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 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? 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.
Castor Oil
Castor oil is a rich, natural moisturizer known for its deep hydration and soothing properties. It locks in moisture, supports barrier function, and promotes a smooth, healthy appearanceāideal for skin, coat, surfaces, and gums alike.
Jojoba Oil

Vanilla Essential Oil
Vanilla essential oil enhances formulas with its calming, antioxidant-rich properties. When paired with ingredients like honey, it helps soothe irritation, fight bacteria, and deeply nourishāleaving skin, gums, or fur soft, healthy, and naturally refreshed.
