Briar Artisan Natural Deodorant | Sport Strength

 This stuff had to be Extra Sport Strength...and it is. If you have tried our deodorants you know they are high quality but this version takes the cake! The secret (no pun intended) is Potassium Alum!

ABSOLUTELY ZERO PARABENS, PROPYLENE GLYCOL, ALCOHOL OR TRICLOSAN CAN BE FOUND IN OUR CREATIONS!

Not To Be Confused For Aluminum:

To be clear, my deodorant does not contain the bad stuff; aluminum chlorohydrate, aluminum chloride, aluminum hydroxybromide or aluminum zirconium—all forms of aluminum commonly used in antiperspirants and deodorants. To stop the flow of sweat to your skin’s surface, the aluminum plugs sweat ducts in the top layer of your skin stopping the the natural flow of sweat to your skin’s surface.

The stuff in my Extra Sport Formula is very different, called alum. The most common form is potassium alum, also known as potassium aluminum sulfate. 

Potassium alum is a natural mineral salt made up of molecules that are too large to be absorbed by your skin. 

If you are already a fan of our many Bay Rum creations then you know to expect something smooth, refined, distinctive and just different. The goal was to stay within the Bay Rum tradition but add our own spin on things and a page to the history.

Atomic Pumpkin, though playful and fun is no different in this approach. We take Bay Rum serious, but if we can't dance now and again, it's not our revolution...if you know what I mean? :)

Our Atomic Pumpkin Bay Rum is steeped in classic pumpkin pie spices for up to 6 weeks before the batch is complete; Allspice, Ginger, Cinnamon, and Nutmeg...minus the Clove! I felt rather than opt for a typical orange top note I'd Reach for Moro Blood Orange instead. 

The 'Moro' is the most colorful of the blood oranges, with a deep red flesh and a rind with a bright red blush. It is from this rind that the hydrosol used in our splash is derived. The aroma is much more intense and present than a standard or bitter orange hydrosol. Very distinct with almost berry type notes.

I also chose to use Elemi Resin fastly becoming one of my favorite of the classic perfuming resinoids!

Elemi is an ancient resin dating back to the time of the Pharaohs, both spicy & peppery but contains even more pronounced woody-grassy facets. It really makes for a solid grounding element in what would typically be a spicy and flighty charge for your nose! Meaning, Elemi really reins in the typical hot heads of the blend.
