Black Chicken Remedies Barrier Booster is a natural deodorant for Sensitive Skin.
Magnesium Hydroxide – an antibacterial that calms as it lowers cortisol levels and
improves cellular processes. Effective at detoxifying the skin and treating sensitive
skin areas. Powerful at stopping those odour causing bacteria!
Candelilla wax – is rich in nutrients and easily absorbed creating an instant barrier
to prevent chemicals irritating the skin.
Borage seed oil – a type of fatty acid well researched for treating inflammatory
skin disorders and antioxidant properties. Ideal for skin that can’t produce sufficient
protective oils, and suffering from inflammation and irritation.
Diatomaceous Earth – is almost perfectly pH neutral, so it won’t irritate skin
that is sensitive to acidic or alkaline levels. It’s rich in silica and highly antimicrobial,
which is why it works so well.
Shea Butter – is anti-inflammatory and soothing on the skin (lipid).
Coconut oil – is antibacterial and neutralises odour (lipid).
Camellia Tea oil – soothes skin irritations.
Vitamin E – soothes skin irritations (lipid).
Tapioca – absorbs moisture.
Organic Vegetable Glycerine – absorbs moisture and hydrates skin.
Directions
No roll-ons or sprays here – just finger friendly fun.
Applying our deodorant paste is just like moisturising your armpits.
Gently rub a pea sized amount under each armpit until absorbed.

Black Chicken Remedies Barrier Booster – Frequently Asked Questions & TipsÂ
I tried Axilla original and had a reaction, will I react to this one?
As part of the process of developing this new product, we gave Black Chicken Barrier Booster to customers who were sensitive to Axilla original to try every day for two weeks –100% of users reported no irritation and no odour. This new formula doesn’t contain Sodium Bicarbonate which can cause irritation in some people.
Instead, we’ve used Magnesium Hydroxide and Diatomaceous Earth to be gentle on the skin’s pH and neutralise odour. We’ve also incorporated other natural ingredients rich in lipids and fatty acids that actually strengthen your sensitive skin. That means it helps to improve your skin’s barrier to help protect it from things that may irritate it.
Does it have a scent?
Yes. This formula has hints of citrus freshness. Specifically, from the essential oils of Mandarin and Pink Grapefruit. The concentrations of these are low to deliver the scent without any irritation.
Is it as effective at neutralising odour as the original formula?
Yes, Axilla Barrier Booster Deodorant Paste contains the power of Magnesium Hydroxide – A powerful antibacterial that stops those odour causing bacteria! Just like the original formula, it allows your skin and sweat glands to function as normal without blockers or toxic chemicals to neutralise odour.
What do I do when my Axilla Deodorant Paste melts – can I still use it?
Because this is handmade, consistencies across batches may vary. Products may melt or harden due to weather conditions and appear grainy in texture. This is perfectly normal and won’t affect performance. We don’t use any chemical hardeners, preservatives or liquefiers in these products, so they can melt in extreme temperatures or go hard in cold climates. The good news is, all you do is remelt the product a bit by placing the tub in a sink of hot (not boiling) water just halfway up the side of the tub and then once it has softened or melted, give it a mix and place it into the fridge to reset quickly. The product will return to its original state.

I honestly swear by this product. I have been using this for over 5 years now and still an amazing product

I love this deodorant! It doesn’t irritate my skin and it’s got such a good smell that combats smelly armpits. It’s definitely my favourite to use especially when I workout. My partner also uses it for work since he’s also got sensitive skin. Best natural deodorant for both men and women!!!

My favourite natural deodorant. Works really well and is gentle on my sensitive skin- no redness, rashes, itching or anything! I love it!
Donna Salmon (verified owner) –
I’m very happy to have found this deodorant! It doesn’t irritate my sensitive skin. I used up the sample pot, and now I’ve ordered the full size (along with another small one, to take on holiday). It works well, and has a pleasant gentle smell.
kukish (verified owner) –
I absolutely love this deodorant!
I have very sensitive skin. After trying so many other natural deodorants with sodium bicarb (Including the original Black Chicken), I finally found this pot of gold. It works perfectly and is doesn’t irritate my underarms like all its predecessors did. I will definitely be purchasing this again.

