How to Get Rid of Smelly Armpits
You showered. You put on deodorant. You got dressed. And somehow, by lunchtime, your armpits have developed a personality of their own.
Rude.
If smelly armpits are cramping your style, meet Freshstick by Bedrock. Our all-body deodorant takes a different approach to odor control, with 22% zinc oxide, Matcha Green Tea, and a thoughtful blend of botanical ingredients. No aluminum. No baking soda. No added synthetic fragrance.
WHAT MAKES FRESHSTICK DIFFERENT?
Most conventional deodorants rely on fragrance to help mask body odor, while antiperspirants use ingredients designed to reduce or block sweat. Freshstick takes a different approach.
It features 22% zinc oxide, a mineral ingredient that makes Freshstick stand out from the usual deodorant lineup, alongside Matcha Green Tea and other botanicals.
The formula is made without aluminum, baking soda, added synthetic fragrance, alcohols, parabens, or added salts. Its light botanical scent fades quickly, so you won't smell like you've been followed around by a perfume counter.
Freshstick comes in a paper push-up tube that's recyclable. It's designed for everyday use on underarms and our deodorant is excellent for protecting raw or tender skin folds.
One thing to know: Freshstick is a deodorant, not an antiperspirant. You'll still sweat. The goal is to help manage odor without trying to stop your body from doing its thing.
WHY DO ARMPITS SMELL, ANYWAY?
Here's the not-so-glamorous science. Sweat itself usually isn't the main culprit. Body odor develops when bacteria on your skin break down compounds in sweat, creating that familiar smell we'd all rather leave behind.
Heat, humidity, stress, hormonal changes, and synthetic clothing can all contribute. And sometimes, your usual deodorant simply isn't working for you.
The good news? A few simple changes can help.

What causes smelly armpits even after showering?
Smelly armpits occur when bacteria on the skin break down compounds in sweat, creating body odor. Heat, humidity, stress, hormonal changes, clothing, and deodorant choice can all contribute. Washing gently, wearing clean clothes, and using a deodorant that works for your body can help manage odor.

What makes Freshstick different from regular deodorants?
The zinc. Other deodorants use baking soda or other ingredients that might irritate or cause itching. Freshstick by Bedrock has 22% zinc to provide skin barrier protection, combat odor and calm skin. Unlike antiperspirants, it does not aim to stop sweating. Its formula is made without aluminum, baking soda, added synthetic fragrance, alcohols, parabens, or added salts. Its light botanical scent fades quickly.
