Is Natural Deodorant Safe to use during Pregnancy?

Pregnancy is a time of incredible change, your body is working harder than ever, and every choice feels more important. What you eat, what you put on your skin, and even what you breathe in, it all matters.

At Frank + Bare, we created our Fragrance Free Deodorant to be gentle, effective, and formulated for peace of mind during pregnancy. This is deodorant redefined, the natural way.


What Makes It Pregnancy Safe

We focus on clean, skin loving ingredients that work hard without compromise. Each component has a clear role, a strong safety profile, and a history of cosmetic use suitable for sensitive skin.

Fruit Acids, AHAs

At low cosmetic levels, alpha hydroxy acids help gently rebalance the skin’s pH. This supports freshness without the need for harsh actives. The AHAs used here are mild, topical, and appropriate for pregnancy when used as directed.

Shea Butter

Rich in fatty acids and vitamins, shea butter is known for soothing and protecting delicate skin. It is widely used in pregnancy skincare, and it helps maintain comfort in the underarm area.

Rice Bran Wax and Tapioca Starch

These food derived ingredients deliver glide and natural moisture absorption. They are breathable, non occlusive, and comfortable for daily wear during pregnancy.

MCT Oil and Plant Based Emollients

MCT, medium chain triglyceride, from coconut provides a lightweight, silky feel. Paired with other gentle emollients, it conditions the skin without irritation, and is considered non toxic and suitable for use in pregnancy.

Emulsifying Wax

This gentle binder keeps oils and butters evenly combined so your deodorant remains smooth and stable. It is recognised as safe for cosmetic use, including during pregnancy.

Capryloyl Glycerin, Sebacic Acid Copolymer

This plant based ester system creates a refined, silky glide and a lightweight finish. It is inert, biodegradable, and non sensitising, which makes it well suited to sensitive skin and appropriate for pregnancy.

Why Fragrance Free

Fragrance can be a personal choice, however some essential oils and aroma compounds are best avoided in pregnancy, or may increase the chance of sensitivity. Our Fragrance Free version removes that concern, giving you comfort and confidence without added scent.

Confidence Without Compromise

Pregnancy is a time to feel supported. With Frank + Bare Fragrance Free Deodorant, every ingredient is chosen for safety, comfort, and effective odor care.
