Product Overview

Our Lemongrass Tea Tree Organic Stick Deodorant is a regular‑strength formula, made with less baking soda for those who want natural odor control with a gentler touch.

The deodorant stays firm in the tube, but give it a moment against your skin and it softens for a smooth, even glide.

A base of organic virgin coconut oil, organic shea butter, and organic jojoba oil nourishes delicate underarm skin and leaves a soft finish.

Organic cornstarch adds a soft finish that helps manage moisture throughout the day. A small amount of naturally mined baking soda keeps the underarm environment less welcoming to odor‑causing bacteria while remaining comfortable, providing dependable everyday odor control.

The essential oil blend — lemongrass and tea tree — creates a fresh, lemony‑herbal scent that’s both uplifting and clean. Lemongrass brings the bright citrus; tea tree brings the cool, camphor‑herbal edge. Together, they create a scent that feels crisp, outdoorsy, and naturally deodorizing.

Organic plant oils, beeswax, moisture-absorbing botanicals, a touch of baking soda, and pure essential oils — that's it — effective, breathable, and intentionally simple.

Packaged in a recyclable, push‑up paperboard tube with FSC certification—zero-waste, no plastic, just a clean, sustainable choice for everyday comfort.

How To Use

Apply daily to clean, completely dry underarms.

Because our deodorants are made with organic beeswax, plant oils, and butters, they respond to warmth. Hold the stick against your dry underarm for a few seconds to allow it to soften slightly. This step ensures a smooth, even application and helps prevent irritation from friction.

Once softened, gently swipe 1–2 times per underarm. A very thin layer is all you need — more is not better.

To dispense, remove the cap and gently push up from the base of the tube to expose a small amount. After applying, tap the bottom of the tube on a firm surface to allow the product to slide back down before replacing the cap. Do not press it down from the top.

Helpful Tips

Apply only to dry skin. Since oil and water do not mix, applying to damp underarms may prevent proper absorption and could transfer product to clothing.
These are deodorants, not antiperspirants. They do not block sweat. Many people notice that perspiration naturally balances over time.
In colder temperatures, the stick may feel firmer. Warm the tube between your hands for 10–15 seconds, then hold it briefly against the skin before applying.
Do not apply immediately after shaving or on broken skin.
If irritation occurs, discontinue use.
Store in a cool, dry place. In very warm conditions, the deodorant may soften; it will firm again when cooled.
Best if used within 6 months of opening.

If you’re switching from a conventional antiperspirant, your underarms may need a week or two to adjust. Give them time to rebalance — most people find the transition well worth it.

If you have very sensitive skin or are simply trying a new product for the first time, we always recommend doing a patch test.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why Is Underarm Skin More Sensitive?

Did you ever notice that so many people are ticklish under their arm? Your underarms are one of the most sensitive parts of your body.

Why Are Underarms More Sensitive?

Underarm skin is a bit thinner than the skin on other parts of your body
Underarm skin is not exposed to outside elements which can make skin tougher
Underarms usually get very little sunlight
The warm, moist environment is a breeding ground for bacteria
The friction that occurs when underarms rub against skin or clothing can cause skin irritation
Underarms are home to lots of nerves and lymph nodes

You may notice that you can feel a simple touch more than you can on other areas of the body. When you add up all of these factors you can see why underarm skin is not only more sensitive, but also more prone to irritation.

Underarm Care

Keep your underarms clean
Shaving can really irritate sensitive skin
- Be sure to moisturize after shaving
- Shave at night before bedtime to allow the skin to heal a bit overnight
Underarm pores can get clogged, so it is a good idea to gently exfoliate the area periodically
- Since this area is so sensitive, use the gentler products madde to exfoliate your face rather than your body
- Do not use scratchy accessories, like loofahs, when washing which may irritate sensitive skin
Use a natural, organic, moisturizing deodorant

Do I need an "Armpit Detox" when switching to natural deodorant?

The Armpit Detox Myth

Many people transition seamlessly to a natural deodorant. Others report a transition period.

I do not believe in "armpit detox" the way in which it is described by many companies that sell natural deodorant. Armpit "detox" is simply a normal adjustment period.

We have all heard about detox diets and cleanses for your body. Well now some people are advocating a detox for armpits. The ritual usually involves mixing up armpit masks made with charcoal, clays, or apple cider vinegar and applying them to your armpits to supposedly help “detox” the harmful chemicals that may have built up due ingredients in conventional deodorant or antiperspirants.

The idea behind the armpit detox is that it helps make the transition from an aluminum-based antiperspirant to a natural deodorant easier. However, there is no evidence that an underarm detox will reduce odor or make your new natural deodorant more effective.

Natural Deodorant Armpit Detox Mask Myth Commercial deodorants and antiperspirants change the types and amounts of bacteria in the armpit which explains why you may sweat more and have a change in body odor initially.

