Bubble and Bee Organic Deodorant Keeps You Fresh and Dry

If you have not yet heard of Bubble and Bee let me put the bug in your ear. This maker of organic personal care items is making waves in the world of safe organics. Their fun products are nontoxic and made with the best ingredients they can get their hands on. The line touts lotion sticks, lip balms and shower gels, to mention a few.

But their stand out product, in my humble opinion, has to be Pit Putty. This stuff really works and best of all, it’s aluminum-free. Like your typical organic deodorant this one controls odor, but unlike others it even seems to help keep you dry. It is made with organic arrowroot powder, which absorbs wetness and doesn’t cause skin irritation like baking soda can. Pit Putty also contains organic extra virgin coconut oil for moisture and essential oils to keep you smelling nice. Comes in two scents; Lemon and Clove (unisex) and Geranium Lime (more girly).

Reading forums about the evolution and revolution of organic and natural cosmetics is absolutely mind boggling. Think of revamping the FDA for insight! By necessity, the proposed standards are written for those who know chemistry.

The good news is that this daunting task for harmony is getting done. International collaboration between six European certification bodies: ICEA (Italy), BDIH (Germany), Bioforum (Belgium), Cosmebio/Ecocert (France) and Soil Association (UK) is in process now. Combined they aim to clarify requirements and definitions for organic and/or natural cosmetics to appease formulators and consumers alike.
