“The scent is amazing: fresh, clean, and subtly rosy. And it feels very refreshing to apply — like you’re jade-rolling your armpits”
Photo: Courtesy of the Retailer Megababe is a body-positive beauty company that’s unafraid to tackle physical nuisances like chub rub and boob sweat. Their natural deodorant, Rosy Pits, comes free of aluminum, alcohol, and baking soda. When it launched, it attracted so much attention that it sold out within eight minutes and then promptly acquired an 8,000-person waiting list, before finally becoming available at Ulta.
Thankfully, I was able to chat with Megababe founder Katie Sturino in August and she passed an elusive Rosy Pits my way. It was still summer then, so I was pretty sure I’d give up within a week. But to my surprise, I’m still swiping this under my pits today. It doesn’t irritate my skin like some natural deodorants have in the past, and it goes on easily. I love its little pink container. It seems crazy to pay $18 for deodorant, but it’s lasted for a few months of daily use and I believe it’ll last a few more, so, actually, is it really that crazy? I’ve convinced myself that it isn’t.
Izzy Grinspan, Senior Editor I’m pretty high-maintenance about deodorant: I want my armpits dry as powder and freshly perfumed. I wish I could say that Rosy Pits changed my mind, but alas, it did not. The smell was nice and fresh and the packaging is adorable, but then there was the wetness issue. Morgan Sykes, Snapchat Editorial Assistant I am a very sweaty woman who also has extremely sensitive skin. I’ve been using Dove Sensitive Skin anti-perspirant for years because my body rejects other brands with rashes and itchiness. I’ve always wanted to go the natural deodorant route, but often, I didn’t love the product’s scent, it was ineffective, or most alarmingly, the natural ingredients seemed to infuriate my skin.
