Introducing Picobello Deodorants

Following my principle that ‘less is more’, I set out to develop a deodorant for men and women that is free from synthetic fragrances, preservatives, aluminium salts and other harsh chemicals. Stored in recyclable aluminium tin, these all-natural deodorants are kinder to skin and the environment. Made from babassu oil, a lightweight, odourless alternative to coconut oil, arrowroot powder, a natural alternative to talcum powder that absorbs moisture and eliminates toxins, bicarbonate of soda which deodorises by altering the acid PH of the underarm skin, and kaolin clay, a naturally occurring mineral clay traditionally used in skin care to absorb excess moisture.

How does the deodorant work?

The range has been developed to keep body odour at bay by suppressing bacterial growth which causes body odour. It doesn’t act as an antiperspirant that stops you from sweating which is, after all, a healthy bodily function that gets rid of toxins and regulates your body temperature.
If you have never used a natural deodorant before your armpits may take a few weeks to adjust. Some people can react to bicarbonate of soda by developing a mild itchy rash. If that happens, discontinue and switch to my formulation for sensitive skin (contains kaolin instead of bicarbonate of soda).

How do I apply the paste?

Take a small amount and warm it between your fingers, then simply massage into your armpit. Picobello deodorant paste is slightly powdery and flaky at room temperature, making it easy to apply.

How do I store the deodorant?

Keep it in a cool dark place. In warm weather, it can be stored in the fridge, just bring to room temperature before use. Don’t worry if it melts, its effectiveness will not be affected.

Is the deodorant vegan?

Yes it is vegan and has never been tested on animals.

Picobello Face & Body Oil

Natural Ingredients for Gentle Care: Our formula centres around grapeseed oil, known for its gentle care, particularly on irritated skin. Complementing this are squalene from olive oil and jojoba esters, which help keep your skin soft and the oil stable without the need for preservatives. I’ve also selected a mix of unique oils such as hemp seed, avocado, baobab, pumpkin seed, and others, each chosen for their natural benefits. A new addition to this formula is bakuchiol oil, a rising star ingredient due to anti-aging properties and of course my all time favourite pomegranate oil packed with high levels of vitamins, minerals, and omega fatty acid which means it’s anti-aging, skin softening, clears acne, anti-inflammatory and pro-hydration.

Practical and Eco-Friendly Packaging: We’ve chosen an airless pump bottle to keep the oil fresh and to minimize exposure to air and light, reducing oxidation. The packaging is not only eco-friendly but also user-friendly, designed with oily hands in mind to minimise breakages if the package was dropped.

Natural Scent, Free from Synthetic Fragrances: Enjoy the mild, natural aroma of our oil, coming from a blend of essential oils including grapefruit and vetiver. We use only natural ingredients, no synthetic fragrances, sticking to a simple, earthy scent that complements the natural character of our oil and does not compete with your perfume or aftershave.

Versatile Use for All Skin Types: Our oil is designed for versatility. It’s suitable for use on your face, body, as an aftershave, or even as a massage oil. It’s meant for everyone, regardless of gender, and works well for various skin types. The oil aims to protect your skin, lock in moisture, and help reduce the appearance of lines and wrinkles over time.

Ethical and Sustainable: We believe in responsible beauty. This means ensuring that our ingredients are ethically sourced and our packaging is environmentally friendly. We use local suppliers where ever possible and all our products are vegan friendly.
Choose our Body and Face Oil for a simple but effective approach to skincare. It’s our way of combining nature and science to create a product that’s good for you and the planet.
