A unique blend of 100% certified organic, natural ingredients! Skin-nourishing shea butter, moisture-absorbing arrowroot flour, odour-eliminating bicarbonate soda, coconut oil; the great all-rounder, and some skin-loving jojoba. Add a dash of certified organic essential oils, and you’ve got yourself Pits of Joy!
cedar + clove contains a of bergamot, cedarwood atlas, clove bud and patchouli essential oils. While lemongrass + lavender contains bergamot, spike lavender and lemongrass essential oils.
Gently rub a pea-size amount under each armpit into the area where hair sometimes grows. Much like wasabi, a little bit goes a long way, and using more won’t make it anymore effective, so no need to lather up.
For best results apply Pits of Joy to freshly laundered skin after bathing. If you’re already a hot mess, never fear; pop some on and it’ll get you through. Either way, just be sure to give it a minute to absorb before you put a top on.
Pits of Joy works by neutralising the bacteria on your skin that cause you to smell, whilst still allowing your body to do what it does naturally.
To break it down; sweat itself doesn’t actually smell. It’s the bacteria that live on your skin consuming the proteins and lipids in your sweat, that causes the odour. So if you eliminate the bacteria, you eliminate the smell!
On average, a 55g jar will provide you with between six and twelve weeks of joy. Although the exact length of that piece of string depends on you. If you shower six times a day, it’ll probably be less.
Once opened, your jar will be good for 12 months.
Just like you, Pits of Joy is made using 100% natural ingredients, that can be affected by changes in ambient temperature. For this reason it’s best not to leave it in the car or on a window sill. If it does become too hot, give it a good stir and put it in the fridge to cool down. It won’t be any less effective for it’s hot time.
It sure will!
If you do remove your hair, we just suggest that you do it in the evening, as the process can cause your skin to become more sensitive. But if that’s not possible, just give it 30 minutes or so before applying.
Bicarbonate soda is a really effective antibacterial and antimicrobial agent, which is why it’s often used in natural deodorants. However, the amount of bicarb in a product coupled with an individual’s skin chemistry, may increase the pH level of the skin and possibly lead to a reaction. While Pits of Joy does contain bicarb, the result of the unique formulation is both effective at eliminating odour while also being gentle on sensitive skin. People who’ve experienced a reaction to other natural deodorants, often find they tolerate this range well, and their natural deodorant prayers have been answered! However everyone is different, and if you do experience a reaction, please discontinue use.