Love this deodorant! Works really well with no irritation
isabelaliah (verified owner) –
Ordered the sample sachet to try it out first. I have very sensitive skin and this did not give me any rashes or itchiness. Just a small amount goes a long way. It does not have a strong fragrant smell, just a mild fresh natural scent which I love. I’ve worn it the whole day and overnight – no smell! But it’s cold weather now, must try it out during summer.
Jacinta (verified owner) –
I have tried a stack of natural deos and this is by far the best yet. The texture is really soft, it’s not over scented, doesn’t irritate and it works!
Shondell (verified owner) –
This deodorant is great! The regular version is AMAZING at keeping you smell-free for a whole 24 hours but unfortunately it gave me a rash after a while because of the sodium bicarb so I bought the sensitive version instead. It’s not quite as effective but I can still get through a whole day of work without worrying about getting smelly (and I’m on my feet all day so I work up a bit of a sweat sometimes). Finally have found a deodorant that I can stick with!
Maree –
The texture of this deodorant is really nice to apply I have found although I can’t stand the smell personally. I also feel like it didn’t keep me fresh for that long.

Having previously reacted to a different natural deodorant, I was excited to try BCR sensitive option. Initially my underarms were occasionally itchy, with my skin reacting a little. I know sometimes there is a “teething” period where your skin has to detox from synthetic deodorant, so I kept going (wasn’t a massively bad reaction) and after about two weeks my underarms had settled.
I like the feel and smell of this deodorant, applying it by finger is not a problem for me. I usually find I need to apply morning and night and am more hyper aware of smelling bad. But overall am very happy with how my underarms look and feel, it’s almost like moisturizing your armpits hah!

this deodorant is amazing! I’ve purchases this so many times and always amazed and how well this works as a natural deodorant! best one I’ve come across. also ohnatural have the best prices and quickest delivery. which makes it even more convenient
Ruth (verified owner) –
Amazing product! Smells fantastic and melts with the warmth of your hand. Found it better than any roll on or spray deodorant that I’ve ever used, and this one is all natural too!! Bonus!
Brittany Jackson (verified owner) –
I really like this, it is very smooth to rub on like a liquid moisturizer once you warm it up a bit. It smells awesome! Like essential oils. I really like the scent and it’s very easy on the skin. I do prefer the other black chicken remedies deodorant as I didn’t find that one irritating either and I found it was excellent as a deodorant. This one is good too but I feel it was slightly less heavy duty. I’d happily use either again though! This brand has the most effective natural deodorants I’ve ever tried.
aimeefj (verified owner) –
Unfortunately I was disappointed with this! It was the first natural deodorant I tried and had high hopes after so many great reviews! I had a small reaction to it, my skin is generally sensitive and reacts easily. It didn’t do anything to help with sweating for me – but I didn’t smell at all. The product itself smells good and is a nice texture.
emmafacer (verified owner) –
I’m really enjoying my new Axilla Barrier Booster natural deodorant paste from Black Chicken Remedies – Its my first natural deo and I was a bit nervous about it not working well – I am pleasantly surprised, it works better than anything I’ve previously tried and it smells delicious! Will definitely continue to purchase this product and recommend it to others wanting to try natural alternatives

As a yoga teacher, teaching outside on the sun, I need a good quality deodorant. Black Chicken delivers! On all fronts. Wonderful product, would not use anything else!
Violet (verified owner) –
I spent months experimenting with making my own deodorant, which was successful until I developed a sensitivity to bicarbonate soda!! Finding it impossible to create something without bicarb that actually worked, this has luckily come to the rescue! I love the scent, and it prevents me from smelling for the whole day. It barely ever leaves marks on my clothes, and if it does it easily washes away.
Emma (verified owner) –
Great product, one of a few that doesn’t irritate my skin. The smell is neutral which is awesome and keeps me dry all day long.
affmoriarty (verified owner) –
I have super sensitive skin and all of the natural deodorants I have tried have severely irritated my skin except this one!! I love it!! It smells delicious and keeps away odour.
Donna (verified owner) –
This is the BEST natural deo I’ve found and I’ve tried dozens. I can’t do bicarb so this one was definitely worth a go as I love Black Chicken Remedies products. This genuinely lasts me all day and as well as stopping any odour it also keeps me really dry. I’m not really aware of the scent but that’s OK. Another thing is it makes my underarm skin feel really soft – not something I’ve ever thought about before! At last I’ve found my keeper.

Love this deodorant too! It smells delicious and I enjoy wearing it. Plus it works!
Jade (verified owner) –
When I was pregnant, my skin was really sensitive and I had to stop using the original Black Chicken Remedies deodorant as it was making me itch like mad! Post-pregnancy, I used this and it was amazing at reducing my sensitivity – so much so that I’m now back using the original without issue. Highly recommend this if you’re finding you’re having a reaction to the original.
Angepants (verified owner) –
I love black chicken deodorant but had started to have a reaction to it every now and again, so thought I would try this. I like it but I don’t love it. The smell to me is a bit unpleasant almost a faint mold smell (it reminds me of mildewy curtains) and although I have had no irritation at all, I definitely haven’t found it effective at controlling odour at all. After a couple of hours it’s not great, if I’m doing physical activity it’s less time. I think I’m going to go back to the original and take the odd irritation and no smell over this situation. Keep in mind I’m probably considered a heavy sweater (only since changing to natural deodorant!) I do love the feel of it and it is really nice to apply but overall I won’t be buying again.

