FAQs

Does Moon Sisters contain baking soda?
Yes. Sodium bicarbonate is on the ingredient list alongside magnesium hydroxide and activated charcoal. If baking soda irritates your skin, ROUTINE's baking-soda-free versions are the better choice.

What does Moon Sisters smell like?
Think warm and resinous: vanilla and tonka bean up front, with clary sage, vetiver, cardamom, patchouli and a hint of black pepper underneath. It is deeper and moodier than a fruity or citrus deodorant.
