Our Story...

It was time for a fresh start! After working long hours and shift work, we decided to open a small business that we were passionate about to make more time for our wee one. Trying to sustain a healthier lifestyle introduced us to the reality that many commercial products, although they can work, are not always a healthy choice for the long term. After endless hours of research about cosmetic chemicals and health effects, we understand that changing personal hygiene products (especially ones that involve underarm sweat and odour) can be quite a challenge! After trying many natural products on the market, we could never find a deodorant that offered serious protection against sweaty and stinky pits. We have spend months researching ingredients and with some trial and error, we formulated our Pit Shop products. We are grateful to our human guinea pigs ( friends and family) that tested our products so we could get it just right! No more yellow stains on our clothing, itching, irritation or just plainly stinking like BO!

Although, it can take a few weeks for your pits to detox from commercial products, we've found that the benefits of changing to natural deodorant outweigh the health risks of antiperspirant. Isn't it about time you had a fresh start too?

Some recent customer testimonials:

* Amazing! Best natural deodorant I have used. The smell is not overpowering and this product doesn't leave any stains on my clothes . After a few days of using this I have noticed that if I do perspire a little, there is absolutley no BO smell. Will order again! ( Jason in Toronto, ON)

* So happy I found this product! I'm vegan and most companies use beeswax. I love that The Pit Shop uses vegan Candelilla wax instead! Like all natural deodorants, it takes time for your body to adjust to natural deodorant. Took me about 3 days to transition, but be patient as it's totally worth it to get over a little transitional hump and go natural and chemical free. You will sweat and smell less afterwards. My hubby who is a big sweater and goes to the gym everyday even loved it. Kept him stink free, lol !! (Julia in Seattle,WA)

* Love the Lavender & Tea Tree scent. Goes on nicely and I even made it through my hot yoga session without stinking! I've been using another natural brand, but I had to keep re-applying every few hours. I think it must be the Diatomaceous Earth in this that is absorbing my BO. Whatever it is, this stuff really works! (Alison in Dallas,TX)

* As a breast cancer survivor, I have become more conscious of the products I put on my body. Since the lymph nodes are under hte arnpits, it's scary to think that I was applying chemicals there for 40 plus years. Glad I made the switch to this product. So far it has been very effective with wetness and odour. (Bev in Sarnia,ON)

We hope you love our products and we thank you for supporting a small business.
