Ponio Natural Deodorant

Ponio Natural Deodorant is a solid stick deodorant packaged in a paper push-up tube instead of the usual plastic. It works by neutralising odour through the antibacterial action of essential oils rather than blocking sweat glands the way conventional antiperspirants do — perspiration stays natural, only the resulting smell is suppressed. The stated volume is 50 ml, weighing 84 g. The paper push-up packaging is noticeably lighter than a plastic tube and compostable, which matters on multi-day treks where both pack weight and the trash you carry back out are a concern. A sodium bicarbonate-free variant is available for sensitive skin, addressing the irritation some people get from soda-based formulas after shaving or in the underarm area. The product is vegan-certified. Compared with spray or roll-on deodorants, there's no risk of a leak inside your pack, though it does require applying with your fingers directly to the skin.
