Quick Answer

Apply a pea-sized amount of Stellar Poetic Pits to clean, dry underarms using your fingertips, then let it absorb for 30 seconds before dressing.

Why Application Method Matters

Natural deodorants like Stellar Poetic Pits work differently than conventional antiperspirants. They rely on essential oils and botanicals to neutralize odor rather than blocking sweat glands. Getting the application technique right ensures the formula stays effective throughout the day.

Because this deodorant is aluminum-free, it won't stop you from sweating—that's a healthy, natural process. The goal is to keep your underarm skin fresh and balanced. Proper application helps the active ingredients bond with your skin and work as intended.

How to Apply Stellar Poetic Pits Deodorant

  1. Start with Clean, Dry Underarms: Wash your underarms with a gentle soap or cleanser and pat them completely dry. Any moisture or residue from previous products can prevent the deodorant from adhering properly. Applying to damp skin can cause the deodorant to slide off or feel sticky.
  2. Scoop a Pea-Sized Amount: Use a clean fingertip or a small spatula to scoop out a pea-sized amount of the balm. Because the formula is concentrated, you don't need more than that for each underarm. Using too much can lead to product buildup on your skin or clothing.
  3. Warm It Between Your Fingertips: Rub the balm between your fingertips for a few seconds to soften it. This makes it easier to spread evenly and helps the essential oils activate. Skipping this step may result in uneven application or clumps.
  4. Apply in a Thin, Even Layer: Gently massage the softened balm onto each underarm in a thin, even layer. Focus on the entire underarm area, not just the center. Avoid rubbing vigorously. A thick layer can feel greasy and may transfer to clothing.
  5. Let It Absorb Before Dressing: Wait 30 to 60 seconds for the deodorant to absorb into your skin before putting on your shirt. This prevents transfer and ensures the formula stays where it belongs. Dressing too soon can rub off the product and reduce effectiveness.
