FAQs

We have two Cherry Pits formulas, standard and baking soda-free. Cherry Pits is a mix of essential oils, magnesium hydroxide, arrowroot powder and baking soda in the standard formula. Laura tirelessly researched which naturally occurring ingredients could work together to kill the bacteria that causes odor as well as wick sweat. After a year of trial and (smelly) error, Laura landed on the perfect formula.

Cherry Pits is natural, sustainable deodorant for humans who sweat.

That is a fantastic question. Every body is different. Cherry Pits works for us and the friends and family members who have tested our formulas, and we’re loving hearing how Cherry Pits is working for all the folks who have dove right in with a Standard Stinker

While baking soda works for some people, for others it’s harsh on the skin. We offer two Cherry Pits formulas, Standard and Baking Soda-Free, so that humans with skin sensitivities have options to join the Pitty Party in a way that works best for them. 

Laura and Violet tested a variety of biodegradable containers and landed on a mix of Kraft paper and wood. The Standard Stinker and The Big Boy are made from Kraft paper, The Pit Stop is made from untreated wood and The Feelin’ Fancy is made of bamboo.

Nope! Everything is laser engraved, which means the only addition is heat and light. Everything about Cherry Pits Deodorant is fully biodegradable, no harmful chemicals or microplastics to fret about.

We’re working on it! We hope to have a few retail locations soon. If you’re interested in being one of Cherry Pits’ first wholesale clients, let us know!

You have the option when ordering to pick up your Cherry Pits on our porch or to ship your Pits right to you.

Cherry Pits feature a hint of cherry, rose and a few other scents, but it’s mild and in no way overwhelming. You’ll have to go sniffing around a bit to ID friends and family members who are part of the Cherry Pitty Party. 

Violet’s very into Cherry Pits merch, so expect all sorts of Cherry Pits swag to come soon with her current priorities being giant Cherry Pits necklaces and wrestling belts.
