Why Choose Zinc Oxide Deodorant?
We get it.
You’ve struck out on countless “natural” deodorants. You’ve got a drawer full of half-used sticks that made big promises but didn’t deliver. Your armpits are sensitive. You want something that actually combats odor—without the rash, sting, or baking soda burn.
It’s not impossible.
At Bedrock, we make our Freshstick zinc oxide deodorant for sensitive underarms that still deserve powerful odor control. It’s safe to use right after shaving, smooths bumps, and helps your underarms feel fresh and calm.
And the secret?
Zinc oxide. A tiny mineral with huge benefits.
What Does Zinc Oxide Do in Deodorant?
Zinc oxide is a mineral best known for its calming and protective properties (yep, it’s the same zinc found in mineral sunscreens). In deodorant, zinc oxide does three incredible things:
-
Tackles odor at the source – Instead of masking smells with fragrance or fighting bacteria with harsh ingredients, zinc oxide neutralizes odor-causing compounds. It works with your skin—not against it.
-
Soothes sensitive skin – Zinc oxide forms a lightweight barrier that calms irritation and protects freshly shaved underarms from redness or friction.
-
Helps bumps and uneven texture – Because zinc supports healthy skin balance, it can help your underarms feel smoother and more even over time.
The result? A natural deodorant that actually works—without baking soda, aluminum, or irritation.
Why Zinc Oxide Beats Baking Soda
A lot of “natural” deodorants rely on baking soda to fight odor. But here’s the catch: sometimes baking soda cause redness or burning.
Zinc oxide, on the other hand, is soothing. It supports your skin barrier instead of stripping it, so you can apply it daily (even after shaving).
At Bedrock, we pair zinc oxide with nourishing oils like Meadowfoam Seed Oil, Rosehip Seed Oil, Jojoba Oil, Shea Oil, Olive Oil, Calendula Flowers, Matcha Green Tea Powder, and German Chamomile Essential Oil, so your deodorant goes on silky, not sticky.
If you’ve been burned (literally) by natural deodorants before, it’s time for a switch.
Our zinc oxide deodorant is the calm, effective, sensitive-skin solution your underarms have been waiting for.
