For the sake of their health, many consumers are making the switch to aluminum-free deodorant products and SmartyPits sets itself apart by producing formulas that are packed with prebiotics. As SmartyPits founder Stacia Guzzo describes, "Sweat is naturally odorless; it's the bacteria on your skin that metabolizes a protein in your sweat, off-gasses and that's what causes BO." By including probiotics in its aluminum-free deodorant products, the brand helps to nourish the beneficial bacteria that's already on the skin and capable of fighting off odors.
SmartyPits' natural deodorant for sensitive skin is offered in refreshing varieties like Coconut Mango and Tweed + Spice.
At the annual Indie Beauty Innovators Awards, SmartyPits was awarded Charitable Company, as its product and sales revenue help to support both breast cancer research and survivors.
