How? By creating a dry and sterile medium for your sweat pores. The cream-encapsulated powder absorbs moisture, and minerals and coconut oil reduce bacteria growth. Plus its natural fragrance (even in unscented) provides cover.

This helps you feel dry and clean in any spot that can get warm and sweaty, but it's invaluable in spots like the underarms or groin area (where apocrine glands release a substance irresistible to germs; the waste shed by the bacteria is what causes stink)

The cream formulation clings to your skin and lasts all day long

It can treat existing stink too (not a shower in a tin, but close!)

It is comparable in price-per-use to drugstore brands (no boutique vibes here)

It is zero-waste: re-use the rust-resistant screw-top tin, or return it for $1.25 off your next 2-oz purchase

It is 100% plant-based, hypoallergenic, and safe for sensitive skin

Ingredients: arrowroot powder, shea butter, coconut oil, magnesium hydroxide, sodium bicarbonate, carnauba wax. (Scented varieties include the named pure essential oils.)

How do I use ANTIFunk cream deodorant?

With clean fingers (or maybe a wood craft stick), scoop out a pea-sized amount and apply directly with your fingers to each underarm or other spot, rubbing it in for a second or two.

When you first try us out, use as much as you need for the area you usually cover. Assuming it works out, try using just a pea the next time. For underarms, try covering just along the line where your arm connects to your torso; that's your hottest spot, and it may be all the coverage you need.

A tip: when you first open a tin of ANTIFunk, jot the date on a removable label or piece of tape, so when it's all gone you can know how long it lasts for you and figure your price-per-use.

FAQs

Deodorants aren't enough for me. Does ANTIFunk stop perspiration?

Every body is different, and we don't know if people who get severe body odor will find our product useful. It does not stop perspiration, but it does more than just deodorize. We’d like you to give us a shot for free—our pop-ups have free samples to apply on the spot, as well as a (limited) supply of 2-day sample packets.

Also worth a try, no matter what product you go with, is keeping underarm (or groin area) hair trimmed or thinned or at least washed as thoroughly as possible in the shower, because apocrine gland secretions come out through the same pores as those hair follicles, essentially coating that hair with stink potential.

How can I get ANTIFunk in the scent I like?

We offer 2 pleasing scent mixes: jasmine + neroli, and mint + tea tree. We also offer unscented, which has a light scent from the shea butter and coconut oil. If you are more of a customizer, you can drop a little fragrance oil (your favorite skin-safe essential oil mixed into a vial of jojoba) onto a pea of the unscented in your palm before applying. Et voilà, your personalized scent, staying with you and besting odor all day long.

Isn’t sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) bad for your skin?

I left ANTIFunk in the heat, and it got a little melty. Now what?

What problems does ANTIFunk solve that other products don’t?

Do you offer discounted product for nonprofits that help humans?

Some products use too much sodium bicarb because it is one of the cheapest active ingredients, but it can cause minor chemical burns on the skin, particularly for those with sensitive skin. We include a very small amount and coat it in emollients to prevent it from activating on the skin. If you have irritation after trying our product, we’d like to hear from you, as we may try a baking soda–free formulation later.

Our product’s workplace is a 99° F underarm, so it can take some heat. It should be stored at indoor temps, away from a heat source, but in case it gets a little melty and soft, just set it upright in its tin in a cool spot, and it will resolidify. We’ve never known it to separate or lose efficacy, though if overheated the powder component may shrink back a little and develop a sandy appearance.

So glad you asked! The super discerning/sensitive among us get the ick from most products, and it’s the reason this product came to be! Here’s the list of what we’ve solved:

• tremendous plastic waste from stick applicators

• tacky-filmy texture or too-wet feel of some products

• chronic burning of (sensitive) skin by too much baking soda

• engineered scent nonsense that gives you a headache

• Cinderella-like abrupt abandonment of stink protection

• reverse-Uno BO caused by products that can turn your generally-okay pH very, very bad

• trickiness of applying product without transferring to clothing as you get dressed

• staining or clumping of product on clothing

We are open to supplying product at cost to organizations around Philly in support of low- or no-income folks. Potentially in unbranded mini cardboard boxes that are more portable and disposable than tins yet still sustainable. Please use the contact form to request free samples and ask about making at-cost orders.

To be clear...

We are not a safe space for anyone who takes the side of fascists, and we don't want their business. The trᐧmp regime and magas are anti-American and anti-humanity, enablers of the traffickers and r@pists of children, zombies of the defeated anti-Black confederacy, and the willing puppets of even more desperately depraved and addled pseudo-christians, eugenicists, and nihilo-capitalists. Their vile and disordered ideology and propaganda need to be seen for what they are, and they must fail.

But, we are a safe space for decent folk: everyone who believes, among many other besieged truths, that Black people make America great • that our society and our economy have only ever succeeded because of immigrants and their descendants (ie, nearly all of us) • that whiteness is not actually a thing, at any rate not a thing to be prized • that trans people deserve all their joy and all the rights and protections any of us do • that abortion is healthcare, and wanting to control women is deranged bullshit • that disabled folks matter and need to be allowed to thrive • that “never again” meant not ever and not anywhere, and especially not on our behalf, so LET GAZA LIVE.