This was the first natural deodorant I tried. I had previously been using a clinical protection typed one but my eczema was getting bad so i decided to make the jump to natural, and the sensitive skin one seemed the way to go! I definitely found it a bit weird to use at first and it felt a bit gritty but now I keep it in my shower room and it softens up and goes on easily and smoothly now! While it doesn’t stop all my sweating, I have found it has reduced it a lot, and the essential oils seem to cover any odour that would be present. Will definitely be upgrading to the full size when my mini runs out!

Super! The top of the bar is set for natural deodorants!
evaboss (verified owner) –
I really like this deodorant. I used a full sized pot, and then decided to try the original Black Chicken formula for a little extra protection over summer. I immediately reacted to the baking soda and ended up with an uncomfortable rash! I will definitely be sticking to the sensitive formula from now on 🙂
Keryn (verified owner) –
Hallelujah! The search for a natural deodorant that doesn’t irritate my skin is over! I’ve just finished my first full pot and it’s great. After 6 months of trying all the different brands, and suffering seriously from them, I’ve had no problems with this one. I sometimes have to reapply more during the day if I’ve been super active, but that’s easy to do. Total convert here!
Crystal (verified owner) –
I purchased the 15g sample sized product after having a hard time with the full strength formula and my skin has taken extremely well to it! No rashes or issues. I have also been using the Detox-A-Pit and I believe this helps with the transition to Natural Deodorant .

I skipped the regular black chicken for this one after reading reviews about irritation. It smells so so delicious and i’m totally into the application, its really not a big deal to rub it in yourself. And because it smells nice its not gross on your fingers. But sadly it can’t get me through a day without smelling yuck. I’m going to try the regular version now !
Jess (verified owner) –
Love this product. I originally was using the original paste but found it was irritating my skin. Since using the sensitive paste I have had no irritation and I never have to reapply
Jodi (verified owner) –
This deodorant is the first natural deodorant I’ve tried, and I’m so impressed! It actually works, is easy to apply and has left my underarm skin feeling great.
Isabelle –
Great natural product, easy to apply, you only need a very slight amount. Rubs in easily, smells great and is truly blocking any smell, even after a full night in a overheated hall. Very effective. However I would not wear it with certain garments, as it does not block the sweat, and this is great as regards respecting natural function of the body, but sweat patches do not look good though.
kate (verified owner) –
My partner and I were using the original, and after a couple of months started reacting to it, we changed to this one and no problems at all. Lasts all day, no smelling. Its an excellent product!
hayleypearlnz (verified owner) –
I’ve used this deodorant for over a month now and it is easier to rub in than the original axilla deodorant, however this one makes my sweat smell really bad! I’m gonna switch back to the original one, even though I have a very mild allergic reaction to it.
Aimee (verified owner) –
I’ve used this deodorant for the past couple of weeks and I love how it doesn’t irritate my skin as much as other natural deodorants although there was very slight irritation during the introduction process it’s cleared up since and I love the natural smell. I find it doesn’t hold up quite as well against odour as some of the other natural deodorants (not sensitive types) that I’ve tried but I am a heavy sweater. All in all the Black Chicken barrier booster did pretty awesome!
Eva (verified owner) –
I’ve been using the tester pot for about 3 weeks now and I’ve noticed the condition of my underarm skin improving. It feels super moisturising when you apply it and I like that the fragrance is subtle and non-irritating. I’m buying the full-sized pot now 🙂
shivonsingh (verified owner) –
I’ve been using this deodorant for over 1 week now without any rashes or itchiness. It’s taken a long time for me to find a deodorant that works without causing flare ups, so both me and my armpits are definitely happy campers 🙂
Jenna (verified owner) –
Have tried the original black chicken and now this one! Love them both 🙂 i find the barrier booster one easier to rub on, they both smell amazing and work super well!! I have sensitive skin and the black chicken deodarant doesnt flair my skin up at all! Will continue to use everyday! Very happy

Love this deodorant! I read many reviews about Black Chicken irritating sensitive armpits so I was excited to try this. It smells gorgeous in the pot and rubs in like a moisturiser. I gave it the full test yesterday, worn out walking and then under a merino and overnight – no smell! It doesn’t smell like deodorant or sweat, just completely neutral. Absolutely in love with this product!
