Which Pretty Frank Deodorant is Best for Me?
Just like a fingerprint, everyone's body chemistry is unique. That's why we offer so many deodorant options. If you're unsure which is right for you, you can start with our Body Chemistry Kit to try a mini of each.
Is Pit Paste an Antiperspirant?
Unlike aluminum antiperspirant that clogs sweat glands to prevent sweating, Pit Paste allows your body to sweat and detoxify naturally. The organic arrowroot powder in Pit Paste helps absorb moisture to keep you feeling comfortably dry.
Does Pit Paste Stain?
A little goes a long way, y'all - so only use the recommended amount and wait until everything is fully absorbed before getting dressed to avoid staining.
I'm New Here - Where Do I Start?
Welcome, friend. Be sure to check out our Pit Detox Protocol so you know exactly what to expect when switching to natural deodorant. We recommend first-timers start with our Pit Detox Kit.
Is Pit Paste Cruelty-Free & Vegan?
Heck yes. All our products are certified cruelty-free by Leaping Bunny. Most of our stuff is suitable for vegans with the exception of our deodorant sticks and lip balms, which contain organic beeswax.
Is Your Packaging Plastic?
We care as much about the health of the environment as we do about your health, so we strive to use responsible packaging whenever possible. Most of our products are packaged in glass that is both reusable/recyclable and naturally BPA-free. Our deodorant sticks, lip balms, and sample sizes are packaged in plastic which is BPA-free and recyclable.

My armpits are super sensitive and I can’t use natural baking soda deodorants. This zinc formula is so great! I didn’t get any redness or bumps! Definitely feel refreshed after using it! Will definitely be ordering more and highly recommend!

I am a huge fan of the Primal Pit Paste, and I respect the company's values and goals in making a safe and naturally-derived product. Now that Primal Pit Paste has been renamed Pretty Frank, I can safely say that the only real change is the look of the packaging. The paste inside the jar is just as fantastic as ever. I included both the old product and the new product in the picture for reference. The new jars are opaque white but still glass. As you can see, I tend to purchase small jars to try out a new scent, and then order a large jar when I'm hooked on a scent. The little jars end up super handy for traveling, though, so I switch in to the larger jar as soon as it arrives and keep the little one for my travel bag. I do like to keep a small jar of unscented around at all times as a backup. You never know when the unscented is going to be necessary, but I'd rather have that on hand than risk going without deodorant! For example, if I'm wearing a scented lotion or perfume for a special occasion, and I don't want to risk my deodorant clashing with that scent, then unscented comes to the rescue!
I really love the zinc formulation of the paste because it's very gentle on my skin (the baking soda variety would irritate my skin if I used it multiple days in a row). Again, this is another thing I respect about the company is their acknowledgement that skin chemistry varies from person to person. Zinc works amazingly well for my skin. Maybe baking soda is ideal for someone else,…
