Cornstarch in Clean Deodorants: A Gentle Approach to Freshness

When it comes to deodorant, the focus often falls on fragrance or strength — but the foundation of a clean formula is balance. At Coastal Classic Creations®, we turn to organic, non-GMO cornstarch as a cornerstone ingredient because it performs quietly and effectively.

Cornstarch acts as a natural absorbent, managing moisture without the occlusive effects of aluminum salts or certain synthetic powders. Unlike talc or silica, it allows the skin’s natural functions to continue — supporting breathability, comfort, and softness throughout the day.

In our Wave Crest Deodorant Powder, cornstarch works alongside gentle baking soda to create a dry, weightless texture that supports freshness without irritation. It’s a small but essential example of how mindful formulation honors both body chemistry and skin integrity.

Choosing plant-based deodorant isn’t simply about removing ingredients — it’s about redefining care through transparency and thoughtful composition. Sometimes, simplicity is the most sophisticated choice.
