Fat and the Moon Aluminum Free Deodorant Cream, 2 oz
Fat and the Moon
Aluminum Free Deodorant Cream, 2 oz
One of the most honestly disclosed deodorants we have carded. It sits at 2 instead of 1 only because of the plastisol-lined lid, the same rule we applied to Davids’ HDPE cap.
A fully disclosed cream deodorant in an amber glass jar. The one honest catch: the jar lid is tinplate with a plastisol liner, the PVC-family seal on most metal lids, and the brand actually tells you, which almost no one does.

About Fat and the Moon
Fat and the Moon was founded in 2012 by herbalist Rachel Budde, who began formulating body care in her Brooklyn kitchen before moving the woman-owned company to Nevada City, California. It hand-makes deodorant cream, salves, skincare, and hair care from plant-based ingredients.
Its philosophy is to turn routine into ritual using the healing traditions of plants, with locally and fairly sourced ingredients and low-waste packaging, and the brand states its products are cruelty-free. The deodorant is a jarred cream you apply with your fingers, the baking-soda-free version is the pick for reactive skin, and being small-batch and handmade it carries a higher price per ounce.
