Natural Deodorant


Simple, effective everyday freshness—without the antiperspirant.


Our Natural Deodorant is handcrafted in small batches with a carefully selected blend of ingredients designed to help keep you feeling fresh throughout the day.


Fractionated coconut oil and beeswax create a smooth, easy-to-apply base, while cetearyl alcohol helps give the formula its creamy, solid texture. Magnesium hydroxide and zinc oxide are paired with corn starch to help absorb moisture and support everyday odor control.


This is a deodorant, not an antiperspirant, so it does not work by blocking perspiration.


Instead, it allows your body to sweat naturally while helping you feel fresh and comfortable.


Choose the scent that suits you:


🇺🇸 Merica Brave — a bold, patriotic fragrance for those who like a little character with their morning routine.

🌿 Fragrance Free — no added fragrance, making it a simple choice for those who prefer to keep their personal-care routine unscented.


Ingredients: Fractionated Coconut Oil, Beeswax, Cetearyl Alcohol, Zinc Oxide, Magnesium Hydroxide, Corn Starch, Fragrance Oil (Merica Brave only) or Mango Butter (Fragrance Free only).


Handcrafted in small batches by Country Bathworks in Willow Springs, Missouri.


For external use only. Do not apply to broken or irritated skin. Discontinue use if irritation occurs.


Let your body do what it naturally does. Country Bathworks simply helps you stay fresh along the way.

"Questions from the Front Porch" Nieghbors always have good questions, and we are always happy to answer them. Whether you're new to handmade soap or simply curious about how Granny creates products, you'll find many of the answers here. If you don't see what you're looking for, please don't hesitate to reach out--we're always happy to visit for a spell. What makes handmade soap different from store-bought soap? ​ At Country Bathworks, every bar is handcrafted in small batches using the traditional cold process method. Unlike many commercial soaps, handmade soap naturally retains glycerin, a gentle humectant that helps attract moisture to the skin. Each bar is thoughtfully made with nourishing oils and carefully selected ingredients to create a rich, creamy lather and a luxurious bathing experience. ------------------------------------------------------------- How long does a handmade bar of soap last? ​ With proper care, a bar of handmade soap typically lasts 3 to 5 weeks, depending on how often it’s used and whether it’s allowed to dry between uses. To extend the life of your soap: Keep it on a draining soap dish. Avoid letting it sit in standing water. Allow it to dry completely between uses. A simple soap saver or draining dish can make a noticeable difference. ------------------------------------------------------------- Why does every bar look a little different? ​ That’s one of the joys of handmade soap! Every batch is poured, cut, and wrapped by hand, so slight variations in color, swirl patterns, and shape are completely normal. Those little differences are what make each bar unique. ------------------------------------------------------------- Is handmade soap safe for sensitive skin? ​ Many people with sensitive skin enjoy handmade soap because it is often made with gentle ingredients and moisturizing oils. Since everyone’s skin is different, we recommend reviewing the ingredient list for each soap and doing a small patch test if you have particularly sensitive skin or known allergies. ------------------------------------------------------------- Why do you use oat milk in your soap? ​ Oat milk is valued in handmade soap for its silky feel and the creamy lather it helps create. It complements the nourishing oils in our recipes and fits perfectly with our commitment to crafting gentle, luxurious soaps. ------------------------------------------------------------- What is cold process soap? ​ Cold process soap is made by combining oils with lye in a carefully controlled process that creates soap through saponification. After pouring, the bars cure for several weeks, producing a firm, long-lasting bar with a rich lather. ------------------------------------------------------------- Does handmade soap contain lye? ​ Yes—but only during the soap-making process. When soap is properly made and fully cured, the lye has reacted with the oils through saponification. The finished bar contains soap and naturally produced glycerin, not free lye. ------------------------------------------------------------- How should I store unopened soap? ​ Store your soap in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Handmade soap continues to cure over time, and many people find that an older bar becomes even harder and lasts longer. ------------------------------------------------------------- Can I use handmade soap on my face? ​ Some people do, while others prefer a soap formulated specifically for facial skin. At Country Bathworks, we also offer facial bars made with ingredients selected for delicate facial care. ------------------------------------------------------------- Are your soaps made in small batches? ​ Yes! Every bar is handcrafted in small batches in the Missouri Ozarks. Small-batch production allows us to focus on quality, consistency, and craftsmanship from start to finish. ------------------------------------------------------------- Are your soaps made in Missouri? ​ Yes. Country Bathworks is proud to handcraft every bar in the beautiful Missouri Ozarks. Our products are inspired by the landscapes, traditions, and slower pace of country living that make this region so special. ------------------------------------------------------------- How long do your soaps need to cure? ​ Each batch cures for approximately 4–6 weeks before it’s ready to be enjoyed. This curing process allows excess water to evaporate, creating a harder, longer-lasting bar with a richer lather. ------------------------------------------------------------- Can handmade soap be used every day? ​ Absolutely! Handmade soap is designed for everyday use. With nourishing oils and a creamy lather, it’s a wonderful addition to your daily routine. ------------------------------------------------------------- Why is your journal called The Ozark Soul? ​ The Ozark Soul is more than a journal—it’s the heart of Country Bathworks. It celebrates the beauty of simple country living, the traditions of the Missouri Ozarks, and the everyday moments that inspire our handcrafted soaps. Through stories, reflections, and seasonal observations, we hope to share a little of the place we call home.