Please do not allow a company to tell you that the increase in odor and/or sweat is the result of your body expelling or flushing out toxins. Your body has a great natural detox system that includes your liver and your kidneys, but your skin--not so much.

What people call and Armpit "detox" is simply a normal adjustment period. You do NOT need to buy armpit "detox" kits.

A simple wash with a gentle soap and water will remove antiperspirant or deodorant on your skin and help control odor.

Our bodies are quite resistant to change. Our bodies enjoy the status quo. They see change as a disruption and often resist change even if it is a positive one.

The bottom line--our body needs time to adjust to change and since each of us is a unique individual and our armpit microbiome is different the timeline varies from person to person.

Ultimately, it depends on your unique body chemistry.

Since there was so much information I wanted to share, I have written two blogs:

Part 1: Transitioning To Natural Deodorant, discusses the why you may experience an adjustment period as well as the possible causes of irritation and or rashes that some may experience when switching from a conventional antiperspirant or deodorant to an all natural deodorant.

Part 2: Transitioning To Natural Deodorant, provides some suggestions to help with the adjustment period and or to help alleviate the causes of irritation. Part 2 also answers some common questions about using a natural deodorant.

Are Chagrin Valley Ingredients & Products USDA Certified Organic?

Chagrin Valley Soap & Salve is a USDA Certified Organic Company

The most important consideration in any business is its customers. Today's world of misleading claims, false advertising, and simple deception, often leaves consumers trying to discover the truth about personal products and their ingredients.

We want our customers to know that we are committed to transparency in everything we do.
We want our customers to know that when we say "organic," we mean it.
We believe that in becoming a USDA Certified Organic company, our customers do not have to wonder if we really use certified organic ingredients or if our organic products are truly organic.
So we choose to be a certified organic company and abide by the strict standards required for organic certification.

Some of my favorite products are made with ingredients that just do not exist as certified organic. Why? At this time there are no standards created for ingredients specifically used in the personal care product industry. Organic certification of personal care products is based on the organic food standards set by the National Organic Program of the USDA.

But since we are a certified organic company, we are required to submit documentation that even our "non-organic ingredients" were produced without the use of toxic pesticides, genetically modified organisms (GMOs), sewage sludge, or irradiation.

What are essential oils?

What Are Pure Essential Oils?

Have you ever enjoyed the scent of a fragrant flower or herb? The fragrance comes from potent, aromatic compounds called essential oils found in the flowers, stems, seeds, bark, roots, fruits, and other parts of plants. It often requires several pounds of a plant to produce a single bottle of essential oil.

Essential oils not only give plants their unique scents but also help lure plant pollinators and protect plants from insects and other predators.

The chemical composition of essential oils may provide valuable psychological and physical aromatherapeutic benefits for some people.

It is important to note that to be a true essential oil, the oil must be isolated from the plant material by physical means only. Essential oils are NEVER extracted using solvents.

Although synthetic fragrances or "nature identical" oils are available at a much lower cost, only natural plant essential oils will provide any aromatherapeutic benefits.

If you are pregnant or under a doctor's care for any medical condition, please consult your healthcare provider before using essential oils.

Pregnancy & Children: We do not provide information on the safety of essential oils during Pregnancy or for use in Children because the available information is very ambiguous and often contradictory. If you’re interested in using essential oils during pregnancy or with young children please do your own research and consult your doctor, midwife, or health care professional before use.

Are Your Products and Ingredients Cruelty Free?

All of Chagrin Valley's natural soap, shampoo bars, and personal care products are certified cruelty-free by Leaping Bunny.

Chagrin Valley Soap & Salve has been Leaping Bunny Certified since 2013.

The Leaping Bunny Program was developed in 1996, by The Coalition for Consumer Information on Cosmetics (CCIC), to identify and support companies that are doing their part to help eliminate the unnecessary use and mistreatment of animals to test cosmetic products and ingredients. The CCIC is made up of eight animal protection groups including the Humane Society of the U.S., as well as groups from Canada and Europe.

At Chagrin Valley we do not test our finished products on animals (other than human volunteers). But what about the raw materials, the ingredients we use?

Many products display labels claiming that their finished product is ‘not tested on animals’ but this does not guarantee that the product ingredients are actually free from animal testing.

The CCIC Standard is a pledge that a company makes to remove animal testing from all stages of product development. Our pledge to buy ingredients that are cruelty-free is integrated into the purchase agreement for all of our suppliers.

Personal care products displaying the “real” Leaping Bunny logo are certified ‘cruelty-free' using the internationally recognized Humane Cosmetics Standards. These rigorous standards require that no animal testing is performed or authorized for finished products or any of the ingredients in any stage of product development by the company, its laboratories or its suppliers after a fixed cut-off date. All Leaping Bunny companies are subject to independent audits and pledge commitments that are renewed on an annual basis.

