve struggled with sensitive skin and reactions to mainstream deodorants for years. I was hesitant to try something new, but Bear Necessity exceeded my expectations! The combination of zinc oxide and kaolin clay is so gentle, and the essential oils smell amazing without being overpowering. Best of all, no rashes or irritation. Iā€™m so happy I finally found a deodorant thatā€™s safe, organic, and effective. Highly recommend!

Lasts all day without reapplying!

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 itā€™s 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!

A clean deodorant that actually works!

Iā€™ve switched to all-natural products for my health, but finding a deodorant that actually works was so toughā€”until I found Bear Necessity. It keeps me fresh all day without any nasty ingredients, and the essential oil blend is just perfect! I love how light and smooth it feels on my skin. This deodorant ticks all the boxes: organic, aluminum-free, and made by a family business I can trust. You wonā€™t regret trying it!
