PondaPits Natural Deodorants

Living with hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) can feel exhausting.

There is currently -no known cure for HS, so treatment usually focuses on managing flares, reducing pain, and helping prevent long-term scarring.
In the earlier stages, healthcare providers may recommend topical or oral antibiotics, hormone therapy, or steroid injections. In more advanced cases, procedures such as deroofing (opening the tunnels beneath the skin) or surgical removal of affected tissue may be considered. Been there done that and "NO!"

But there’s another piece of the puzzle that often gets overlooked: what you put on your skin every single day.

While an organic deodorant is not a treatment or cure for HS, many people with sensitive underarms prefer products made without harsh chemicals, synthetic fragrances, or ingredients that may irritate already inflamed skin.

That’s one reason I’m passionate about creating products like PondaPits Natural Deodorants.

The goal isn’t to promise miracles. The goal is to offer a thoughtful option for people who want to reduce unnecessary ingredients in their daily routine and choose products that align with a more natural approach to self-care.

If you have HS, consider talking with your healthcare provider about:
🌿 Keeping the affected areas clean and dry
🌿 Wearing loose, breathable clothing to reduce friction
🌿 Choosing gentle personal care products that don’t aggravate your skin
🌿 Following your prescribed treatment plan for flare management

For many people, healing is about combining medical care with intentional lifestyle choices. Every small decision—what you eat, how you care for your skin, and the products you use—can be part of building a routine that supports your comfort and confidence.

If you’re living with HS, I’d love to hear your story. What changes have helped you feel more comfortable in your own skin? Your experience might encourage someone else who’s still searching for answers.

3 Steps to a Plastic-Free Bathroom:

The "Empty First" Rule: Don't toss everything today—that’s more waste! Use what you have, then replace each empty plastic bottle with a plastic-free alternative. Start with your deodorant (the easiest switch!).
Swap to Solid & Concentrated: Look for "waterless" beauty. Ditch the plastic body wash for artisan bar soaps and swap liquid deodorants for organic, tin-packaged balms like PondPits.
Seek Out the "Refill & Reuse" Label: Support makers who use glass, tin, or compostable paper. These materials aren't just eco-friendly; they preserve the integrity of organic ingredients better than plastic ever could.

The Move: As we move PondPits to Texas, we’re doubling down on this mission—crafting new personal care essentials that prove you don't need plastic to feel (and smell) incredible.

“It’s Just a Rash”—But It Wasn’t.

I still remember the first time I left a dermatologist’s office feeling invisible.

I had gone in for help with the irritation under my arms—raw, itchy, darkening patches that felt like they were burning every time I moved. I thought I’d get answers. Instead, I got shrugged off.

“Just use less deodorant,” he said. “Maybe try a different brand. It’s just a rash.”

But it wasn’t just a rash. It was pain. It was embarrassment. It was years of trying products that weren’t made for my skin, and doctors who didn’t understand the unique ways skin of color reacts to chemicals, friction, or inflammation.

After yet another round of over-the-counter creams that did nothing, I started reading everything—labels, blogs, ingredient lists I couldn’t pronounce. That’s when I found PondaPits.

Natural. No aluminum. No synthetic fragrance. And created by people who actually look like me.

Within weeks of switching to their natural deodorant, the burning stopped. The dark patches began to fade. I wasn’t afraid to raise my arms anymore—literally or metaphorically.

The biggest lesson? Sometimes you have to stop looking for healing from people who don’t understand your skin—or your story—and start listening to those who do.

✨ If you’ve been feeling overlooked or underserved in your personal care routine, maybe it’s time for a different approach.
