Why Matcha Green Tea Is the Secret Ingredient Your Deodorant Is Missing

What if your deodorant did more than fight odor? What if it actually cared for your skin, too?

That's why Freshstick was created. Instead of treating your underarms like an afterthought, Freshstick combines odor protection with skin-loving ingredients like Matcha Green Tea, 22% zinc oxide, Meadowfoam Seed Oil, Rosehip Seed Oil, Jojoba Oil, and Calendula Flower Extract to help keep underarm skin calm, comfortable, and healthy-looking.

Because happy skin smells better, too.

Why we use matcha green tea in our deodorant

Matcha Green Tea isn't just for your morning latte. It's packed with naturally occurring antioxidants and plant compounds that make it an excellent ingredient for sensitive skin.

When used in skincare, matcha is known for helping support skin exposed to everyday stress while providing a soothing botanical boost. In our underarm formula, it complements other nourishing plant extracts that help keep skin feeling balanced after shaving, sweating, and daily friction.

Freshstick includes Matcha Green Tea because we believe deodorant should support your skin—not just cover up odor.

Your underarms deserve skincare

The skin under your arms is thinner and more delicate than many other areas of your body.

Every day it experiences:

• Repeated shaving
• Constant rubbing from clothing
• Sweat and moisture
• Heat and humidity
• Deodorant applied day after day

It's no surprise that many people experience redness, irritation, bumps, or discomfort.

That's why Freshstick was formulated as skincare first and deodorant second.

Its combination of 22% zinc oxide and nourishing botanical oils helps:

• Support and protect the skin barrier
• Calm redness
• Soothe freshly shaved skin
• Nourish and hydrate dry-feeling underarms
• Keep skin feeling soft and smooth
• Neutralize odor naturally

Why zinc oxide and matcha work so well together

Freshstick pairs Matcha Green Tea with 22% zinc oxide.

Zinc oxide is known for helping protect skin from moisture while supporting the skin barrier. Combined with antioxidant-rich Matcha Green Tea and moisturizing plant oils, the result is an underarm formula that feels more like skincare than traditional deodorant.

Instead of relying on harsh ingredients, Freshstick focuses on supporting healthy-looking skin every time you apply it.

Freshstick customers notice the difference

Julie found Freshstick while looking for relief beyond traditional deodorant.

"I've been buying Fresh Stick religiously for a few years now. After trying different products to prevent under boob and undercarriage sweat and rashes, this has been my all time favorite. I can't recommend it highly enough."

For Cynthia, shaving irritation became a thing of the past.

"No more red, bumpy, irritated, itchy, burning or stinging underarms post shaving.

I've tried every deodorant out there, from traditional, vegan and other natural deodorants that claim to be non-irritant, only to find out how untrue it is!"

One longtime customer—who happens to be a naturopath—has trusted Freshstick for years.

"I’ve been using Freshstick for the last 7 years and it never disappoints! The summers here can get up to 110 and I still smell fine - this was not the case with other natural deodorants. The only issue is that the sweat/zinc mix seems to stain clothes in the underarm area. It takes a while to do this and I tend to keep my clothes for years and years so probably not an issue for someone who tends to change out their tops every couple years."

Matcha Green helps sensitive underarms

Many people choose Matcha Green Tea in skincare because of its antioxidant-rich botanical profile and its reputation for being gentle on sensitive skin.

When paired with barrier-supporting ingredients like zinc oxide and nourishing plant oils, it helps create a formula that's gentle for sensitive skin.

The bottom line

Deodorant doesn't have to be something that covers odor.

Freshstick was designed to help your underarms feel healthier, calmer, and more comfortable every single day. With 22% zinc oxide, Matcha Green Tea, Meadowfoam Seed Oil, Rosehip Seed Oil, Jojoba Oil, and Calendula Flower Extract, it supports your skin barrier while helping keep odor under control.
