Hoppin' Fresh Deodorant
Ursa Major offers a crisp, cooling sensation using eucalyptus and peppermint. It utilizes hops (antimicrobial) and kaolin clay to keep the underarms dry without the heavy use of waxes.
Quality & Materials
Contains 25 naturally derived ingredients including Hops, Kaolin Clay, and Aloe. Uses a very small amount of baking soda, which may affect ultra-sensitive users, but is balanced by soothing botanicals.
Evidence & Testing
Clean clinical testing for skin irritation. High user satisfaction ratings for active lifestyles.
Brand Transparency
Ursa Major is a Certified B-Corp and provides highly detailed ingredient sourcing information.
Value Assessment
Premium price point, but the stick is firm and lasts roughly 3-4 months with daily use.
Why Not Alternatives?
Offers a significantly better 'cooling' experience than Lume or Each & Every. It is a B-Corp, ensuring higher ethical standards than most drugstore brands.