This annual renewal is a key requirement that sets the Leaping Bunny Program apart from other cruelty-free certification programs. Companies that manufacture products, as well as their ingredient suppliers, must annually recommit to upholding their promise to not conduct animal testing on any finished products, ingredients, or formulations.

Why is this annual commitment renewal important? "Because product formulations change, suppliers come and go, and manufacturers develop innovative lines to meet consumer needs. But we know that compassionate consumers need to be confident that no animal testing is involved in the products they use."

At Chagrin Valley Soap & Salve . . .

we do NOT test our products on animals
we do NOT use ingredients tested on animals
we do NOT sell into markets that require animal testing

The Leaping Bunny Program provides
the best assurance to consumers
that they are making compassionate shopping choices
by purchasing Cruelty-Free skin care!

What Do The Different Organic Symbols Mean?

We use two different organic symbols on our website

Each symbol has a unique definition!

The "certified organic" labeling has been developed by the USDA and refers to organic claims and labeling on food and personal care products in the United States.

The USDA has very strict guidelines for the percentage of organic ingredients necessary to receive organic certification. Other countries have their own certification procedures, requirements, and standards. Labeling criteria and allowable ingredients differ from those in the US.

The USDA uses a structured labeling system based on the percentage of organic ingredients in a product (excluding water and salt-NaCl).

Products That Use the USDA Organic Seal

The USDA Organic Logo Label can be used on products that meet the standards of the first two tiers of the organic labeling system, in which 95 - 100% of all ingredients are certified organic.

Most of our non-soap products fall into this category and display the USDA logo!

Products That Use OEFFA Seal

Products made with 70–94.9% Organic Ingredients are labeled “Made with Organic ___”

Products like our soaps and shampoo bars are 85–92% organic and fall into the “Made With Organic Ingredients” category.

OEFFA Certified Organic Skin Care Why Soap & Shampoo Bars? Because the soapmaking process requires lye — a non‑agricultural ingredient that makes up more than 5% of the formula — they cannot meet the 95% threshold, even though the rest of the ingredients are organic.

These products are not allowed to use the USDA organic seal. Instead, they may display the seal of our certifying agent and the words “Certified Organic by OEFFA.”

Chagrin Valley Soap is certified by OEFFA (Ohio Ecological Food and Farm Association) — a nonprofit, USDA‑approved agency that verifies our organic ingredients and manufacturing processes.

Is There an Expiration Date On My Natural Skincare Product?

Product Expiration Dates

Natural Organic Skin Care Products We hand make all of our own products in small batches to ensure freshness, consistency, and perfection.

Our products are not made to sit on store shelves for years and years.

Although there are natural preservatives within the chemical structure of many natural ingredients, they not as potent as the synthetic preservatives used in commercial products to prolong shelf-life.

Other than soap, our products are remade every few weeks and none are very old when they are sold. Our non-soap products should be opened within 6 months of purchase.

Since we use no preservatives or chemical stabilizers, the more important question is, "how long will the product last once it has been opened?

Once opened, skin care products become exposed to dirt and microorganisms (bacteria, yeasts, and molds) that are found in the air and on the skin.

As soon as you open and begin to use any product, simply the way in which you use it will affect its lifespan.

So, we use the PAO (period-after-opening) symbol. These symbols are already available on the product pages of our website and we are in the process of adding them to all of our labels.

The POA symbol is a standard symbol that identifies the useful lifetime of a skin care product after it has been opened for the first time.

As you can see from the picture, the symbol is an open jar with a written number and the letter "M" for the word "months."

A product with a "9M" would mean that it is good for 9 months after opening.

Tip: write the date you open a product for the first time on its label so you can keep track of the period after opening.

Our POA number represents our best suggestion. There are many factors that can affect the lifespan of a product. If a product is discolored, has an unpleasant smell or looks odd, the product should not be used and should be discarded.

Each time you place your warm fingers into a tin or jar, you melt some of the butter which can change the consistency of the product.
Fingers also introduce bacteria and other contaminants into the product.
If a product has not been stored properly, for example, if the lid has been left off for long periods of time, the product may ‘go off’ before the period after opening has passed.
As scented products age, some of the natural essential oil scent may be lost. Pure essential oils just do not have the staying power of synthetic fragrance oils.
Over time, natural colors may also fade.

If you’re like me, and you find an old dusty product hiding in a drawer, makeup bag, or even a suitcase from your last trip, you can call us with the lot number and we can verify its age. Obviously, if it seems off in any way, toss it!

Please note: This PAO symbol is widely used in Europe to recommend the length of time a product remains usable after opening, for products that have a shelf-life of at least 30 months. Our products do NOT have a shelf-life of 30 months before opening.
